it should be decent weather in San Francisco, unless it's windy

Green Bay would be a different story

I bet but I almost always just bet the money.

This wasn't too bad today. Saints and Texans looked pretty safe. Straight up I put $20 on a two-teamer and will win $17.

Still don't believe in them as well as I do in a dome. Saints are 3-3 in their last six outdoor games, going back to last years playoffs. Beat Jacksonville by 13, Carolina by 3, Tennessee by 5. Lost to GB, Tampa, Seattle.

Niners have a good defense but Saints offensive line is strong, too.

Brees should have time to scan the field and spread it around. Not 450 yards but probably 300 and like a 27-17 win.

I just meant to beat the Saints next week. I can't see San Fran hanging with the Pack.

I'm not sure if I like them over the Saints either. Easily the toughest match up to pick of the 1st two rounds.

Yeah, I think the Niners/Saints will be close, something like 24-21 either way. Not sure the Niners have the offense to hang. BUT, I have trouble seeing the Saints winning two on the road outdoors in a row

The Niners are gonna get the same treatment that the Lions did. Its gonna be in California, not exactly bad weather im guessing. The Saints will have no problem playing outside

I don't think the ball touched the ground tonight. Oh well onto hockey now...nice run Lions. A couple DB's away from being a title contender

A couple DBs(even though when Brees gets 5 seconds everytime it isnt their fault) and the Dline not being pussys. Did they get ANY pressure on Brees in the 2nd half? Defense made absolutely no plays in the 2nd half. So many missed tackles and ints. 9ers arent going 2 make the same mistakes as the Lions did. I think San Fran wins like 27-24.

The Saints have the best OL in the NFL. They can run it when they want, and Brees has all day to make his throws. They are going to be hard to beat.
