Hoping the road is friendlier to them than the Superdome, the New Orleans Saints are in East Rutherford Sunday to take on the New York Giants. New York was installed as a slim 1.5-point favorite. Kickoff is set for Noon on Fox.
Weather, Cool & a little Breezy

The cool front that blasted its way through New Orleans has done the same in New Jersey, leaving behind cool weather and sunshine in East Rutherford. Unlike any Friday night games in New Orleans, such as the one at Tulane where the winds approached 40-miles per hour, everything has calmed down in Jersey.
