Being at home for these three NFL teams has meant that their fans will see a victory. These teams are perfect at home this season, and this week they will roll over their opponents. 

 

New Orleans Saints vs. Atlanta Falcons

New Orleans has dominated teams at home this year, by outscoring teams 239-110. They are 7-0 at home and have not lost a game by less than seven points. 

This week, against the Falcons, they will finish their home schedule at a perfect 8-0 behind a passing attack led by Drew Brees. Over Brees’ last five games, he has 16 touchdowns and 1,776 passing yards. 

Just like in their Week 10 matchup against the Falcons, Brees will throw for another 322 yards and two touchdowns, as the Saints clinch the NFC South. 

 

Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears

This year at home, the Packers are 6-0 outscoring their opponents 241-109. They have scored 40 or more points in four of those victories, while holding opponents to under 10 points twice. 

This week, against a Bears team that is starting their third string quarterback, the Packers will hold Chicago to under 10 points while scoring over 30 points.

 

Baltimore Ravens vs. Cleveland Browns

Baltimore is a perfect 7-0 at home this year, outscoring their opponents 199-105. At home this year, the Ravens’ defense have held their opponents to 10 or less points in three of their seven victories. 

This week, the Ravens take on a Browns team that they blew out just three weeks ago in Cleveland. 

That game saw Ravens’ running back Ray Rice go off for 204 rushing yards and a touchdown. Baltimore will run Rice again for 25-30 carries and he will have another rushing day of 150-200 total yards. 

 

These three teams will continue their dominance at home this week. It’s no surprise that all three of these teams will make the playoffs, and should host a playoff game this year.
