2013 Week 13 Preview, Power Rankings, and Playoff Picture
Posted on September 27, 2013 at 01:08 PM.
For the first time since the famous "Beast Quake" in Seattle, the New Orleans Saints travel to Seattle to face the Seahawks. The two teams are now in different places than their fateful January night of two years ago, with the Seahawks dominant, and the Saints fighting for their playoff lives. This should be a good one Monday Night.
| Matchup Preview *|* December 2, 2013 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| New Orleans Saints (4-7, Away) | Seattle Seahawks (11-0, Home) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Players to Watch:
Offense:
Drew Brees - QB: The year older Brees is still an elite passer in this league. It will be a test of how far the Hawks defense has come that has struggled this season to stop teams moving the ball.
Defense:
Jonathan Vilma - MLB: The veteran is now two years removed from the bounty gate scandal, but even though he's a step slower, he still is the anchor for this Saints defense
Prediction: The Seahawks clinch a playoff spot with a win, while the Saints are fighting for their playoff lives needing to win out to have any chance. This game will be much like the playoff match-up two years ago, and the result should be close to the same.
