Not saying you should always bet with the masses, but that is a short-sighted comment. New Orleans and the Det/NO over were ridiculously square plays, and there was even a Covers article on how Vegas had a strong rooting interest in seeing a low scoring Detroit cover, but in the end both square plays won.
Based on what I've seen, I think the way you beat NO is to outscore them, not slow them down. Green Bay will outscore them next week. I don't see Alex Smith keeping up, especially if the Saints jump out to a lead early.

while i agee that the DET/NO Over was a Square play, by no means was NO -10.5 a blatant square play (im not suggesting there wasnt more money on NO, it just wasnt a 70%+ Public Play).... Detroit has proven to be a public favorite n they just scored a shitload of points the week before against GB, i do not think NO was as Public a Play as they will be thiswk... SF was already a team that a lot of the Public Faded Heavily bc of them sucking lastyr and their 1970s style of run the ball and play ferocious defense and NO is a HUGE Public Play.... id imagine 75% of the public is ALL OVER N'awlens thiswk.... my play is still undecided and im genuinely TORN.... as of right now, im leaning Saints.... but not by much

I cannot and will not put my hard earned money on Alex Smith especially considering they were 6-10 last year.

Alex Smith has a better QB rating and better TD/Int ratio in Candlestick than does Brees on real grass.

Although the Saints offense is spectacular, you have to be worried about how they play on the road in this game. The niners' game plan I think everyone knows. Stop the run, get after Brees once that has been accomplished, and stick to running the ball offensively. The buzz around the Saints has kinda distorted how solid and well-rounded the 49ers actually are. I think your Niners play is the smart one because of their defense, rest, it's at home, and the Saints are not as sharp on grass and away.....Good luck my friend I'm rolling with the niners but not bettin the farm on it!!!.....

I'm confused. You're going with a Snake Eyes hunch here. Why not pick the more probable outcome?

I think what people are overlooking is that the saints defense is far from good, get them on the road and a niners offense who isn't great, but can move the ball, they just cannot score in the red zone, but they been practicing with the first string defense about that and have looked better. I think the niners will move the ball a lot better than people think. Niners 27, saints 20

Playing all the dogs this week Bets and can't pass up this home pup on a field surface that favors defense. I for one do not see Saints putting up 30+ here mainly because SanFrans front 7 is as good as it gets and will limit both Graham and Sproles. Just look at Brees on the road this year and it's obvious they are a completely different team away...now they take to the road and face a very well coached and rested 9ers team w/ one of the best D's in NFL on a slow track outdoors that can slow the game down and limit Saints possessions forcing them to navigate long fields simply because they are the best kicking team in the league and play great defense. Brees is a very good QB that is going to look average and have most scratching their heads Saturday, Alex Smith is a very average QB at best that they ask not to manage the game making few mistakes and just allow their D and specials to win games for them. Field position dominated by 9ers is the difference where they can win this scoring less than 30. GL!

You can start by realizing the Saints don't run a spread offense. They may come out in 4 or 5 wide every now and then, but they mostly make good use of their tight ends and RBs. This is why their running game is ranked 6th with 160+ yards in 4 straight games. They use just as many power (FB/2TE) sets as they use 4/5 wides. That offense is physical and can match the size and speed of the SF defense easily. Start with that.
For me, it comes down to SF only having a chance if they force 2+ turnovers and the Saints add on about 5+ penalties to their own drives or aid SF drives. History says yes, SF will because the Saints have been prone to these things on the road.
However, I say no. I see a focused team that's been there, done that. I see SF as the one with the penalties and TOs.

Wrong. Scored 34 @Green Bay and knocking on the door as time expired. Also had 503 yards of offense @Jacksonville (6th ranked defense, 49ers ranked 4th).
