The New Orleans Saints are coming off a very dominant win on Monday night against the Miami Dolphins to remain undefeated. Last year, the Saints started 0-4 without head coach Sean Payton. Payton is back and the Saints offense is one of the most fun to watch. Quarterback Drew Brees is one of the best at throwing the deep ball and tight end Jimmy Graham is one of the best at grabbing the ball in mid-air. Today, they go on the road to face a Chicago team looking to rebound after getting its first loss.
The Bears had a terrible game against NFC North rival the Detroit Lions. Quarterback Jay Cutler had three interceptions and a lost fumble. The Bears are looking to rebound and get back to winning. The Saints have been a different team on the road. Normally they are much more vulnerable to making mistakes compared to their impressive play in the Superdome. Breed has struggled in Chicago, throwing six interceptions and only completing 55.7 percent of his passes. The Saints’ defense will have to get to Cutler and not let him sit in the pocket. The Saints have to get Cutler to throw the ball quickly, he has too many options who can make a great play if he is allowed to scan the field.
The Bears will not have as many turnovers as last week, but the Saints will advance to 5-0. The Saints are playing with such confidence right now that I do not think many teams can beat them. Drew Brees to Jimmy Graham has become such a deadly combination that teams are struggling to cover. The Saints have Darren Sproles who can do a little of everything which takes some pressure off of Brees so that he does not have to throw a ball up and hope that it does not get intercepted. The Bears will keep it close, but will not get it done today. Bears vs. Saints- who you takin?
