Undefeated Teams Battle On Monday Night

AFC Game Of The Week

Dolphins (3-0) at Saints (3-0)

Dolphins: I like this Dolphins team. They have an offense that is starting to click and a defense that can get a takeaway or two when you need it. I was very high on this team in the off-season and so far they’ve made me look good. What’s really impressed me about them is the fact they won two of their first three games on the road which is very unheard of and last week they beat an NFC powerhouse in the Falcons. I have this team making the playoffs in a very down coference that is the AFC and I’m sticking with that prediction. The Dolphins have a huge task ahead of them on Monday night and that’s the New Orleans Saints at the Super Dome. The Dolphins need to play their game in order to win this one.

Saints: Last year, they were 0-3 around this time and everything was going wrong. Despite not having their head coach, the Saints still put points up on the scoreboard and Brees truly carried this team on his back. It was the defense that was hurting this team. Let’s look at now. A new defensive coordinator in Rob Ryan and the Saints have held all three opponents under 17 points and I’ve been very impressed with the turnaround. What a difference having a head coach back on the sideline can make. A head coach can bring an impact just as any player can. They have a matchup with the 3-0 Dolphins on Monday night. We’ll see if the pass rush can continue to be dominant.

Prediction: This is a true test for the Dolphins. They need to establish that running game early to keep Brees on the sideline. The Saints have improved and have shown us that their defense is capable of making plays as well. I like the Saints to keep rolling. Saints 35 Dolphins 20.
