The Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints are set to face off in NFL Week 17 action. What five bold predictions can be made for the game and what should fans be on the lookout for throughout the game?
1. Julio Jones Will Put Up Yet Another Amazing Game
Coming off of an impressive game against the Carolina Panthers in a huge win last week, Julio Jones is going to put up yet another amazing game against the Saints. There is absolutely no chance that the New Orleans defense can stand up to Jones, which means that a big game is coming. Atlanta is still one of the most dynamic offenses in the NFL and Jones will show why this week.
2. Drew Brees Throws for 350 Yards, Four Touchdowns
While the Saints may not have a very good defense, the same can be said about the Falcons. They simply aren't very good defensively and the Saints will be able to pass all over them as well. New Orleans has seen Brees play extremely well all season long and that will continue one last time to end the 2015 season for the Saints.
3. Devonta Freeman Rushes for Over 100 Yards, Two Touchdowns
Atlanta has been very happy to see Devonta Freeman break out as a star running back this season. He has complimented the aerial attack perfectly and will continue doing so this week. Freeman will rush for over 100 yards and two touchdowns this week and will keep the Saints' defense guessing all game long.
4. Tim Hightower Continues Racking Up Big Numbers
New Orleans saw Tim Hightower put up huge numbers last week and will continue racking up big numbers this week. He will continue racking up big numbers this week against the Falcons. There is no question that the Saints have found a hidden talent and Hightower knows that he is running for a future contract.
5. Atlanta Knocks Off New Orleans to End the Season
Dan Quinn and the Falcons are the better all-around football team and they will get the win this week. They still have a shot to make the playoffs, but it doesn't seem likely. No matter what ends up happening with their postseason hopes, they are going to take care of business and pick up the win over the Saints to end their 2015 regular season.
