    FPI's must-watch games in Week 10: Bills vs. Saints

     
     
     

    5. New Orleans Saints at Buffalo Bills (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, Fox)

    Matchup quality: 60 out of 100
    FPI win projection: Saints, 56 percent
    FPI playoff leverage: Bills, 22 percent; Saints, 11 percent
    It's not as if the Saints suddenly have the best defense in football. It's just that when Drew Brees is your quarterback, you basically just need to not have one of the worst defenses in football. And the Saints have most certainly accomplished that.
    The Saints rank 15th in defensive efficiency so far this season, good enough to help Brees and the powerful offense (third in efficiency) earn six straight wins.
    FPI hadn't really bought the Bills as a quality team even before their loss to the Jets last week, and now the model ranks Buffalo as the 24th-best team in the NFL. That's why the Saints -- whom FPI has as the seventh-best team going forward and 4.7 points per game over an average NFL team -- are favorites in Buffalo even though the Bills have a winning record.

    I hate facts.

    I'd package both 2018 1sts and our 2019 1st to land him.

    Willing to throw caution to the wind are we? That is a massive gamble. I like Luck and am behind the acquisition as he would be far superior in Rico's WC-oriented offence than Tyrod, who I still like as a QB. However, 3 firsts for damaged goods is not part of "the process " as we have seen to date. I would, however, consider 2 firsts, one in each of the 2018 and 2019 drafts. It would probably take Tyrod too, which would make sense as it would show that the team commitment to him ends at the conclusion of this season.
