Defense has their work cut out for them, Brees can still put up them numbers. If the defense can hold the Saints under 20, we win this one. That Saints defense is embarrassing. If you can't score at least 20 on them, you don't deserve to win.
General Trends - closed roof...plus Drew Brees = Saints blow out win. Open roof plus Drew Brees = Texans close win. O/U at 48??? wow.. Vegas expects a very high scoring game.
It's going to be hard trying to outscore that offense. And the defense has new life with the coaching change + a bye.

My understanding is that the roof will be open unless it's less than 72 degrees. Or above 73 degrees. Or too sunny. Or too cloudy. Of if there'a chance of rain 10 days before or after gameday. Or if there's no chance of rain 10 days before or after gameday.
To be fair to Nate and Cecil, a lot of those were Mallet passes which I question were really catchable

Sunday is supposed to be rainy, forget fan comfort and leave it open. By the way, there are 6 DBs that are playing out of their minds the last three games. Johnson, Demps, Pleasants, Hal, Bouye, Joseph deserve a lot of recognition. Especially the rookie, it is tough to play in year one and show up like he is showing up. Kareem has been gone in that time period....coincidence?
