  • This is either gonna be a close game or a blow out for new England. If the saints can hold back the score and stop the run they may have a chance in the second half

  • This game is going to be like the 4th, Christmas, your birthday, and New Year's Eve all rolled in one. I for one will have my popcorn and Coor's Light ready! I'm ready for some Football.

  • The two best quarterbacks in the league. Should be exciting.

  • I think the difference will be the run game. If the Saints have that going they might just pull out the win
    by Nat at 12/1/2009 1:21:58 AM
  • Saints are favored by -1 according to Vegas and the O/U is set at 56.5

  • Go Saints! I'm excited about tonight! Its going to be an entertaining game. I think that this game will be a true measuring stick which to gauge the level of play the saints are capable of. If they force the turnovers and score on them they have the game wrapped. Just watch out for Randy Moss!!!

  • Will tom or drew win?
    by rggray62 via email at 12/1/2009 1:27:14 AM
  • @rggray62 Its going to take a team effort tonight... Tom can win the individual matchup but still lose the game
    by Nat at 12/1/2009 1:27:43 AM
  • As much as I want the Saints to win, I have this feeling that Pats are going to roll through them. Especially with what happened to the Pats in Indy.

  • For those who care to know, I predict Patriots win 31-24 (My preview: heelsinthehuddle.com)

  • Nat! I was in on the blog last night! Great job and looking forward to another good game tonight! =]

  • New Eng needs too step up their secondary, if they don't it will be a long nite
    by marvin.cargle via email at 12/1/2009 1:30:20 AM
  • @marvin.cargle Saints are playing with a busted up secondary as well. 2 CB's out Greer and Porter
    by Nat at 12/1/2009 1:30:50 AM
  • NE by 18!
    by cancelyourcable at 12/1/2009 1:32:22 AM
  • @cancelyourcable Bold prediction there! I don't imagine a blowout tonight but I am sure Belli wont go for it on 4th and 2 either
    by Nat at 12/1/2009 1:32:53 AM
  • @maddhatter1968 I made my pick. Scroll down :)
    by Nat at 12/1/2009 1:33:29 AM
  • Another factor in this game is home-field advantage. Pats have yet to win on the road (in the states, that is)
    by Theyeti at 12/1/2009 1:34:25 AM
  • Is the game on espn I'm having a hard time finding it on tv

  • I think the Pats will win, Brady is finding his form again and seems to be throwing bullets out there to moss and welker! Go Pats!
