Saints' buses get pelted with eggs in Atlanta

The rivalry between the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons heated up a bit when the team's chartered buses from the Atlanta airport were egged.

NOLA.com's Jeff Duncan had this report, which said Atlanta airport workers pelted eggs at New Orleans' chartered buses as they boarded them yesterday The report shows reaction from several Saints players on Twitter, most of whom seemed to get a kick out of it.

Atlanta has held steady as a 3.5-point favorite the past couple of days at most sportsbooks for tonight's game. The total is at 55.5.

As long as there was no threat of physical violence I see this as good natured fan interaction. Going on the road should never be a comfortable situation, good to see the Falcon fans showing support!

MLB: Milwaukee vs. St. Louis
Pick:
St. Louis
Start:
May 18, 2013 - 7:15 PM
Capper:
Will Rogers
Offered at:
5dimes @ -170 St. Louis
Analysis:

I've cashed the Cardinals multiple times earlier in the week as a free play winner and think Saturday happens to be a good time to jump on them again as they host the Milwaukee Brewers. They took Friday's opener, 7-6, which was their 13th win in 16 games.  Milwaukee is going the other way right now, losing 13 of 15.  This series appears to be a big mismatch.  St. Louis is now 7-1 vs. Milwaukee this year.

Here are my keys to the game:

1.  Lance Lynn - I have to start here. He's 6-1 in his eight starts with a 2.88 ERA.  At home, he's 4-0 with a 2.00 ERA. Since his 1st start of the year, he's allowed more than three runs only one time.  Needless to say, I don't think Brewers starter Marco Estrada will be much match for him. Estrada has an 8.22 ERA his last three starts, though he did win his last.

2.  Hitting woes - The bottom four hitters in Milwaukee's lineup showed why they are hitting higher in the order Friday night, going a combined 0 for 15 Friday.  Heading into yesterday, the Brewers were averaging just 3.3 runs per game on the road.

3. X-Factor - The Cardinals seem to have solved their previous bullpen woes somewhat with Edward Mujica having saved all 12 games in 12 opportunities. 

Selection: The play is on the St. Louis Cardinals (1*).
