Can the Niners defense slow down Brees and Co.? Can the Saints defense contain the run and force Alex Smith to throw more? I'm on the record as saying that NO will look human outdoors, so I look for the game to be close. I'll say 24-19 Saints. Who you got?

Line: 49ers +3
O/U: 47

49ers since they're at home. Brees isn't always superman outside the dome.

This is tough. Brees isn't always great on the road like Raw Dawgin' It mentioned but I'm not sure how much I trust Alex Smith.

Should be the best game of the weekend. I think Saints in a close one.

Should be the best matchup of the upcoming week. I think the Saints pull it out...but a close game.

Idk...i think when it comes down to it Peyton+Brees>Harbaugh+Smith.

Both have been there and are on fire right now. Saints by 7.

Also, interesting that this will probably be the best game, but I feel like its getting the least hype.

Im pumped for this game. I think the saints win by 14 but im also rooting for them since Brees won fantasy football for me. This will show just how good that 49ers d really is. I think Sproles is the xfactor today and has a huge day.

I don't see the saints running well. The swing passes and bubbles have to be the running plays

I hate the PI rule in the NFL. That was marginally PI if it even was, and its a stupid spot foul.
