After beating the Saints in week three, will the Falcons pull off the sweep with a victory in week 12?

Although I predicted the Falcons would beat the Saints in week three, I don’t foresee them pulling off a sweep this year.

New Orleans is way too good and has too many talented players on their roster to lose both games.

Drew Brees will find a way to win this one for the Saints.

How the Falcons Win: They’ll have to keep up with the Saints offense.

Michael Thomas is an underrated receiver, and their running backs are the best combo in the league.

They’ll have Mark Ingram back for this game so the Falcons will have to stop him and Kamara.

Matt Ryan will have to be locked in to keep up with Brees in this match-up.

I have faith that Ryan will have a great season, but I could see him struggling in this game.

X-Factor of the Game: The crowd at the Superdome.

The Saints have some of the best fans in the NFL, and the Superdome will be packed for this match-up.

We’ve seen the Falcons struggle in New Orleans before, and the crowd always plays a big part.

The only chance the crowd is quiet is if the Saints are unexpectedly struggling through a bad season.

Otherwise, I think the stadium will be loud, the Falcons will make mistakes, and the Saints will pull off the victory.

Predicted Score: Saints win 33-21.

This will stop the Falcons winning streak and knock them to 8-3.
