00:00Saints-Falcons a big game in Atlanta. We mentioned the injuries plaguing both of
00:08these teams certainly on the offensive line and it's led to this total
00:11crashing down Donnie. Let people know where I think if you have it in front of
00:15you where this number was as far as the total. The sides been shifting as well
00:18plus threes out there for anybody who wants to get involved with New Orleans. I
00:22do, I will, I am. What have you seen here with this game between the Saints and the
00:26Falcons? The interesting part about is again division rivalry these teams
00:29certainly don't like each other. One they get to get a leg up sort of even if
00:33you have that tiebreaker late in the season. Let's look at this to 74% of the
00:37tickets coming in on the road team here that's the New Orleans Saints but also
00:40keep in mind minus one and a half point favorite Kevin opened up early in this
00:43week for the Atlanta Falcons and I just told you roughly 75% of the tickets
00:47coming in in one direction. How about this line going from one and a half up
00:50to two and a half now as a favorite for the Atlanta Falcons. I don't know if it's
00:54that banged up offensive line we talked about here or if it's Alvin Kamara
00:57playing in this game banged up with leg and hip injuries. Chris Olava I think
01:00hurt his hamstring this week which usually is the death nail where you sit
01:03it out like so many wide receivers. He said he's going to give it a go so I
01:06don't know if he's going to be able to complete this game but it looks like the
01:09public really likes New Orleans. That sharp money running reverse here kind of
01:14interesting. Yeah it is I just can't bank Kirk Cousins in terms of this spot. I do
01:18expect a bounce back from the rushing attack with Bijan Robinson. He was held
01:23to 32 yards on the ground against the Chiefs on 16 carries. Look for Bijan to
01:28be utilized in regards to the passing game. Did score a touchdown last year
01:32with Des Ritter in regards to a wheel route. He could potentially eat in this
01:36matchup but again still believe in New Orleans defense on the road. I think
01:40they'll force a lower scoring game and again I like Carr. I like Carr over
01:45Cousins. That's how I'm banking it. Kamara's got a cheap number in regards
01:49to his receiving. I think it's 28 and a half. Keep an eye out for that.
01:53Alave 61 and a half. Foster Moreau might be another option as well. Yeah I'm on
01:58the Saints of plus three. I wanted to get three and once I was able to I made the
02:03move he wore in New Orleans. I think Atlanta is one of these situations where
02:07all year long we'll think to ourselves and they should have a better record
02:10shouldn't they but it won't be good enough and I mean you know PRS you just
02:14toss out a Michael Pennix Jr. a long shot for offensive rookie of the year and I
02:18don't necessarily you know Kirk hasn't been that bad that it's around the
02:23corner. He's not been that good that I think you're insane for mentioning the
02:26hundred and thirty to one price and I look at the New Orleans Saints. Had they
02:31held on against Philly last week. I think their favorites in this football game
02:34here. I just think getting a field goal in this matchup is good enough. There are
02:38a lot of injuries on New Orleans. The underrated one is probably to Mario
02:42Davis but Kamara is playing. Alave is playing. Maybe these guys are all more
02:47in real life but the scene from the Saints is this is a strong defense. I
02:52think they turn over Kirk Cousins and I think that's the difference all in all
02:56in this game. Let me just quickly ask either one of you whoever wants it.
02:59Bijon bounced back at all though. I said that I think in the receiving game as
03:03well. The rushing was but I understand I know but he ran the ball for like under
03:08two yards a carry. Yeah well without the Mario Davis in that lineup and being
03:12banged up I think he can run. I think the middle could be open for him in
03:16regards to that. You gotta you have to give him a majority of the carries
03:20over out here. I understand you want a dual background backfield but he is the
03:26guy the home run hitter. He could catch it. He could throw it. He's a three down back.
03:30I mean he really is. You could keep him in there on third down situations and
03:34use him in the passing game. Now you're taking a look at last week's game. I mean
03:37obviously Atlanta is looking at the same tapes we watched last week where Saquon
03:41Barkley was hitting a home run. That was one of the best home run threat in
03:43football. Bijon Robinson. I think Joe's right to a point where this
03:47offense has to start with Bijon and has to end with Bijon today to help Kirk
03:51Cousins out. I just want to ask if they do drop the game Atlanta. When does
03:56that pressure start? I don't think ever this year though. They put
04:00themselves in this mode. Like if they never got Kirk Cousins it's probably a
04:04better look. You have more money to spend but the fact they spent so much money and
04:07so much guaranteed money that you just can't even move on from Kirk Cousins this
04:10year. There can't be pressure to move on. Yeah but like not pressure to move on.
04:14Pressure to win. Like they're expected. Yeah like if they drop this
04:19game they can implode is what I'm saying. It's like you know Kirk Cousins
04:23realizing that he's not winning games. Getting paid a bunch of money and knowing
04:27where they are right now. I'm on the other side. I'm on the Saints side but the
04:32other end of that Joe is they're home today. Field goal favorite. They win this
04:36game. They're 2-2. They take the Saints down. And by the way the
04:40follow-up game is getting tamp on a short week in your building for Thursday
04:44night. The reality for the Falcons is their win against the Philadelphia
04:47Eagles completely saved their season because if they lost that football game
04:51they would have had to beat Kansas City and they obviously did not do that. That
04:56was such a huge shift.
