Those offensive shootouts get a bit boring.

I love a good tight battle between two closely matched teams but last night was never going to be anything but a high scoring game. Brees is on fire but I expect next week to be totally different. the 49ers know how to control the clock and they are awesome defensively. Im still going Saints but I think it will be close and a lot lower on the scoreboard.

Gonna be close tonight. I think they're going to edge it 23-17. Eli not being abkle to pull off another 4th quarter superman impression.

I prefer it when you have a chess match between offence and defence.

All in.

The Saints by plenty next week against San Fran. The Saints will put up the points, maybe not 40 odd, as you cannot cover all the weapons all game. In contrast San Fran can control the clock, but they'll need TD's, and they are pants at that.

Although I think NY will win, I'm hoping the Falcons get the W. Would much rather them coming into Lambeau than the Giants. Weather is apparently going to be terrible next week in GB, I don't want flashbacks of Favre's last game!

I see James Harrison is at it again

I'd like to see his reaction if someone did that to him the dirty sjithouse

It's impossible not to love Tebow. Poor QB but there is just something about him.

San Francisco are the most overrated team in the league, can't see them getting anywhere near New Orleans - good well-coached defense, but overall nowhere near as good as their record suggests.

Typical that I have Nicks and Manningham all season in my fantasy teams and decide to go for Cruz in the challenge thing because he seems to get so many more targets and they both get more points than him!

My first playoff prediction on so far, looking like this one could be a good game
