The Saints have the best offense in the league with the fourth best passing game, that’ll be up against the Rams 23rd ranked pass defense. Even their fifth ranked running game will have it easy against the Rams 27th ranked rush defense. The Saints have one of the NFL's most versatile corps of running backs. RB Pierre Thomas is an agile back that can run inside or out, RB Mike Bell is a power rusher between the tackles and RB Reggie Bush is a change-of-pace runner that can bounce it outside for explosive plays or make catches in the passing game. The Saints average 37.5ppg and give up 21.8ppg, while they are 5-0 SU on the road where they average 40.3ppg and allow 21ppg.

The Rams had two sacks and pulled down one interception. They went 0-3 in the red zone. QB Marc Bulger’s last outing against the Saints in 2007, he had one of the best games of his career.
