Simply put, the Saints are not the team outdoors that they are indoors.

Niners run defense should make the Saints offense one sided. 

Their last two games outdoors, they lost to the Buccs and almost lost to the Titans.

Just my opinion, could see it going either way.

Bottom line is.....

Just like Double says......who do you want in the 4th quarter helping you win......ALEX or DREW.  No question. 

I love the 49ers, but love money more.  Think it will be a great game, with Nawlans taking it when it's over. I like the under 24 1st 1/2, and whatever NO is for the second 1/2, and the over if it comes in under 24.

GL whichever way you guys go.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Saints only played 4 games on grass this year.  Maybe they didnt play well in those games, but that's a rather small sample size to declare the surface being the reason they played poorly.  I think the grass vs. turf debate is being blown out of proportion a little bit. I dont think it is a major factor.

They played 5 games outdoors this year. 4 of them came within the first 6 weeks of the season. Brees had over 64% completion and threw for over 300 yards in all of those games.

When playing on Grass. in 5 games, Brees has 9 TDs and 6 INTs

When playing on Turf. in 12 games, Brees has 37 TDs and 9 INTs


When playing on Grass, Saints are 3-2

When playing on Turf, Saints are 10-1 (The only loss being to the Rams in which Peyton says it was his worst coaching performance of his career.)

Yep, those stats are being blown out of proportion

earthWake, I dont deny that those are the stats.  My is question is, is the grass the reason they lost those 2 games?  Is the playing surface really that big of a factor at this level of play?  I dont think there is a large enough sample size to say that the grass is what is affecting their play, there could be a number or reasons Brees and the Saints had those results in those 5 games.  I just think the grass is getting too much weight.

I don't think its the grass that is the factor, I think it is the difference between playing indoors / outdoors.

Its so much easier to run a crisp offense indoors when the weather is a non factor. Teams also play faster on turf, scoring more points.

I respect the Saints and they do have a decent defense, So I know they can win/cover low scoring games. I just really love the 49ers in this spot.

I'm feeling a 24-21ish type game. gl all

    AGREE. Gore,Alex, Crabtree, V. Davis and Akers will keep it close.  PATRICK WILLIS , (BEST 3-4 LINEBACKER IN NFL),  sorry PITTSBURG, he actually makes tackles and does not run into the clubhouse to see who has the most sacks and he will be sideline to sideline . Ted Gin  will go coast to coast on a return. 29-19  'CAUSE they"re the NINERS.

Saints 3-2 on grass this year.  They lose to Green Bay in a high scoring affair go figure with those two teams.  They then go on to beat Chicago which was a good road win.  They then lost to the Panthers on the road .  Next, they lose to the Bucs on the road .  Finally, they beat the Titans on the road in a lower scoring game which doesn't impress me much.  The Saints road record for the season was .500 at 4-4.  I think the Saints have the better offense clearly.  I think the niners have the better defense overall.  The thing that would worry me as a Saints backer is they just aren't impressive on the road and they are giving points in a tough spot.  Drew Brees is a stats machine and he will probably put up good numbers but that doesn't mean they will win.  A team that can lose to the Bucs and Panthers on the road could easily be beaten by a much better Niners team.  Out of 17 games on turf this season their record is 11-1.  I think this is misleading.  The Saints style of play is perfect for turf and their schedule favors them in that way.  Watch out Saints backers they are playing a team that is 7-0-1 ATS at home this year.  As for the Alex Smith Drew Brees debate Smith doesn't have to play statistically spectacular.  I see where you are coming from DoubleUp don't get me wrong I just see this game playing out differently than you.

I look for Brees to make 2-3 turnovers with pressure in his face all day. Should be a great game. No way the 49ers get blown out. 49ers 19 Saints 17.

Way too Much Hype about New Orleans playing outside on Grass ....

MY Advice stop smoking the Cheap Grass 


Brees will be Rolling on Sunday , maybe not for 40+ Points but 30 will get it done

I am on the Saints large this game.  I don't understand all this talk about grass and turf.  Yea, they play better at the Thunder Dome, but right now this offense is on fire.  They might be the best offense in the NFL at this moment.  Also, their defense matches up really well with the 49ers offense.  I like the Saints by 10-14 in this game.  Also, no I'm not a Saints homer, I am a Panther fan.

Best way to slow down an agressive defense = screens and misdirection...in comes Darren Sproles.

Saints red zone offense efficiency on the road this year... 31% td's... Thats not exactly great... 49ers have scored at least 20 points in every home game this year, so everyone who is asking how will the 49ers keep up? 49ers don't have to keep pace this game... Saints will not score more than 30 points this game, and therefore 49ers will just have to hit their avg at home and it will come down to the last drive of the game... Im banking on akers hitting a game winning fg, or niners d coming up with the stop they could not make last year against new orleans when they lost on a last second fg... Tired of hearing everyone act like the 49ers offense is so pathetic... Most of you probably havent watched many of their games this year... yeah they have been pretty bad in the redzone, but alex smith has made plays this year and will continue to do so on saturday... 27-24 niners!!!!

i didnt know yardage meant everything in a football game... yeah he threw for 300 plus, but they avg only 25 ppg compared to 38 ppg at home... Their past 4- 40 plus point games have all been indoors... Brees can throw for all the yardage he wants, but that doesnt always turn into points!!!
