NO @ SF, or, the first time I’ve been excited about an NFL game

The variation in offensive quality dwarfs the variation in defensive quality these QB-dependent days, so the Saints deserve favouritism. The Niners should be able to get yards against the weak Saints pass defense if they keep extra blockers around to check-release against the blitz threat. That leaves the not-insignificant task of reducing Drew Brees’s completion percentage. Defending Darren Sproles is paramount, meaning that the secondary have to be on top of their game, because they’re not going to get much help.
