Why New Orleans Saints Will Win

The Saints were able to dominate the matchup a few weeks ago, allowing just three field goals in a 24-9 victory at home. Taysom Hill is doing just fine doing what he does at quarterback – he’s not going to be Aaron Rodgers, and that’s okay – and the defense continues to be dominant.

The Saints lead the NFL in both rushing scores and fewest rushing touchdowns allowed. It hasn’t given up more than 100 yards on the ground in the last six games and forced 13 takeaways in the last five.

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

Why Atlanta Falcons Will Win

The offense picked it back up fast after that clunker against the Saints.

As bad as the offense was two weeks ago, that’s how good it was in a dominant 43-6 win over the Raiders – and it was without Todd Gurley and Julio Jones.

The running game still isn’t likely to work, and there won’t be five takeaways, but the defense has seen Hill once – this might be like a baseball team seeing a pitcher the second time through the order – and Matt Ryan and the passing game need to be merely very good. The Saint defensive stats are skewed after playing Denver in last week’s disaster.

Fantasy Football Player To Watch

QB Taysom Hill, New Orleans
So far, so good. He might not throw for enough yards to help you out, and he hasn’t thrown a touchdown pass so far, but in his two starts he has over 40 rising yards in each, and he ran for two touchdowns in both games. He’s the option now on the goal line – good for him, a killer for Alvin Kamara.

What’s Going To Happen

Atlanta will be better at home this time around. The New Orleans defense will still be an issue, and there still won’t be any running game, but the Falcons will make Hill throw – that will be a problem.

New Orleans will grind its way to a win, but it’ll be a tough fight.

New Orleans Saints (7-2) vs Atlanta Falcons (3-6) Game Preview

Why Atlanta Falcons Will Win

Taysom Hill is starting at quarterback for New Orleans.

You’ll take your chances.

The Atlanta defense hasn’t been bad on third downs. and the bad secondary that gives up the most yards in the NFL might get a break if Hill isn’t hitting his downfield throws.

Teams are able to throw on the New Orleans secondary just enough to keep pushing, and Matt Ryan should be able to press enough to push for at least 300 yards. But …

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

Why New Orleans Saints Will Win

Taysom Hill is starting at quarterback for New Orleans.

Drew Brees would’ve eaten this Atlanta secondary alive, but Hill should be able to add the wild-card and wildcat element to the mix. The New Orleans offense is bigger when it’s running well, and it’s not just going to be Hill barreling away.

Combine Hill with Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray, and the Saints are going to run and run and run some more. No one really barrels on the Falcons – they’ve had the fewest rushing attempts against them – but the Saints are about to change all of that.

Fantasy Football Player To Watch

QB Taysom Hill, New Orleans
Okay, well … here we go. You wanted to see if the guy could really look and play like a potential franchise quarterback, and here it is. Hill finally gets his first NFL start at QB, but don’t expect him to just be another Tim Tebow type. He’ll get his chances to throw and run the offense like normal, but if he happens to run in a few touchdowns, fantasy owners who’ll take the shot on him will take it.

What’s Going To Happen

The defense and running game will cash the check that Sean Payton wrote by naming Hill the starter.

Atlanta’s offense won’t get the running game going, and Matt Ryan will be good enough to keep things moving, but New Orleans will dominate the time of possession battle – Hill will be just fine.
