The New Orleans Saints played the Atlanta Falcons in early November and the offense was shut down. They were only able to muster up nine points, which was shocking considering how bad the Falcons' defense had been heading into that game.

The Saints' offense gets another chance on Thursday night to light up the Falcons' defense. Will it be different this time?

Here are three bold predictions for Drew Brees and the Saints offense.

3. Alvin Kamara has 150 all-purpose yards

Alvin Kamara hasn't been as productive since returning from a knee and ankle injury that caused him to miss the game against the Arizona Cardinals. In the teams last game against the Carolina Panthers, he rushed for 54 yards and had 48 receiving yards.

Those stats are fine, but he hasn't looked as explosive and Latavius Murray has been taking some of the carries. In this game, the Saints are going to want to get Kamara going and get him rolling as the Saints get closer to playoff time.

This should be a game where Kamara gets the majority of the snaps and he should finish with at least 150 all-purpose yards.

2. Drew Brees throws three touchdowns

When the Saints played against the Falcons a couple of weeks ago, Brees didn't find the end zone, but that won't be the case in this one.

Last week, the Falcons' defense got back to their old ways and let Jameis Winston throw all the over field. He finished the game passing for 313 yards and two touchdowns.

Brees is coming off of a win against the Carolina Panthers where he threw for 311 yards and three touchdowns. The Saints' offense wants to make a statement in this game and Brees is going to be slinging it everywhere. Look for him to finish with at least three touchdowns. Don' be shocked if this is one of those games where he finishes with four or five.

1. Offense puts up at least 40 points

The Saints haven't scored more than 36 points in a game this season, but that will change on Thursday. The Falcons are giving up 27 points per game, which is 28th in the NFL. In the Falcons' last game, they let the Buccaneers put up 35 points, and it's not going to get better this week.

With Brees, Kamara, and Michael Thomas having a big week, it's going to mean plenty of points scored for the Saints. Look for them to put up at least 40 points in this game.
