I predict NO will kill us. They will exploit our weak secondary and Brees will go 7-0. NO 31 Phins 14. . Sorry Fellas

NO-34
Miami-20

I predict there will be a winner and there will be a loser. Saying that my final prediction is.....


There won't be a tie.

---------------------

"When you suck long enough, you get a Hickey"

I could see it going either way... We could see a duplication of the Colts game, where Miami dominates the clock, but it comes down to whoever has the ball last.

Or, Miami could blow it let Brees get rolling early and they get blown out trying to compete in a shootout.

I want to beleive the Indy game plan will work out this time... but I don't know if it is reality or my heart talking.

FINS 31, Saints 30

Yes...thye've looked good, BUT not great...I still think that their running game and RB's are sub par. I think Brees throws for 300 and 3 TD's, but constantly playing from behind...they come up short:

Fins 34 Saints 30

I think our secondary is improving every game. Even though they gave up a couple long passes in the Jets game, their coverage was tighter in the first 3 quarters.

Phins 31 Saints 24

Wouldn't that be nice?

This from the eternal optimist

I hardly ever pick the Phins to lose, but I don't think we have a very good chance this week. It's strength (NO passing) against weakness (MIA pass defense), and I don't see any factor that's in our favor to counter that.

I would say that nearly all of the following exceptional things will have to happen - on top of our 'normal' game - for us to win:
- intercept Brees at least one time
- sack Brees at least two times and hurry/hit him consistently
- get away with a little minor pass interference here and there
- get at least one play that gets us a big chunk of yards
- take a big chance that pays off (e.g. go for TD on 4th down instead of taking a sure FG)

Elements of our normal game that have to be there:
- effective and varied rushing attack
- relatively accurate passing attack
- no turnovers
- run defense that holds teams to a low YPC

Honestly, if we get down by more than 14 at any given point, I give us almost no chance of winning.

Sorry to be a bit of a downer, but I think the Saints are that good. Brees is having one of the best years ever for a QB, and I just don't think we're at a point where we can neutralize that particular strength.

Prediction: Saints 31-14. I think we'll keep it close through 3, but in the end we won't be able to contain their offense for the full 60 minutes and our offense won't be as magical in the 4th quarter as it was 2 weeks ago.

FINALLY, I SINCERELY HOPE I'M WRONG...

Trap game for New Orleans.

Miami coming off a bye


Miami 24-21

Secondary plays big; pass rush plays big; OL and RB play big and home crowd helps out.

Miami: 28
New Orleans: 24

I dont like predictions so I wont pick a winner but I'll say this much:

Any team could win on any given sunday.

It is funny to see the bias on the site. Guys it is clear that the Saints are the favorite and more than likely to win this game. We have given up to many big and easy plays on defense for me to think otherwise. When you factor in how they dominated the Giants last week, it is hard to argue against the Saints. I hope I am wrong and I know that on any given Sunday..., but the Saints should win this one 31 to 17.

Whoever comes to play will win the game. Nobody is unbeatable.

And i really hope is about 100 degrees on sunday.

What they didn't tell ya is that Brees had a sprained left shoulder for those two games and the Saints were down to their #3 LT. It was 'bout protection. These guys can find away to win.

However, if Gregg Williams forgot how to play high school ball (run option, aka Wildcat) and put a 5-2 on the Phins butt... y'all will win. Period!

What the hell? I write a whole detailed response to the post above me and it gets deleted? Just disappears out of thin air?


In response to Dixiebeer: "Why don't you take the dip out of your mouth, and then try talking" ... this crossed the line somehow?
