Saints Vs Browns Week 11 Preview

SAINTS WEEK 11 PREVIEW

  The losing streak is over! Darren Rizzi stepped up in a big way as the interim coach last week. This team feels like they have life again. If Rizzi’s special teams group was an indicator, he brings the energy every week and it shows in how his group plays. The players have made it obvious how much they enjoy playing for Rizzi. Some of the things he spoke about bringing to this team were a bit alarming to have not had certain procedures in place before he took over. However, we are here now and this team should look very different moving forward.


        THIS WEEK’S MATCHUP:

  This week the Saints are hosting the Cleveland Browns. This series has a record of 13-6 in favor of the Browns. The Saints have won the last two meeting and look to make that 3 in a row this week. Jameis Winston makes his return to the Dome for the first time since leaving the team. He is the Brown’s starter today so look for him to bring the energy and make this a good game.


        YOUR SAINTS:

  The Saints handled business last week against the Falcons. The team was outplayed in some categories but still pulled off the victory. The Saints totaled 365 yards last game which is a good total yardage to be at if they can average that from here on out. Only 3 trips to the Redzone and going 1-3 will not translate to many victories. Capitalizing in the Redzone is something this team has struggled with as of late. The defense is still doing what they do best, forcing takeaways. The Brown’s offensive line has given up the most sacks so far this season. Look for the Saints defensive line to be in the backfield often.

  Valdez-Scantling had a big game last week. Giving Carr a reliable target who can go up and get the ball should help moving forward. Kamara is on pace for the most touches and most yards of his career so far. Erik McCoy should be back this week so our offensive line should hold up a little longer in protection to have more time to move the ball downfield.


        INJURY REPORT:

  Lucas Patrick and Jamaal Williams are listed as out. Multiple guys are listed as questionable but the list has gotten significantly shorter in recent weeks!



        MY PREDICTION:

  I think the Saints will continue to ride the hype of Rizzi as our coach. The energy will be high with Winston back in the building. I predict the Saints to win with a score of 24-17. Geaux Saints!!!

When: Saturday, September 13th, 2025, 6:30 PM Where: The Real Death Valley, Baton Rouge, LA Channel: ABC Spread: LSU -7.5 O/U: 46.5 This will be the 72nd time these schools meet up in this storied rivalry. This game always has a story, a moment to remember, so be ready, football fans! Florida Gators The Gators enter this contest with a record of 1-1. Florida opened up the season with a 55-0 win over Long Island University, but the Gators dropped a game last week to a talented South Florida team. This Gator offense is led by quarterback DJ Lagway. LSU fans remember Lagway all too well from last season. On the season, Lagway is 38/51, with 342 passing yards and 4 TDs. Jadan Baugh is the leader in the backfield. The leading pass catchers on this team are Vernell Brown III, Eugene Wilson III, and Hayden Hansen. The Gator defense is a solid unit. Jaden Robinson and Myles Graham are the leading linebackers. Tyreak Sapp is the leader on the defensive line. LSU Tigers The Tigers are coming off of a "disappointing" victory against Louisiana Tech. The Tigers have a chance to bury the Gators' dreams for the season in this game. This game being in Death Valley helps out the Tigers tremendously. The Tigers better be ready to get on the Gators early and often because this is an upset Gator team with a big upset on the mind. KEYS TO THE GAME - Can the Tigers establish a running game? The leaders on this team need to get up. - Will the Tigers' defense keep up the red-hot start to the season? - Will Braelin Moore be back on the field? This is a mad Florida team who would love to upset the Tigers in this rivalry. Can the Tigers contain DJ Lagway? Fun Fact: Florida running back coach Jabar Juluke was born in New Orleans. He was the running back coach at LSU in 2016. Thank you for checking out my article. Follow me on X (the artist formerly known as Twitter) @eazytro
