00:00This is going to be a good game, Joe, and I think will tell us a lot about both of these
00:06teams and their outlook, not just for Sunday, but the rest of the season.
00:11The Falcons, a point and a half favorite, minus 130 currently on the money line against
00:16the New Orleans Saints.
00:17Total, only 42 and a half.
00:19Now I feel foolish.
00:21I thought the Falcons would be a team entering this year you would look at and bet over,
00:25over, over.
00:26They are one of eight teams at the end of three weeks that has been under in all three
00:30games.
00:31Of course, the Saints were an offensive juggernaut, scoring 91 points in their opening two games,
00:36only to put up 12 with just one touchdown last week against the Philadelphia Eagles.
00:42What do you expect in Atlanta between the Falcons and the Saints?
00:46So this was the game, first game that I bet on Monday for the week, Ben, and I took the
00:50under, and it was at 43 and a half.
00:54It's down to 42 now, and yes, I agree wholeheartedly with it there.
00:59Listen, the Eagles and Vic Fangio, we were talking about Clint Kubiak and his scheme,
01:06his blocking scheme on what we thought was a terrible New Orleans offensive line coming
01:11into the season, and yet they're dropping 40 plus points on everybody, except last week
01:18and the Eagles, which took away their ability to get big yards on first and second down.
01:24How did they do that?
01:25Well, they dropped six guys into the box and took away all of those passing lanes and the
01:31stretching of the runs that New Orleans was implementing.
01:35That's a blueprint now, and you've got an Atlanta defense that is going to be, has already
01:41seen it now, and they have absolutely the pieces and have had success in being able
01:47to limit this.
01:48I think Atlanta and Philadelphia's defense are very similar.
01:51I think they also will have no problem causing issues with a lot of checkdowns for Derrick
01:57Carr.
01:58The big plays, as far as I'm concerned in this game, throw him out the window.
02:01I think this is going to be a 20 to 13 type of game.
02:05I don't think we get to 40 points with these two quarterbacks and these two defenses.
