The set-up: What's the first thing that comes into your head when you think about these two teams? For me it's high-flying offenses and very little defensive play. While that is in fact true most weeks, I think these two division rivals will play to more of a lower-scoring affair in Week 3.

The teams: The Saints had less than 300 yards offense in the win over the Browns. The offense had 475 yards in a Week 1 loss to the Bucs. Overall though New Orleans can't be happy with where it sits on either side of the ball. Last year the Saints made big strides because of improved defensive play and the team will have to continue that trend this season if it hopes to once again make a serious playoff run.

After coming up short on three occasions in the red zone in a Week 1 loss to the Eagles, the Falcons went four-for-four last week. Overall Atlanta can't be feeling too bad at this point at where it sits, especially from a defensive stand-point.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but New Orleans has seen the total go "under" the number in three of its last four as a road dog of three points or less, while Atlanta has seen the total go "under" in eight of its last 12 off a divisional contest (and in six of its last nine off a win against a division rival.) This number is high, play the "under."
