Re: Saints predictions anyone?
I am expecting to see the Saints keep with their standard offensive balance and run the ball slightly more than half the time. The Redskins run defense, ranked 25th, will have difficulties stopping the Saints 5th ranked rushing offense. I can easily see three rushing touchdowns and one passing TD. While they could score more if they opened it up, I am expecting more of a ball control approach this week.
On the other side of the ball, the Washington QB (Collins is my guess) will be seeing tremendous pressure all game. I really doubt they will be able to get much established offensively.
I am not expecting as much scoring as some have guessed. Payton isn't one to run up a score ala Belichick. My prediction is 38-13 Saints with the 5th TD coming by way of special teams or defense.
