The Saints might be reminding some people about the New England Patriots of a couple of seasons ago, or the St. Louis Rams of 1999, in that they have won six straight games to start the season with an average of just under 40 points a game. Each of the six wins has been by a dozen points or more, with a sweep in the NFL betting odds. Almost as much of a concern for defenses as Drew Brees' 14 touchdowns, 8.6 yards an attempt or 1698 yards is the running game he has at his disposal, with Mike Bell or Pierre Thomas (whoever has been healthy) running for around five yards a carry. New Orleans can score points in bunches, and came back from a 24-3 deficit at the hands of the Dolphins last week. Within 37 minutes they had scored 43 points, and included were two more interceptions run back from touchdowns, one of them by Darren Sharper, who now has three TD's on the season.

The logical question that has to be asked here is whether Atlanta can keep pace to enough of an extent to beat the NFL betting odds. It would be a great thing for them if Michael Turner was to get hot, but it doesn't look like that's happening, as he had just 50 yards last week, with his average dropping to 3.4 ypc. Maybe the guy is burned out from last year. Matt Ryan has not been on a hot streak either; the second-year quarterback has been below 200 yards in each of the last two games, with two TD's and two INT's in each. If it becomes a pure shootout, Ryan is probably not as well-equipped as Brees.
