Atlanta Falcons go on the road for a big NFC South game against the New Orleans Saints. The Falcons are 6-3 overall and have won five of their last six games. New Orleans is 2-7 overall this season and they have lost seven straight games. The Falcons took the earlier matchup between the teams, coming away with a two point win. The Falcons Kirk COusins has thrown for 2,328 yards with 17 and seven interceptions. Atlanta is putting up 24.6 points per game and giving up 24 points per game. The Saints will look to improve on this season with a new coach after firing Allen after their loss to Carolina last week. The Saints looked explosive after their first two games of the season but have blown themselves up losing seven straight. Derek Carr has thrown for 1,225 yards with nine touchdowns and four interceptions. The Saints are putting up 23 points and allowing 25.4 points per game. If you believe in the New Coach Bump this is your spot. I don’t see how a new coach will make this team better. The Falcons behind Cousins is playing some good football at the moment and have momentum on their side. The Saints traded starting cornerback Marshon Lattimore, weakening a secondary that is ranked 27th in passing yards allowed. The Saints are 27th against the run also and the Falcons have the playmakers to exploit both. The Saints may be without their two best pass catchers which will limit their inconsistent offense. Even with a new coach, I can’t see the Saints matching the Falcons offensive output.
