CSC Staff Picks, Week 9: Saints expected to keep rolling against Atlanta

The New Orleans Saints are back in the Superdome again this Sunday, facing yet another NFC South team, this time the rival Atlanta Falcons.

While the New Orleans Saints have had issues and injuries (including most recently to quarterback Jameis Winston), the Atlanta Falcons have had their own fair share. The Falcons lost Julio Jones in the offseason with the expectation that Calvin Ridley would be their number one receiver. Ridley is expected to miss this game as he addresses his mental health, so the Falcons will be left to rely on quarterback Matt Ryan, tight end Kyle Pitts, and RB/WR Cordarrelle Patterson to try to upset the Saints.
