I like Jack in this one. Brees is not 100% and with nothing to play for I don' t see N.O. taking any chances with him. He'll start.... not so certain he'll finish the game. Jack needs the W --- THE Myth

Despite losing last week to fall to 5-9 the Jaguars amazingly are still mathematically alive in the playoff hunt and will be fighting hard with that knowledge this week against the Saints. At 5-9 themselves the Saints are out of contention and are playing for pride at this point. With the Jags eliminated with a loss here against a team that’s not in the hunt, Jacksonville actually qualifies in a negative contrarian 57-95-4 situation that plays against the team that needs to win to have a shot at making the playoffs.
However, New Orleans doesn’t match up very well with a Jaguars team that defends the run well (allowing 3.8 ypr to teams that gain 4.2 ypr) and can move the ball and score on offense. The Saints defense has been terrible all season and it hasn’t gotten any better since the firing of Rob Ryan and installation of Dennis Allen as defensive coordinator. The Saints can’t defend the run or the pass and have allowed an average of 415 total yards at 6.7 yppl to teams that gain an average of 368 yards at 5.6 yppl. Jacksonville should score in this game and with the quarterback situation up in the air for the Saints (Drew Brees is dealing with a torn plantar fascia) this is a tough game to call.
It looks like we won’t know until Sunday whether Brees will play or not and because of that there may not be a line posted until his situation becomes clear. I’m assuming he doesn’t play and either veteran Matt Flynn or rookie Garrett Grayson will get the start. My prediction here is based on that assumption.

Big rumors with Paton prolly leaving and also Brees has been mentioned in being moved regardless of the $30 mil still on the contract. Brees will surely be limited with that foot today if he goes.
JAX +3.0 + OVER 51.5
