New Orleans Saints: 3 Bold predictions for Week 12 vs. Falcons
1. The Saints beat the Falcons by more than 20 points
The last prediction is hardly a surprise. The Saints have put up at least 40 points in their last 3 games including a staggering 51 against the Bengals. In addition to putting up such huge points, they’ve won by a huge margin, too. They only beat the Rams by 10 points understandably but beat the Bengals by 37 points and then the Eagles by 41 points.
Honestly, the Saints are scoring on both sides of the ball and don’t look to be changing anytime soon. Who can blame them though? They’re putting up big numbers and blowing out teams left and right. Before they truly gelled as a team, they put up 43 points against the Falcons and orchestrated the ultimate comeback.
In their second meeting, I predict the game playing differently. Instead, the Saints are going to beat the Falcons by at least 20 points. Usually, the series is split but this year, the Saints are going to take it. Between the two, they’re the stronger team and with the Falcons falling two in a row, the Saints will take advantage.
As for the scoring breakdown, I predict Brees will throw for at least three touchdowns along with 2tworushing touchdowns and at least one field goal. That’s just a rough idea but the Saints continue to surprise. A win over Atlanta will fully cement their standing in the NFC South, though.
