New Orleans is known for a lot of things. Halloween, especially brings out the spooky Who Dats around town. Add that in with the Seattle Seahawks, and you’ve got a plethora of spooky possibilities on Sunday. Witch team will win? Whodatdish has the answer…

Before we take a look at the numbers let’s set the stage. The Saints have dropped three in a row to the Seattle Seahawks. Two of them were in the playoffs. But now, finally the Saints will play the Seahawks in the Mercedes Benz Superdome in front of a very raucous bloodcurdling screaming home crowd.

Saints fans are known for dressing up for every game no doubt. Halloween though, the fans will no doubt be stepping up their game. Surely, Who Dat Nation has waited a very long time for this treat. The question is what costume will the Saints be wearing? At times the Saints have looked like a werewolf and other times like a burned out zombie.

For one thing, there is one stat that should scare the Black and Gold. The Saints have allowed 195 points this season. In contrast, the Seahawks well, they have been scary good with only allowing a mere 84 points this season. And yes, both teams have have played four games. One doesn’t have to be a mathematician to figure out how big a deficit that is.

This matchup is simply a pumpkin against a vampire. There is always hope for one game of course. With the wizard Drew Brees behind center, the Saints will always have a chance to perform some magical feat. Moreover, they will need every bit of it and more. There’s also another little story line that will be brought up in this game. Jimmy Graham will come back in in his Seahawk costume.

This will the first time he’ll face the Saints in the dome, and I’m sure the ghouls and goblins in the crowd will let him know, that he’s not welcomed. I wish I had some good news for Who Dat Nation, but this will we unfortunately “A Nightmare on Poydras Street.”

Final score: Seattle 27 Saints 13
