TV: Fox.
Web: www.atlantafalcons.com
Radio: 93.1-FM, Macon; 98.3-FM, Houston County
Line: Atlanta by 3.
Central Georgians on New Orleans’ roster: None. There are three Georgia connections on the roster.
Scouting report: Do you know who controls this series?
Yeah, you do. When both teams have reached a level of competence, New Orleans has more. Of the last 10, it’s 5-5.
Right now, the Saints have the better overall offense, and the Falcons an edge on defense.
Atlanta has a better turnover differential, but Drew Brees is off to a better start than Matt Ryan. The Falcons are a superior run team, but Brees is a little more balanced in his target.
Who wins? Who knows? Just know that 11 of the last 12 meetings have been decided by 14 points or less.
