Giants vs. Saints: New Orleans Will Defend Superdome on Monday Night Football

Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints welcome Eli Manning and the New York Giants to town tonight in what will be a matchup of two teams fighting for division titles.

The Saints are currently 7-3 and have a slim lead over the 7-4 Atlanta Falcons for the top spot in the NFC South. The Giants are 6-4 and trail just behind the 7-4 Dallas Cowboys in the NFC East.

New York enters the game having dropped two straight games, including a 17-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last Sunday night. The Giants lost that game at home despite the fact that the Eagles were without quarterback Michael Vick.

What should have been an easy win turned into an embarrassing loss thanks to New York's offensive ineptitude—they gained just 278 total yards while the defense surrendered 391. 

The Giants face a Saints team with a much better offense than the Eagles boasted last week, and New Orleans is also coming off of its bye week. With two weeks to prepare, I expect Brees to shred a paper-thin New York secondary that has suffered an absurd amount of injuries this season.

The Saints boast the NFL's top offense (436.9 yards per game), and top passing offense (319.4 yards per game), while averaging 31.3 points per game (second in the league). Meanwhile, the Giants rank 20th in passing defense, surrendering 239.1 yards per game through the air. 

Brees has led the Saints to two straight wins (over Tampa Bay and Atlanta), and things have really started to click for New Orleans, particularly in the clutch. The team's Pro Bowl quarterback is having another fine season, as he enters tonight's game leading the NFL in completions (299).

Brees is also second in attempts (422), completion percentage (70.9), and third in yards (3,326) and quarterback rating (101.5). 

I just don't think the Giants will be able to stop Brees and the Saints' offense. While it won't be a blowout, New Orleans will come out on top.
