Note: This is the official Pats Pulpit game thread for the New Orleans Saints vs. San Diego Chargers week five Sunday Night Football game.

The New Orleans Saints will host the San Diego Chargers tonight in an absolute must-win game. Saints quarterback Drew Brees will also have the opportunity to beat Johnny Unitas' record of throwing a touchdown pass in 47 straight games. Alec Shane and Greg Knopping make their picks:

Alec: There's just no way the Saints drop to 0-5 - right? Right? Saints 30, Chargers 20

Greg: The Saints are at home, and they're in desperate need of a win. The Chargers are going to be a tough challenge, and I think this one will be close, with the Saints eventually getting the victory they need. Saints 34, Chargers 27
