This matchup reminds me of the old movie "Trading Places", as the New Orleans Saints are the team entering here as defending Super Bowl Champs and not the New England Patriots. Bill Belichick used to be a huge moneymaker during the NFLX, but with so many Super Bowls, these games have taken on less and less meaning the longer he strolls the sidelines. Looking at the Pats in early week one and week two games over the past three years, Belichick's Patriots have clearly been no-shows sporting a 1-5 ATS mark. Brady will get limited snaps and with no real QB to follow - don't expect much, especially after the knee injury scare. The Saints playing any other team here might be in trouble, but going to the last decade’s version of Titletown, should give them enough juice to get the win here vs. the disinterested Pats.
