New York Jets at New Orleans

Bookmaker.com line – New Orleans -6.5 (45.5)

      Who blinks first? Is it the New Orleans offense, running out of bodies to protect Drew Brees as Jets defenders swarm the pocket? Or the Jets defense, which wears down trying to cover a dizzying array of Saints receivers and starts to give up big plays? Suffice to say that the emphasis is on pocket protection this week in New Orleans. This is the only game on the docket featuring two 3-0 teams, and both are plenty hungry after mediocre seasons last year. Brees no doubt remembers the 2006 game when the Ravens, under defensive coordinator Rex Ryan, came to Louisiana and ripped NO. Brees threw three picks in that one.
