The New Orleans Saints<\/a> face the Atlanta Falcons<\/a> in the Caesars Superdome this Sunday, in the second of two meetings between these bitter arch-rivals. Atlanta looks to sweep the season series with New Orleans, on their way to the NFC South title. For the Saints, this game represents the opportunity to end a seven-game losing streak and gives them the chance to play spoiler against the odds-on favorites to claim the division crown.<\/p>\n

We have officially entered some darker times. Any relief by the firing of Dennis Allen has been replaced with Tuesday\u2019s sobering realization. CB Marshon Lattimore, one of the most popular Saints of the last decade is gone, and gone with him is most of the joy and hope for the future. The rebuild has officially begun, and it will be turbulent and trying to say the least. Some feel it was inevitable, and here we are, a franchise and a fanbase that needs to take a very long look in the mirror and prepare for the tumultuous battle ahead.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at this and all of the exciting Week 10 action in the NFL.<\/p>\n

Last week I went 10-5<\/p>\n
