Saints -4.5                                     over 54.5

Wheels beginning to come off in Oaktown. Defense giving up a ton of points and with Drew riding into town I don't see any relief in sight. Raiders will score some points but I don't think it will be enough. Non-conference favorites do well ats vs the Raiders when the Silver & Black are coming off a su & ats loss.

Saints - Over

OVER and OVER and OVER again  this game won't be a drag! 

Palmer just isnt the same, he can throw but incosistently...Mcfadden is out...while Brees will be doing his thing against a bad pass D.

Saints cover

NEW ORLEANS  - 4.5

I like your contrarian nature.  But without McFadden and Goodson, it would seem that the Raiders may not have the necessary tools to exploit the Saints' weaknesses.  If this game turns into a shootout, it would seem like 4.5 is a reasonable number for the Saints to cover. 

I would like to take the Raiders as a public fade, but I would like to hear why you like them.

Saints 34 Oakland 20 

Raiders- 222

If this game does turn into a shootout, I'd rather have a cannon

than a bumbling, stumbling, confused pea-shooter

Although Oakland is not a stronger play for me on Sunday, I feel Palmer will have a good game at home.  The Saints don't play well on the road and traveling to the west coast might be another small factor.  Also, like you, I would like to take the Raiders as a public fade.  Small wager.

I did well in college today (Saturday)....4-2 (66.6%) and last week in NFL....5-1 (83.3%).

YTD: 52-38-1 (57.8%)  Not quite as good as many of the cappers posting on this site....but the main thing is I'm in the plus!

GL to all!!     

Saints will be the sinners this match-up!

 I don't care how much Black the Raiders be rockin..............they might as well break out their Breast Cancer Awareness Pink uni's from last month!

'Nawlins All Day !!!!!

Who dat heatin up right now?!!

One thing I've learned from watching Drew Brees over the years is that he knows it takes a good defense just as much as it takes a good offense to win a game. Drew Brees is so good of a QB he knows going into the game if his defense will not be able to prevail if they have to win the game for the team. So what does Drew do, outscore you. Perfect exmaple: look @ week 7 when they played TB. That's when the defense was at its worst. Vilma's first official game back, was a minor factor, but there was no reason they should win game. But because of a rocket arm QB who puts up atleast 3 td's a game, refused to scoring, the Saints won. This will be a recurring cycle today in the bay. Look for a high scoring game plan(from the Saints atleast) and if both defenses play horrible, which is whats expected, then you gonna have to count on the best offense.
