Week 11 AMA: Rams incoming

How do you think Rizzi and the team does in this upcoming game?

I'm cautiously optimistic that they keep the momentum going. Home game, healthy at the right positions, leaning into some confidence and swagger. The Rams are better than their record so even at home I expect it to be close. It could come down to who manages the game better in critical situations and closes out when the time comes.

There is, of course, a flip-side to that take. The spark of change from DA to Rizzi could be fizzling out. Teams now have a little more film on Valdes-Scantling and some of the new additions (though I really don't think that's who you have to stop to stop the offense). And just the general inconsistency of the Saints this season makes it hard to really pound your chest on this.

Not to mention one injury to the wrong player (cough *Taysom Hill* cough) could easily swing the game.
