    I am most excited about this game because I am gonna be in attendance!

    This will be our toughest test to date, especially on the defensive side of the ball.

    Will be interesting to see how we handle the wildcat. Henne has a really strong arm and can sling it downfield. They just don't have any good receivers. Ginn, Jr gets lucky every once in a blue moon.

    Anyway, early prediction

    Saints 31, Dolphins 23

    Saints need a few quick strikes early on. The Dolphins secondary is their weakest link on their D. I expect Brees to attack the that secondary just like he did the Giants and how Manning did to Miami's D. Make the phins abandon the widlcat and force Henne to throw. Henne can sling it but the Saints D can intercept it.

    yeah i agree, you cannot get one dimensional against the saints defense or things will get ugly fast.

    They have given up 18 pass plays of 20 plus yards and opponent's QB rating is a fairly high 89.5.

    That's bad news for Dolphins fans. Look for Henderson to strike it big a couple of times.

    The key is stopping that damn wildcat. Easier said than done. This will be the Saints toughest assignment so far this year on defense. This offense is that good. Make them pass 3rd and long and pin your ears back and get after an inexperienced Henne and force some turnovers.

    The Dolphins have two young corners that are inconsistent in the passing game and two safeties that arent very good in pass coverage. With that being said the Saints will have to stop the Dolphins running game.

    51 running plays to only 21 by the Saints.

    I am not buying it.

    im thinking that he picked the score like that because if he picks the saints they will lose, but if he picks the phins, the saints win, little reverse psychology.

    I didn't watch the whole Dolphins/Jets game. How often did Miami run the wildcat? I only saw routinely on that last drive.
