There's a reason for the line being the way it is. Oddsmakers arent as stupid as you might think...

Pats win this one by double digits at home

Sorry Boston, gonna have to hope its a Red Sox year for you to get a winner in town.

I like this logic , plus NE loss last week was due to non veteran guys being out there , NE Defense is still a mid pack D , otherwise they would have been held the bengles offense. Pats have gotten back Amandola , but he wasnt impressive last week. Gronk is supposed to play (maybe too soon ?) - but after 4 surgerys how effective and rusty will he be?

Brees' stats are so much better then Brady this year. Brees is a top 3 QB ! New O has so many ways to hit you with the WR core and Jimmy Graham cathes everything ! not to mention Sproles or Pierre Thomas can get ya. Sean Payton is back and it shows with a record of 0 losses. Throw in an improved Saints D and i think you got a win !

SAINTS +1

Add to that Gronk is considered unlikely to play at this point, which means issues converting for TD's in the red zone. Saints have many more weapons on the offensive side of things, scoring 26.8 PPG to the Patriots 19.

While I rarely go against the Pats at home, the Saints also hold a 7-1 ATS record versus the Pats in their last 8 matchups...

Good luck to you regardless, I'll be on the other side of the fence with this one, Saints +1 all day long.

When I did the write-up there were reports that Gronk was probable. Maybe it's that damn Belichick playing mind games with the injury report?

I agree the Pats are lucky to be 4-1. I'm just not sold on the Saints defense yet. They were one of the worst defenses in NFL history last year and aside from Atlanta, they haven't really been tested. The Bears moved the ball on them pretty well last week...they just made some silly mistakes that cost them (a fumble and a crucial offsides penalty). It's tough to win on the road in the NFL, especially in a back-to-back setting.

If the Saints lost last week I would probably stay away. I just think Sean Payton and his team will be perfectly happy going into the bye week at 5-1, especially with an easy bounce-back game vs Buffalo at the Superdome in week 8.

NE has a better defense and very rarely lose at home, but yeah their offense is pathetic right now. Line should be Saints -3 imo, but I still have to pick my Patriots.. I'm a glutton for punishment....

It's hard to bet that NE will lose 2 in a row in a home game.I just don't think that they have enough offensive personnel to score with the saints.I like N.O.

What Brady does is irrelavent without a "team" as was evident last week....

Saints march!!!!!!!

Guys in the Pats locker room angry because Gronk is out again... Almost like they are admitting they need some help on offense. Have NEVER heard comments like this on that team. Saints for a small play

You're on a roll Holt. Like the under in this one. Can't bet against my Pats but see a lot of 3rd and outs. Is there a prop for most punts in a game?

I'm pretty amazed with myself for dropping both New Orleans and New York Jets from my picks and replacing with SF and the over on SF! Saved from losing a lot of COWS!
