NO lean but see injuries on Wash wait til fri

Interesting inthemoney how a 38-17 beating of the Pats changes minds.  You were all over the Pats against the Saints.
I am a Saints fan and this is where I take Washington with the points.  By kickoff this line will be 10.  NO coming off a sky high victory over NE and will be a little flat.  Wash possibly wins game but I think Saints win 27-20.

good point.  as a Dallas fan I just know that WASH SUCks....as a franchise, ownership group, team...etc.  Wash couldn't suck more.  New Orleans is the BEST TEAM in the nfl.  I'm ridin New Awlins till da damn wheels fall the F OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

HAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAA ARE YOU SERIOUS BUDMAN?  WHO DATS BY 20

ok honestly. think about it, if portis is out, then who is gonna score ? this line is fishy though. i believe in the saints now. early lean new orleans.

no

this is an interesting matchup cause you have one of the best pass offenses in the league against the best pass defense in the league.. i think the redskins havent seen a team like this before and the saints will not have a let down because its a conference game and they are battling for home field advantage.. the saints wont win by 3 scores but i can see them winning by 13 or 14.  they will cover this spread..

Washington Redskins Defensive Coordinator 2008: Greg Williams
New Orleans Defensive Coordinator 2009: Greg Williams


A) If you don't think Greg Williams doesn't know where his old teams holes are defensively you are wrong.

B) Washington may have the best pass defense in the NFL, but think for a second how many big plays and blown coverages they have given up this year. Marshal, Jackson, Manningham, and Johnson are all good examples.

Take the Saints to cover.

Geaux Saints!

Washington mite win...but will absolutely cover. This will be the sucker bet of the day with everyone watching the saints destroy the most overrated defense in football and think their book is gonna hand them free money. Classic monday night winner let down but in this case the winner is undefeated and just beat pats...there is no way the saints cover this game. washington lately... not to much to play for.. so this will be superbowl sunday for them so expect the skins to redline the engine and play the saints to the wire. watched too many nfl games not to sniff this upset or at least an automatic cover coming from miles away. Washington 31 saints 28...Lip

 

I see where Lip2525 is going with this, but i seriously doubt they win.

NO -7.5: the Saints are clearly the dominant team, and if the line reaches 9 or ten, i might have to go with the Skins. My only concern is Brees and company not taking this game seriously, especially after their showcase this past MNF. For now: Score Saints 28-Redskins 18 (2 units)

I'm not ripping u...not by any means.  but for those betting on wash to cover....let's look at wash for what they are. They...SUCK.  Wash got beat by Dallas when Dallas basically HANDED them the game.  Dallas could't have played worse and still by a miracle from the football gods won.  any other team in the NFL (maybe Detroit) would have beat Dallas that particular day...but not sorry azz washington.  and the Wash v Philly game.  Everyone is saying....  "wash didn't give up...blah blah blah".  for those that actually watched the game, Wash almost got blown out in that game too.  the only reason it was that close is that Andy Reid (like a moron) did a onsides kick the 1st play of the game and almost lost his arse for it. 

 

       Let's face it....Wash is a HORRIBLE team on many levels. and New Orleans is arguablly one of the greatest offenses this decade if not all time. For wash to keep this close..New Orleans would have to have the mother of all hangovers, Brees would have to be injured in a major way.....u get it. wash will be down by 14 at some point in the game...maybe the 3rd quarter because of their inept play calling and overall incompetent coaching staff. as a Dallas fan I can honestly say this Wash team couldn't be more pathetic.  Plus hatred4dallas's writeup pretty much seals the deal for me.  I forgot about the Greg William's angle.  bet on Wash at your own peril. 

Keep betting the heavy public chalk and see where that gets you at the end of the year. I know...we all know washington is not a good football team and fully aware of the saints undefeated perfect season ytd but thats why vegas makes a spread. I have many post on this site few on the nfl... last was dallas on turkey day stating people bet last weeks outcome instead of the current week. You talk about what washington has done vs dallas, detroit etc and do not understand that every game carries different characteristics. OF COARSE on paper this looks like 41-10 but this is the NFL and it never goes as advertised. Either the whole world wakes up sunday morning hammers new orleans and collects or the books laugh bc everybody grabbed the lolly pop...we will see..i will wait until the line is prob 11 then go in...Lip

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN BOUT DAWG. FOR HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE, THE SAINT WONT LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND THROW THE SMOKE SCREEN WHEN ON "D". THEY WILL TREAT THIS GAME AS IF THEIR LIVES DEPENDED ON IT. I HAVEN'T TAKEN A LOOK AT MY #S AS FAR AS THE SPREAD GOES BUT W/OUT A DOUBT THE SAINTS WILL WIN. THE SKINS HAVE NOT SEEN A TEAM LIKE THIS CAUSE THERE AIN'T NO OTHER. 

GOOD CALL MY MAN!

 

Skins shot their wad against Philly and the Saints need home field advantage for the Playoffs.

No way they come out flat here.

Sorry, like your way of thinking as the books don't hand out free money, but the Saints win this game.

Do they cover?

Dunno.

WOW! I CANT BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE TALKS ABOUT SKINS WINNING THIS GAME. AS WE SAY HERE ON MAUI,     " NO FUCKEN WAY BRODAH".

LAST WEEK I POSTED THAT THE SAINT'S WILL SCORE:

SAINTS 42

PATRIOTS 24      (18 POINT GAME)

I WAS LAUGHED AT AND ACCUSED OF SMOKIN PAKALOLO(WEED)AND EVEN CRACK. I BELIEVE THE FINAL SCORE WAS :

SAINTS 38

PATRIOTS 17     (21 POINT GAME)

I ALSO POSTED THAT THE SPREAD SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 12.5-13. SO LET ME BREAK IT DOWN FOR THE CLOWNS ON WHY THE SKINS WILL NOT WIN OR COVER THE SPREAD. 3 WORDS TO START WITH "HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE"

THROUGH THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF MATHEMATICS AND A FORMULA THAT HAS BEEN VERY KIND TO ME, I GOT THIS FOR ALL OF YOU TO THINK ABOUT. CHECK THIS OUT:

(this works out just about the same if you do it with the last for games or on the road and home games)

  NO SAINTS  (-9.5)                       WASH FORESKINS

  38     /      17                              24        /          27

  38     /        7                               6         /             7

  28     /       23                              27       /           17

  30     /       20                              17        /           31

=134          67                            = 74                   82

33.5          16.75                         18.5               20.5

ADV OFFENSE  NO SAINTS  + 15

ADV DEFENSE NO SAINTS   +3.75

home field adv    WASH SKINS  +3

       =     NO SAINTS                -15.75

 AT THIS TIME THE SAINTS IS LAYING -9.5 POINTS. I WILL GIVE IT TO WASH FOR HAVING THE #1 RATED DEFENSE BUT ONCE AGAIN HAVE NOT SEEN THE LIKES OF THE BOONDOCK SAINTS. UNFORGIVING WITH THE OFFENSE AND DEFENSE.

DREW MOTHAF#$% BREES    #1 IN PASSING TD'S W/ 27

The Saints, Colts, and Vikings are public teams this year, and if you've been betting against them, you've lost alot of money.

Brees is a perfectionist. The man loses sleep when he misses an easy pass. If there's anyone being laid back in this game, it won't be him.

There are virtually no superstars on this team anymore. They're a bunch of young players, rookies, and free agents who make the most out of their playing time. So, I have a hard time seeing a letdown. If one player fails to play up to their potential, Sean Peyton will bench him, and put in the next guy, and the next guy. My only concern is our band-aid defense. But they show that they can play on par with the offense.

People think after beating the Patriots, this team will have a let down, or sleep walk through the next game. If anything, that game brought them more confidence and respect for their capability. This team has a history of losing, and now has the support of the city, and the entire state of Louisiana behind them. I doubt they would disappoint.

Who Dat!!!

Hey I didn't post on that Pats/Saints thread, but I do remember reading people bicker and clown about someone making bold predictions about the final score -- 808pickyboy.

everyone ragged on this guy's prediction and formula, but whether it was sheer luck or true wit -- I give you props man. Not only did you predict a lower margin of victory, but the Saints coverd +3 over your spread.

Nicely done man. With that said, WHO DAT!!

P.S. - I'm sick of people bandwagoning and using the SAINTS on Madden after these last couple of weeks tho.

Do you think the Saints is going to cover the OVER by themselves?
