The New Orleans Saints face the Baltimore Ravens in Charm City this week.As we are all well aware, the Ravens stand as the only NFL franchise that Drew Brees has yet to defeat in his illustrious career.This obstacle will not be easy to overcome this week, as Baltimore enters this game with the #1 defense in the NFL, they are playing at home, and they are coming off a shutout performance in which they recorded 11 sacks.Although this will be a tough task for the Saints, the Ravens will certainly have more than their hands full against the best offense they have faced all season.The Saints are 7-5 following the bye since 2006, including wins in the last two seasons.The Saints need to extend that to a third season if Brees is to have any chance to complete his triumph over the league.This is truly Brees’ last chance (barring a rematch in Super Bowl LIII) as the Saints aren’t scheduled to face the Ravens again until 2022.Here’s to Brees finding the last time’s the charm in Baltimore, and to the Saints winning their fifth consecutive game!Who Dat!Now let’s take a look at this and all of the matchups in Week 7.Last week I went 8-7I told you so: Steelers over Bengals!What do I know: Broncos over Rams?***WEEK 7Thursday, October 18th -

Game of the WeekMore than any other Saints game this season, this is a really difficult game to get a read on.The only thing to truly feel confident about is that neither team will be able to run the ball on the other.This will leave it up to the quarterbacks.Who do you trust more, Joe Flacco or Drew Brees?I trust Drew Brees, and I trust he will finally defeat the only NFL franchise he has remaining to get a win against.It won’t come easy, in fact it will resemble something like an exorcism, trying to exorcise the demons of past failures against the Ravens for well over the past decade.At last, all good things come in due time.Wil Lutz will nail the eventual game winner and the Saints defense will hold on to victory in the closing moments.Saints win 24-23.Pick: Saints***Sunday Night FootballBengals(4-2) at Chiefs(5-1)Kansas City will rebound nicely from their last-second loss last Sunday Night.This Sunday Night, they’ll handle Cincy in another offensive show.Kansas City wins 37-27.Pick: Chiefs***Monday, October 22nd -
