NFL Preview - Miami (2-4) at New Orleans (2-5)

[Ross]

OVERALL ANALYSIS You should never underestimate the emotional element of a game, and the Saints should have emotion in plentiful supply coming into this contest. But Miami is a team that comes into Sunday desperate for a victory, and the Fins have to know that they match up with New Orleans well in the talent department. Miami should be able to run the football on a below-average Saints run defense, and the New Orleans offense can always be counted to make a few key mistakes. Look for the Dolphins to give Saban his first road victory as an NFL coach. Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Dolphins 21, Saints 20 Link to Story

Decent writeup...

i think thats a quick, concise and pretty accurate analysis, i bet the score (not necesarily the game) will be as close as predicted also

I'm going with Dolphins 31, Saints 13. Miami is going to get 3 TDs on the ground this week. Two different RBs will get at least 1 TD. We will also get a 100 yard rusher this week.

I think Miami saw what a road team needs to be like when they played KC last week. They learned the importance of winning the Time of Possession battle. I'm expecting them to run more than any previous game this season.

The Saints are doomed to a tough season. The season is long enough when you have home games. I expect them to get worse and worse each week. The Saints will not get a 100 yard rusher this week.

Also, Miami will score first for the first time in a month. Big week coming up for the FINS!
