New Orleans Saints: Drew Brees, bold predictions for Week 9 vs. Rams
1. The Saints snap the Rams winning streak
As we all know, the Los Angeles Rams are undefeated. Even though they’ve faced adversity, they’ve come out on top in every matchup this season. As for the New Orleans Saints, they have a lone loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This week is important for both teams, as we’ve already noted.
Last week, the Packers got close to snapping the streak. Eventually, the Rams came back to ultimately win the game and stay undefeated. In Week 9, I predict that the Saints will beat the Rams and snap their winning streak. Considering how dominant the Saints have been playing, it’s definitely possible.
Looking back at last season, the Rams snapped the Saints’ eight-game winning streak. It’s time for the Saints to get their revenge. They did it last week against Minnesota and should against the Rams this week. The Saints have made vast improvements since last season including a beefed-up defense, more offensive weapons and Drew Brees having an MVP-caliber season.
