Tennessee at New Orleans

Don't mess with the Saints in preseason! Coach Sean Payton is very good, even in August, and has a lot of weapons to work with. He's 20-16 in preseason, including 20-9 in weeks 1-3. That includes last week's 26-24 win at St. Louis. One edge is QB depth with Drew Brees and veteran Luke McCown, and another is coaching, with Payton running the offense and Rob Ryan running the defense. Ryan did a terrific job last season in fixing what had been an awful defense in 2012. The offense struck for 375 yards last week on the road, including 252 yards passing, and now they are home (indoors), facing a rebuilding Tennessee squad. The Titans won at home for their new coach, but now they head out on the road. This team has a below average QB rotation with Locker, Charlie Whitehurst and rookies Zach Mettenberger and Tyler Wilson. Even in winning last week the offense had just 267 total yards and the defense was gouged for 146 rushing yards by Green Bay. Take New Orleans.
