Very different from the last match-up - two very injured teams coming off lacklustre seasons are competing for pride more than anything ...
SAINTS vs. EAGLES
no camera this week so lucky for you - no visible antics.
oh those sneaky Eagles - I knew I was a true fan last year when I saw them down here during the regualr season and their fans walking around and i thought to myself 'you are taking your life in your hands wearing that eagles shirt sonny!'
meantime the Saints look set to win against them yet again this week! Let's be serious - the Eagles didn't win against the Cowboys last week - the Cowboys lost that game. And the current Eagles just don't have it in them to beat us where we are at either.
Side note - remember how I said last week that the Saints went through 2 seasons where they won 9 games in the last two minutes ... the brooks years ... well, the Eagles lose their games in the last two minutes this season.
Not even sure we will even be in suspense then ... Saints win.
Looking at the chart ... SAINTS WIN! Astrologically one of the strongest three games of sixteen this week ... unfortunately for us it looks like the Giants and the Vikings will win this week too ...

Saints vs. Cardinals
Kurt Warner has done well to take over from Matt Leinart and make the Cards contenders in their conference for a wild card slot ...
This game is a keen match-up of smart quarterbacks and two struggling defenses ...
you know who i think is going to win ....

LATE START ...
recast the chart for the late start and there are no major changes .. just a slightly better chance for the saints ... now that victory angle happens a little earlier and also, the shadow of atlanta's ruling planet falls neatly under saint's control ...
Saints vs. Falcons
Despite my boundless enthusiasm for the Saints I don't have the time to make a webcast this week ...
My read on the game is that we are lucky that the Falcons suck ... in fact they give up something like 30 points a game. Tonight they come onto the field eclipsed by news of their fallen star QB Michael Vick's sentence, and with their 3rd string QB. (Their QB Redman was selling insurance last year ... this will be his first actual start since 2002. My only real softspot for him is that we have the same birthday, 7-7, though his is in 1977!) They will be looking to have Norwood, RB, carry the load so I am glad that we have a great defensive line and are not looking too hard at stopping deep plays.
For the Saints, big plays will probably feature in this game though I doubt they will be intentional given the performance against the Bucs. Instead I expect that the Saints will play as cautiously as they need to, then the glaring holes in the Atlanta defense will give Brees the delicious option of going deep down field with a couple of surprises out of the WR's.
As for Reggie being out - better this year than next! I love Reggie and believe that he is superhuman - quite able to do things that a human being almost shouldn't be able to do ... still, he does not need the work load poured on him by Deuce's increasingly painful absence.
Fortunately one player does not a team make - Brady would not be half as dazzling without Moss AND Welker AND Stallworth. And that's only offense.
At this stage of our spluttering season the team might be able to capitalize on the changed dynamics - sometimes when your back is really against the wall you find out who you are. I have little doubt that there are players on our team who have been craving the chance to shine ... Moore, Johnson, Patten ... and that may be the best effect of a shift in personnel.
I am looking forward to seeing the RB's including Branch, Stecker and my favorite, Pierre Thomas.
As for the astrology of the game, again, one of those charts where I am calling it for the Saints because it's them. A late angle indicating victory to the favorite does appear ... the question is, will it be too late?
Astrologically it's a break-out game for Pierre Thomas - that may simply indicate that he is getting attention because Reggie isn't there. A quick look at their charts reveals that Colston might be particularly imaginative tonight - good or bad i can't say - that Devery Henderson will probably score and that Mike McKenzie and Billy Miller will make important contributions.
So good luck to the Saints ... see you next week.

Saints vs. Bucs
this time the Bucs are going to have to get a sense of humor ...
might start out looking good for them but the Saints will triumph!

Saints vs. Panthers
Well the Panthers beat us last time but it ain't the same game today ...
Watch out for some great play from Will Smith ...

Saints vs. Texans
Can't even believe that this game is a question - seems like the Saints should walk over the young Texans but they may have to work to get that victory ...
Saints vs. Rams
They are big on sheep where I am from (new zealand) ... but not where I live now (new orleans)! Still, the Rams can't be underestimated ... even with Jim Haslett working for them now ...
SAINTS vs. JAGUARS
oh delicioso ...
looks to be a great game for Saints fans ... and I do talk some general league astrology - you can catch my full astrological forecast for all the games at

Saints vs. 49ers
RICE A RONI?! Are they kidding ... food doesn't come in a box, not the way we do it down here ...
Saints vs. Falcons
Joe Horn is visiting ... let's see what we can do with him and those Dirty Birds and their fledgling QB Leftwich - SACK SACK SACK, order of the day, and maybe some trick plays ...
SAINTS vs. SEAHAWKS
Finally, got the camera back and had something to say about those fans who put bags on their heads ...
SAINTS vs. PANTHERS
It's a lot easier to trash talk Carolina with our home boy Jake Delhomme sitting on the sidelines. Admittedly David Carr is one of the handsomest QB's in the league but that ain't going to save the Panthers today.
Panthers need to concentrate on their passing game but will undoubtedly continue to slop around trying to establish a run. And then there was CHARLES GRANT!
Keep star WR Steve Smith doing nothing and the defensive hero Julius Peppers not earning his keep ...
Saints have always done better with something to fight for and the dreadful shake-up that was losing Deuce for the season may provide that impetus. I would like to see me some of the #23 PIERRE THOMAS showing us exactly why it was that Antonio Pittman was cut and he got the job.
Also, expect some dazzling coaching from PAYTON since this is a great situation for his fine mind to be in. BUSH has to get the ball more often, and BREES can not be broken by this run of games ... I believe that he is about to pull out ... and we are going to have to see some big play passing ... I can feel COLSTON and HENDERSON getting warmed up now ...
Maybe that hunger in the crowd will replicate some of the energy from last year that the Saints have been struggling to grab ...
I would talk more about the Panthers but if you watch the Chargers and the Patriots, there is one distinct difference ... the Chargers are too responsive to the opponent, the Patriots know that it is their game.
That's where we need to stay - we are AT HOME IN THE DOME! David Carr is so sackable ... and the SAINTS are hungry ... Let's kick some Panther ass ...
SAINTS WIN!

SAINTS vs. TITANS
I did better than the 'professionals' on football astrology this week ... 5-1 for the picks I posted and 10-3 for the total games I cast.
And for the Saints game tonight I have totally mixed feelings ... the Titans could look pretty and the Saints may not have the focus they desire, especially with that recent history behind them ...
Still, I AM BIASED and can see some good things in the chart for the Saints too - check out my take ...

SAINTS vs. BUCS
Oh sweet ememies of yesteryear ... stayed tuned for Jon Gruden doing his best Sean Payton impersonation ... Jeff Garcia showing us again why he's always the bridesmaid, never the bride ...
SAINTS at the COLTS
Two dazzling Quarterbacks, two dynamite offenses, two well matched defenses ...
what say you - a set up for the next Superbowl?

SAINTS vs. DOLPHINS
If the Fins make like the Saints and don't play their starters ... it's going to be a free-for-all. If they play their first string against our second and third .... then they stand a chance ....
Trent Green (Fins new QB) can't take too many more knocks to the head ... maybe the Fins will make like the Saints and sit out their starters but damn, Trent Green needs the practice ...
But this is the last week of goofing around ... pre-season loafing is over ... next week we'll all be more serious ... even I am getting a fancy new Saints backdrop, a haircut and coming back at you with my legitimate predictions ... !

SAINTS vs. CHIEFS
More preseason madness as our first string make some damning yards on the kc defense ....
Watch out for our wide recievers - Meachem (17), Copper (18), Patten (81) and that dazzler Lance Moore (16).
Also check out Simmons (51) taking over for Simoneau (53) this week ... Jason Craft (21) as cornerback while ex-Colt Jason David (42) has a baby ... and Fred Thomas (22) plays nickelback.
On their team, watch for Kennison, LSU grad and their veteran WR #87 and their flashy new LSU grad WR Dwayne Bowe, #82.
Also, remember Kyle Turley? Was their unsuccessful LT, wants to move back to RT but may not even be up for the starters job ...

SAINTS kill BILLS?
pre-season = watching the players, not the points
NEXT WEEK ....
