Saints vs. Giants Preview: New Orleans Needs a Win

The Saints will take on the Giants. Giants just want to put last week behind them. Saints want to put the last couple of weeks behind them. Not really sure what's going on with the Saints here. Saints looked really good first couple of weeks of the season, playing close games. And then, man, they have just crashed down to earth. But meanwhile, the Jameis Winston show continues, which is a very unpredictable show, which we saw last week against Washington. I think it's fair to say New York could have won. Washington could have won. They ended up with a tie. This week, as you can see, the oddsmakers are telling us these teams are about even, Joe. No faith in New Orleans, no faith in New York, you know certainly, tough one I think to call today, and we'll see if the Saints can get back on track but look, I mean, when Winston is playing good football the Giants usually win, but Joe, we're right about that time, in the Winston era where the pumpkin starts to return where after two, or three weeks all the picks start coming in and then they start going to another quarterback here, I don't know, I mean, the odds are sort of telling us this is the Saints win today, that's kind of what it looks like here just based on the odds, nothing else, but I don't know, don't love either team, I gotta tell you that, no, but I think what we're talking about here is one of the pieces I highlighted earlier, which is what are the teams that need a win the Saints need a win, this is a do or die scenario for them, you go to, you know, another loss here, in that column you're putting yourself basically out of contention, so you can't have that, also a little bit of drama going on too where Najee Harris is, going to be the quote-unquote starter today because Cam Akers' fumble issues, so we're sending a message to him, so Najee Harris, how much does he play, how long is he the starter for just a one series scolding of Cam Scadaboo and John Harbaugh sends a message old school style to Cam Akers like look, you're out there, to win football games right now with a backup quarterback put the best guys out on the field if Najee Harris was still good somebody would have signed him way back in February they didn't he was still floating around there come August so a lot of questions here also Tyler Shuck dealing with broken bones in his non-throwing hand Crystal Olave doing with an illness. Alvin Kamara's not a hundred percent. The Saints are in their feelings right now. The Saints need to get a W. I'm with you. I would go with the Saints side of this game. I would take the minus one and a half here with the Saints and hope for the best. And they find a way to make it work. But you know, the Giants have found ways to win football games. I'm giving them credit at the same time. They've had a cushy schedule with Arizona, with Tennessee. So like the Giants aren't world beaters either. The Orleans should be able to go on this road uh victory here today and get back into that NFC South standings and hopefully compete for division
