Saints in Great Position vs. Falcons Even With Trevor Siemian

Add Trevor Siemian's name to the list of quarterbacks that Tom Brady has now lost to in his illustrious career!

The veteran backup went 16/29 for 159 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 36-27 home win in Week 8 over the Bucs, as Brady was picked off twice in the loss.

With Jameis Winston done for the season with an ACL injury, New Orleans is likely to move forward with some combination of Siemian as well as Taysom Hill at quarterback, but according to NFL Network's James Palmer, the Saints are high on what Siemian can do and that "he wouldn't be surprised if Trevor goes out and plays for a stretch" of games.

Regardless of who starts, the Saints are set up nicely to continue their stretch of impressive football when they host the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. New Orleans is a 6-point favorite at home with a total of just 42.5 points at WynnBET Sportsbook.

New Orleans also won't have Michael Thomas, as he acknowledged on his social media account that his ankle injury will cost him the entire season.

Saints have Dominated the Falcons Over Last Several Years

For those interested in trends, the Saints have had the Falcons' number as of late. Via NFL.com. they've won three straight games against Atlanta, allowing 20 points or fewer in every game. From a long term perspective, New Orleans has been a thorn in Falcons' QB Matt Ryan's side his entire career. The Saints are the only team he has a losing record to in the NFC South, going 9-16 lifetime against them.

Atlanta fell at home in Week 8 to the Carolina Panthers 19-13, giving them their 4th loss of the season. They're both 3-4 as well as 3-4 against the spread so far this year. New Orleans, meanwhile is 5-2 in their win/loss record, but are 4-3 ATS.

Kickoff takes place this week at 1pm ET on FOX.
