Game Of The Week. Easily.The 10-0
Saints are coming off a very convincing
38-7 over Tampa Bay. The Saints
dominated every facet of the game, which
is what one would expect from an
undefeated team like the Saints playing
a one-win team like the Bucs. Drew Brees
is still playing at an elite level, and
the emergence of Robert Meachum has
given him another weapon in his already
potent offense. The only Saints weakness
as of late has been their paper-thin
secondary, but they addressed that by
signing CB Mike McKenzie, who played
with New Orleans from 2004-08.
The New England Patriots got over
their tough loss to Indy by dismantling
the New York Jets last week. Tom Brady
and Randy Moss are in 2007
“Perfect-Season” mode; they’ve hooked up
for touchdowns in each of the last three
games.
What The Patriots Have To Do
To Win
Mike McKenzie may be familiar with
the Saints system, but it may take him a
week or two to get back into game shape.
The Patriots will want to exploit that.
Not that they have trouble getting
touchdowns in the air, what with the
best passer-receiver combination in the
game. The Pats defense will be tested
heavily against the Saints offense.
They’ve played well last week against
New York, forcing four interceptions,
but the Jets have nowhere near the
explosiveness that New Orleans
possesses. It’ll be incredibly hard to
the defense to exploit mistakes made by
the Saints; Drew Brees and co. just
don’t make that many.

What The Saints Have To Do To
Win
They must outscore the Patriots. The
New Orleans Saints defense, although
much improved from last season, can
still look sketchy at times. McKenzie’s
return to the cornerback unit is a good
thing, but who knows how much immediate
impact he can make.
It’s going to be difficult for New
Orleans to match up against a
revitalized Randy Moss and Wes Welker.
Last week Welker caught 15 passes for a
career-high 192 yards. It will up to
Brees, Reggie Bush and Marques Colston
to win the game. So nothing out of the
ordinary for the league’s number one
ranked offense.
