NFL Football : Game Yard : New Orleans Saints @ San Francisco 49ers

The Niners could very well win this game if they can get some help from the crowd and from this Saints team that ain't all that, really.

San Francisco 49ers (2-4)


The 49ers are playing a Saints team that is on something of a roll, having won their last two games. On the flip side, San Fran has lost their last four games after having won their first two. The good news? San Fran holds a 45-21-2 record in the all-time series. The bad news (because you had to know that was coming) is that the Saints have won six of the last eight meetings. Ouch.

Saints are plaing good but they are not going to beat the 49ers by 12. Their good defence will make this a low scoring game. I think my pick for 7 might be high for this matchup.

I agree with Maize here. Saints are looking good and have lots of momentum.

Opposites Don't Attract – 

Two teams headed in opposite directions here. The Niners look like the SF team from a few years ago and the Saints are looking a bit more like the team that went to the NFC championship last year. New Orleans know that they are just 1.5 games out of their division lead with a lot of games left if they can win this and have CAR and TB lose, which could very well happen. The same could be said for the Niners, but they are in complete offensive disarray with no relief in sight.

Saints and Niners are pretty even...  – 

But, I like the Saints to win this one, making it three in a row... They are starting to gain a little confidence, which isn't good for all teams, but very good for the Saints. But they still aren't very good.
