Saints predictions anyone?

I think we can keep it close if our defense and special teams and score some points. So far our defense has not scored a defensive TD this season, and we are due. I hope the weather can be a factor to slow down the Saints offense as well. Our offense is missing alot of starters especial on the O-line and RB position which will hurt us. So if we can generate points from the Defense and Special teams we can keep it close but we lose i the end with the score 34-24 Saints WIN. We jsut dont force enough game changing plays on defense IE. 2 drop picks vs Cowboys we dont make the plays when the opportunity presents it self.

I am expecting to see the Saints keep with their standard offensive balance and run the ball slightly more than half the time. The Redskins run defense, ranked 25th, will have difficulties stopping the Saints 5th ranked rushing offense. I can easily see three rushing touchdowns and one passing TD. While they could score more if they opened it up, I am expecting more of a ball control approach this week.

On the other side of the ball, the Washington QB (Collins is my guess) will be seeing tremendous pressure all game. I really doubt they will be able to get much established offensively.

I am not expecting as much scoring as some have guessed. Payton isn't one to run up a score ala Belichick. My prediction is 38-13 Saints with the 5th TD coming by way of special teams or defense.
