New England Patriots @ New Orleans Saints
The 7 – 3 Patriots travel to New Orleans to take on the defeated Saints at 10 – 0. This is the biggest game of the season so far. The Saints will be looking to stay undefeated, and keep in the hunt for the perfect season. The Patriots, who went 16 – 0 in ’07, will be looking to end the Saints chances to repeat their feat. The story of the game has to be the matchup of QB’s Drew Brees and Tom Brady. These are 2 of the top 3 QB’s in the league in my opinion, and both will be looking to prove they are better than the other. The offences on both teams are very explosive, to say the least. There is no doubt that both of these units can put points on the board, and at speed. Many people believe that the winner of this game will be determined by the play of their defence. Without doubt the better defence belongs to the Patriots. They are ranked 2nd in the points against category, and 6th in both yards and pass yards. They will be pleased with that stat, against this Saints pass first team. The problem against the Saints though is they can score through so many avenues. They have actually had 18 players score a TD this year. I can’t wait for this game, it’s going to be great, shame that our TV can’t sort anything out in order to show the game.
Lee’s Prediction: Patriots 28 Saints 35

I think Brees will have a solid game, but I think the Pats D has something to prove and will prevail in the end.
