Week 13 Thursday Night Preview:

At Atlanta   -3.5    New Orleans          56

Thursday night’s game ought to be a great study of two teams that are headed in different directions. For the Saints, they last best chance to crawl out of the hole came on Sunday night against the ‘Niners. They had a chance early before imploding and losing by 10 points. With that loss, it’s “wait ‘til next year for the Aint’s. The Bucs gave the Falcons quite a scare and were marching on the door to victory before Asante Samuel’s late interception. The Falcons got a field goal in the closing moments to improve to 10-1 on the season. This week, they return to the Georgia Dome, where they’re unstoppable. They’re no reason why they can’t go to 11-1 after this game.

Projected Final Score: Atlanta 28, New Orleans 24
