Put your name on it.
1. Drew Brees throws more than 1 pick. That's because he has a combination of Smith, Williams and Barwin in his face all day. Not a big believer in Zach Strief and Jermaine Bushrod. Olin Kreutz is pretty old and not very good either.
2. Thomas, Sproles, and Ivory gain well over 100 yards. Not going to lie Shaun Nobody is bad. Also, Evans and Nicks are pretty good guards and really if the Saints should have 100 yards if they have 25 or more rush attempts.
3. Saints D isn't going to be a sack machine against the Texans. In fact, I think most people are going to watch this game and leave with a much worse opinion of the Saints DL than they have now. Dolphins and the Colts both feature much better pass crushers, and none of them are speed/explosion guys on the Saints like Freeney or Wake.
4. Texans are winning the turnover battle in this one. With the running game being what it is I look for us to easily run on these chumps they have in their front 7, I mean have you seen what that LB corps will possibly look like on Sunday? That's just begging to give Tate another 100+ yard game, begging.
5. With no pressure to pass Schaub is going to have another high completion percentage/low yardage game. Callers all over 610 howl about Schaub is not good.
Texans 27 Saints 21
