Atlanta Falcons (1-1) vs. New Orleans Saints (2-0)
NFL Week 3 Preview, Prediction: Atlanta Falcons Vs. New Orleans Saints
When: 1:00 p.m. Sunday, FOX
SB Nation Falcons: The Falcoholic
SB Nation Saints: Canal Street Chronicles
Breakdown: Assuming the Saints don’t run the table on some ridiculous 14 of 15-win season, this could be a big division tie-breaker down the line. Looks for the Saints to come out firing on all cylinders after looking choppy at times offensively to start the season.
Player to Watch: Michael Turner: He’s been limited in practice this week after suffering a groin injury last week. He’s expected to play and the Falcons likely know the best way to slow down a high-scoring offense is to control the ball and slow the game down. Look for Turner to have a big role.
Line: Saints are 3.5 point favorites.
Prediction: I’ll cautiously take the Saints here. The Falcons combo of Michael Turner and Jason Snelling is intriguing in a game like this though.
