Monday Night Football matchups are chosen to be the best games of the year. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't. The Falcons vs Saints contest at the Superdome on Nov 2 looks to like one that's going to work out. The Saints and Falcons have been building and working an intense rivalry for years. the Atlanta Falcons have always been a major stumbling block for the New Orleans Saints.
Over the past few years the Saints have had the upper hand. But still the Falcons have acted as spoilers at opportune moments. How badly do you think the 4-2 Falcons would love to knock off the 6-0 Saints, at home, in the Superdome? Believe me, thpough Atlanta has had it's share of problems in the last few weeks, losing to the Dallas Cowboys and getting hit with injuries, they'll be pumped and primed come Monday night.
As for the New Orleans Saints, having knocked off the New York Giants, engineered an incredible comeback against the Miami Dolphins, and posted a two game lead over the Falcons in the NFC South, overconfidence could be an issue. What Saints fans need to realize is that this Falcons vs Saints game is the first major hurdle in an incredibly tough stretch of NFC South games. while the Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are struggling, they're still capable of winning on any given Sunday. And the Atlanta Falcons are just plain good. a playoff team last season, with a young and talented quarterback, a Pro Bowl tight end, and a running back like Michael Turner can beat anyone when things click. At first glance Falcons vs Saints looks like a probable win for New Orleans but it could also be a deep trap.
