The edge:  

Coming into this game, Arizona has the so called hot hand.  I'll give them that.  However, Arizona shot their load last week to win the game in overtime.  Arizona is on a short week.  It is very difficult to change plays on defense and offense in less than 6 days and execute to perfection.  I truly think an older quarterback, like Warner, can not sustain the high level of output as he did last week.  I don't think he has the legs for it.  His passes will not be as accurate because of it, resulting in picks.  Warner, himself, said he's retiring because his body is wearing down.  Its brutal to play at a high level in the NFL.  Saint will be studying that game very closely.  People are creatures of habit.  Brees is a freak when it comes to watching films, dissecting teams, and practicing plays to perfection. People are concern that the Saints will be out of sync.  If any team other then the Colts and Saints, I would be concern of the extended rest.  But, the Saints are not sitting around drinking beer and placing bets like most of us.  That being said, I'm not a fan of any team.  But I like the Saints in the dome laying 7. 

Best of luck on the Saints -7.
