The Atlanta Falcons are flying high, having come back to win four of their five games to start the 2015 season and I attribute most of that to the explosive running from Devonta Freeman, which has opened everything else up for Matt Ryan and that offense.

On the other side, the New Orleans Saints are losing most of their games and the dysfunction is coming from the defensive side of the ball and a complete lack of a running game. This is effectively what the Denver Broncos would be right now without their all-world defense.

This game has the makings of an upset and I really want to pick the Saints here, but teams that win in comeback fashion tend to find a way to get the job done, while teams that lose late in games find ways to lose. I'll grudgingly pick the Falcons here.

Prediction: Falcons 27, Saints 26
