There were rumors this past offseason that New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton would be coaching another National Football League team this year.

NEW YORK: The Giants beat the Cowboys 20-19 as a 1-point underdog last Sunday in Dallas while the under 47.5 cashed for bettors.
Break out the rain gear, the Saints and Giants are expected to get some rain during the game Sunday, and that could be a game changer for either side. That said – it sure hasn’t hurt. The last time they went there in 2012, the Giants crushed them 52-27. The Saints were their usual mediocre selves on defense, as New Orleans failed to register a sack, interception or fumble the entire game, while allowing 486 yards of total offense, the second highest total coming out of week 1, and one has to wonder if they’re in for another rough outing when the Saints head to the Meadowlands on Sunday. Eli Manning totaled 350 yards and 6 touchdowns in last years game against the Saints. Breaux, who started 16 games in his first season and led the Saints with three interceptions, will be out at least six weeks. They’ll be without their best cover man in Delvin Breaux, who broke his fibula and had surgery this week to fix the fracture. It was just back and forth. So them getting used to it and one of the reasons we are outside today, it’s a little bit warmer but none the less we had some rain when we came out here and the balls were wet. All 11 on defense, to help the cornerback play, we need to be better at rushing the passer. I think for the early part, even midway through, into the third quarter, before the fourth quarter last week, we did a lot of those things and yet, not well enough to finish. LINE: Giants -4.5. O/U: 52.5ABOUT THE SAINTS (0-1): While Cooks and Snead garnered the majority of the attention, tight end Coby Fleener was limited to just one catch for four yards in his debut despite playing on 56 of the team’s 69 offensive snaps. Ingram Sr. played wide receiver for six seasons, including the Super Bowl XXV victory in which he made five receptions for 74 yards.
Last week, the Saints dropped a 35-34 home game to the Oakland Raiders. That was a very hot take that I’m going to cool off.

That experience paid off when he convinced Greg Schiano to give him a shot at Rutgers, and then again when he joined the Saints and became their director of college scouting.
