I'm worried that the Hawks are going to come out and start slow again, against a team we can't play catch-up with. Hopefully our D isn't a little rusty from the break and comes out firing on all cylinders. If the pass rush doesn't get after it, it could be a long night facing the best QB of the season. The Hawks haven't played an offense nearly as talented as the Saints all year, and we know we are vulnerable against a team like the Colts. Hopefully, that wasn't indicative of what a guy like Brees can do with his weapons.
That said, I just can't pick against the Hawks at home right now. But, I'm concerned about a not unusual slow start digging too deep of a hole this week. If the Hawks come out and score early, the game should be manageable down the stretch.
Hawks - 21
Saints - 20
