Minnesota at New Orleans (10/06/2008)

Exactly why I think you just take the OVER and leave the side alone.

No need to take the half. There will be NO DEFENSE in this game. They will continue to score in the second half. Take the game OVER so if the offenses get off to a slow start you still got action in the second half. Trust me there will be scoring all 4 qtrs.

Thanks Ray,

9ers are looking more and more like a clusterfuck in progress...so who cares that NO smashed them...Lance Moore???  Maybe ill be eating my Moore words, but i think this is the standard incorrect spread for a popular home team favorite who killed someone last week.  Buy low sell high. 

My book has Minn +3.5 (-130)!  Maybe Ill buy a .5 and get it at (-150)

I thought everyone was on NO.  Glad i got it in early.  Why arent they changing the line?  Now im getting nervous that the books are confident NO wins by 4. 

Anyone's thoughts on this are welcome.

Ok people, Here is my prediction... I predict the VIKINGS cover And the Game Stays UNDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just ask Artie how it was capping against a retard and a chicken! LOL

 

Feel that this game goes NO and over or MIN and under. I'll roll with MINN & the under. With McKinnie back think MIN will be able to control the ball not to mention Brees sometimes doesn't play well on MNF and injuries on D. That o/u seems high despite it being MNF.

My local just gave me the final lines on this one and I'm starting to have some withdrawls

That -1.5 in the 1st half is starting to tempt me. I do like the Saints in the 1st half. I feel that Brees has more weapons to turn to and the Saints run defense has stepped up as of late. What's tempting me is that if the Vikes will refer to only AP as their choice of weapon the Vikes will be in for a long night. Plus the Saints are at home.

 Oh Lord please do not lead me into temptation.....

Saints at the half -1.5

Sure is tempting to me

Maybe just a small play??? or a mid size?

Nah! I'll stay away......I think

This game boils down to which team can disrupt the other team's offense.  The answer is neither.  Minnesota will ram a healthy dose of the rush down the Saints' throats and the Saints will return in kind with the pass.  In a situation such as this I am dying to take the dog with 70% public on the fav.  But I like NO here for the simple fact that if they find themselves on the short end of things Brees can manufacture a scoring drive in under a minute.  Rush heavy teams might break for long runs a couple of times, but for the most part they have to grind it out.  Bottom line is that the Saints can score faster than Minn when the chips are down.  Either way I like the over, but I think NO covers here at home in the dome with a rowdy crowd for MNF.

My final Pick....

 

Saints ML......

1, home, 2 banged up minn receivers, 3 drew brees, 4 reggie bush, 5 gus frodo, 6 gus frodo, 7 gus frodo, 8 gus frodo....

OVER....

1, adrian peterson 2, adrian peterson, 3 adrian peterson, 4 adrian peterson, 5 monday night football over trend (4 for 4)

hey bigdaddy, where is the guy who was talking so bad about hawaii. congrats on the win. this game scares me its hard to beat the saints at home on monday night. Ask the falcons when they had Vick and were supposed to run over the saints that monday night.

that funny you say that because that's the last game that sticks in my head when thinking about NO at home primetime....

 

So you think Vegas is giving money away? If so, then bet the house. I doubt you would bet a dime or more on this line in favor of the Saints.

Or could it be Vegas wants every action on the Saints and you should bet the Vikings. Your comment is weak and the opposite can be said just as easy.
