No doubt they played an AWESOME game vs Dallas in every aspect. But with that being said, are we now going to look at that game and completely dismiss their recent road struggles? They have been great at home ALL YEAR, but let's look at their last 3 road games....
December 28 @ Chicago LOST 36-30
-A game they were lucky to be in. They were dominated pretty much all game and forced OT with a late comeback.
December 20 @ Carolina LOST 26-7
-Not much to say about this game. Played awful against a bad Carolina team.
December 6 @ Arizona LOST 30-17
-See above games
I understand Minnesota can cause matchup problems for the Saints IF they play their A-game, but based on their road struggles that is a BIG if. I am not saying the Vikes have no chance to win the game. They ABSOLUTELY can win, but I am very curious though for all the guys on the Vikes...
What makes you think they will all of a sudden light it up on the road vs the completely healthy Saints?

Lets look CLOSELY at the Saints last 5 games....
@ Miami
-Awesome come from behind victory but they were badly outplayed in the first half. The Dolphins proved that if you pressure Brees, he WILL make mistakes
Vs NYG
-Clearly they destroyed the Giants in every aspect of the game. BUT the Giants do not seem to be what we thought they were...
Vs NYJ
-You could argue they actually got outplayed in this game. If not for the Sanchez bonehead mistakes, this would of been a very, very close game.
@ Buff
-Was a 3 pt game going into the 4th and Buffalo collapsed leading to an easy Saints win.
The bottom line is this....
Yes the Saints are a very, very good team but they can be beaten. How often do you see a +500 team that actually has a chance to win? If the Falcons can force a couple turnovers, they very well can be in this game at the end.
May take a shot on the ML....
