Buffalo Bills at New Orleans Saints game preview, odds, and predictions
By Mike Dyce
The Buffalo Bills are coming into this game with out very high expectations. The New Orleans Saints on the other hand is coming off a bye week. The last game the Saints played was that dramatic loss to the New England Patriots, when Tom Brady threw a game winning touchdown at the end of the game.
“At times, when you lose, especially a tough loss like that, you make more of an impact when you’re encouraging and very positive,” said quarterback Drew Brees.
“At times, human nature would tell you to do one thing when really you may need to just take a deep breath and do the other. I think after a loss, human nature would tell you to get all riled up and mad and angry and yell. I think cooler heads prevailed and Sean has a great feel for that, to say, `Man, you guys battled, you played your heart out. It didn’t go our way this time but there’s going to be many more like this. Let’s be ready to win those.'”
With two weeks to prepare for this game, the Saints are looking to get back on track with a win.
