should all have big games. NO has the worst D I have seen. They make bad teams look good. All their ranks are worse than the Eagles. I think Maclin has the big day along with McCoy. NO best weapon is Graham and Phils have been pretty good at slowing down opposing TE's only giving up one TD to a TE this season.
I like Philly for the upset SU and ATS. Their recipe for the win is McCoy. Run him a lot and keep NO off the field. They need to get him 20 carries at least. Brees will get his but I cannot recommend a team that gives up almost 500 yards a game.
Vick is really my only worry this game. He has had a couple decent games, he has played against some strong defenses though. Good pass rushing teams in particular. The Saints are not nearly as good as the teams he has played.
CLE 13th in sacks
BALT 25th in sacks but had Ray then
ARI 2nd in sacks
NYG 3rd in sacks
PIT 21st in sacks, it is PIT though
DET 16th in sacks
ATL 13th in sacks
NO 25th in sacks
Lots of ties in the sack department but the teams that he turned the ball over a lot against were almost all blitz crazy. New Orleans is not. Plus I hope they are smart enough to exploit NO run d with McCoy.
The teams that he turned the ball over a lot against were almost all blitz crazy or had a solid pass D. New Orleans is neither.
NO is giving up 30 pts a game, 5 yards a carry, 12 Rush tds over 20 yards, 9 yds reception, a QB rating of 110(BAD) and they only have 3 interceptions vs an average schedule.
The interceptions stand out. Only 3 against teams that are throwing for 300+ a game against them. That is a lot of throws with that few ints.
I hope they are smart enough to exploit NO run d with McCoy. Denver gave them the perfect game plan all they have to do is use some of it.
