Summary:

Early in the season each team has shown a prolific offense and a terrible defense.  This game could be an old fashioned shootout with the last team in possession winning the game.  New Orleans has dominated this match-up in recent memory winning 15 of the last 20 head to head games.  Ultimately I like New Orleans at home by a field goal.
