Hey everyone ...

This game goes off at 1:00 pm Pacific time
This game is not only a bad matchup for one team , it is also a total mismatch.
Both teams are coming off solid wins while scoring almost the same amount of points against weak opponents.
One team managed its first road win, while the other made it
3 of 4 on the road with its victory last week .
Let's get down to the teams :

Seattle and New Orleans

New Orleans is coming off a bye week on the heels of two consecutive wins.
New Orleans might have been excused for playing down to its opponent after the tough primetime battle against a top AFC team : the Pittsburgh Steelers .
What they did instead is play like world champions and stomped on their weaker opposition .
This 2010 New Orleans of the last 2 games  is looking more like the team that steamrolled through the first 13 weeks of the season last year on their way to the top of the NFL.
While this year's team may never be as explosive as last year's team , the defense is playing better.
Think about it , New Orleans allowed 13 points combined in their last 2 games, while beating the Steelers 20-10.
In last year's version of the Saints, winning a game like that would have been nearly impossible.
The Saints of 2009-2010 allowed 20 points or more to 12 of 16 opponents.
In the meantime , the offense is getting healthier and I believe will begin to feast on the weaker defenses.
Don't be fooled by Seattle's act last week on the road .
This team does not have the capability of putting two solid games on the road.
Seattle feasted on Arizona's weak pass defense and scored plenty against the team that is ranked dead last in points allowed .
380 yards is what Arizona gave up in passing yards to Seattle . But, even then Seattle squandered opportunities , at one point settling four 4 consecutive field goals .
Ultimately , Seattle was 2 for 8 in red zone efficiency.

Against New Orleans, Seattle will simply be facing the # 1 pass defense in the NFL ...
When they take to the  ground , New Orleans 16th ranked rushing defense will hold its own against Seattle's 28th ranked rushing offense .
As I see this unfolding , Seattle's running game will not be a factor when they find themselves trailing going into the second half . Seattle is not a come from behind team .
When they have been behind going into halftime , they have lost .
Seattle has only lost 4 times , but when they lose, they lose resoundingly .
By 17 to Denver , By 17 to St Louis , By 30 to Oakland , By 34 to the NY Giants.
 In all of their wins, they have gone into halftime with the lead .

I do believe , New Orleans will be leading at halftime and this young Seattle team will not recover in the second half.

New orleans is in a serious battle in the NFC South and is hitting its stride at the right time.
This is a game , they must and will win and cannot take lightly. New Orleans is coming off its bye, where traditionally large favorites have enjoyed much success ATS .
With new Orleans , rested , healthier than they have been all season while Coming off the best B2B games this season , Seattle is way overmatched and the spread in this game is rather generous .
I see an easy 21+ point win for the defending Super Bowl Champions

Game : Seattle @ New Orleans
Pick : New Orleans - 12
Prediction : New Orleans by 21 +
