Obviously the conditions would limit both the Rodgers & Brees arial attack, so it'd come down to more of a short attack/ground game. I like our RB's better, but in those types of games it always comes down to the lines, and their OL and DL pretty much owned the Saints' lines on the kick-off Thursday game, including that final play at the 1 to potential push it to OT.
I'd be pretty shocked if it wasn't a repeat in February.

I really can't get a good read on the Saints this year. I think they're a good team, but not a great team. That secondary has been lit up a few times, and they still have trouble closing out games on the road. They've been great at home, but the teams they've played there aren't great. Chicago and Houston are decent teams but I thought they were lucky to get by a Houston team that also struggles on the road, and they caught Chicago with their pants down. The game against the Giants is going to be their first true test.
