1. Saints fall to Washington in close-contest

With everything that was covered, the Saints are not going to have an easy path to victory this upcoming Sunday.

Both teams have their flaws on both sides of the ball. When looking at both defenses, they have shown that they have had trouble stopping their opponent’s passing offense. On the flip side, the Saints’ uninspiring receiving corps puts them at a disadvantage against Washington, who has Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel at their disposal.

The game will be close between both teams, but it will come down to the wire, much like their respective Week 4 contests. But, we have to give the edge to Washington, due in part to their advantage in the passing game.

Final Score: Washington 30, New Orleans 27
