New Orleans Saints: 3 Bold predictions vs. Falcons in Week 16

1. The Saints beat out the Falcons this time

There were a few words to describe the Saints loss to the Falcons. Some could include shocking, heartbreaking and downright unbelievable. There were a lot of lows for the Saints that night including losing Kamara, Brees end-zone interception and the penalty from Payton running on the field.

It was such a tough loss but something the Saints need to keep in the back of their mind. That’s why I predict they will play even harder and tougher than last week. Instead of making those same mistakes, the Saints will overcome the adversity and come away victorious this time against the Falcons.

The win last time was so close, but those few mistakes kept it at bay. It’s going to be all about playing sharper, smarter and not losing a lead. The Saints have suffered from losing a lead and not gaining it back all season. They finally need to give up on that bad habit and make the Falcons work for all their points.

Even if the defense isn’t as sharp as last time, the offense needs to be even sharper. With Kamara back in the lineup and hopefully a clear head for Brees, a win will be challenging but not impossible. Here’s hoping the Saints get the gift of clinching the NFC South title!
