atlanta falcons 17 vs new orleans saints 48

ANALYSIS

Two teams who both somehow have a shot at making playoffs will dog it out in a crucial NFC South matchup.

Before their bye week, the Falcons lost back to back games that looked extremely similar. A 19-13 loss to the Commanders was followed by a 19-16 loss to the Steelers. In the loss to the Steelers, Marcus Mariota threw for just 167 yards with both a TD and INT. Drake London has a solid showing with 6 grabs for 95 yards. The Atlanta defense has been playing well recently but the offense, who also recently lost Kyle Pitts, needs to step up.

The Saints are also coming off a bye week as well as a two game losing streak to go along with it. The New Orleans offense has been shut down as of late putting up a combined 16 points in their last two games. Andy Dalton has not been getting it done this season, winning just three of the ten games he’s played.
