Tough spot for the Saints here. Minnesots always plays them tough.

Peterson is likely to go off here against a weak run D and McKinnie is finally back from his 4 game suspension, don't underestimate the impact of having your actual starting LT. Minny will allow a lot of passing yards, but the running game will be stuffed and Brees tends to throw a couples picks when he has to throw over 40 times.  I think a Minny team that bettors are down on gets it here.

Taking the Norsemen! Always take a team that is 1-3 team coming off a loss playing an opponent coming off a win especially if the spread indicates that the team is not outclassed which in this case is true with a spread of 3 for the favorite.
VIKINGS BIG!

Agree with you Watch. Bad spot for the Saints. Minny plays them tough all the years.
On the flip side, Saints getting healthier, Duece is back and looked great on Sunday.
Let's hope Saints squeeze out a victory.

The Vikings do not have reliable receivers, Saints will try to stop the run and make Gus Ferotte throw the ball for the win.
With Duece back, the saints have another option in the back field. Wear out the Vikings front 4 with Duece and then give'm some R. Bush on the screen plays. Make them run! Keep them on there heals!
 
Saints should win by 6.

As of this evening, 88% of bettors are on the Saints train, and the line has gone up to the Saints -3.5 up from an opening of -3. However, with side numbers like that I have strengthened my thought process to take the Vikings while their stock is low. I think that AP will have one of those memorable nights in this one! i love it when my wager is of the minority but this is ridiculous.

Another hit for the Saints, Sedrick Ellis is out 2-4weeks. Who's going to playdefense for this team! I'm getting worried now.
MInnesota will run wild on this Saints defense.
Actually, look at the running backs they have to play against for the next 3, Adrian Peterson, Darren McFadden, LaDainian Tomlinson are on tap for this month.

This is a tough call. Brees is HOT! But the Saints D is NOT! But if they can gang up on AP, then Frerotte can't beat them. Saints home for the second week in a row and Viks on the road for the second week in a row. Saints -3 looks good, but Minny +3.5 does too. Enjoy. GL

The Vikings D has been garbage this year and they have no QB so if they run all over and score 17-20 pts the Saints scored  27-30
SAINTS again

Where is the guy telling me the niners were going to beat the saints..

I really don't think NO scores high 20's here.  Minny's Run D has been one of the best in NFL and that helps the secondary also.  I think this game is gonna be a close game and Feeling the UNDER for some reason

Not pulling the trigger yet

Minn cannot score.  Minn definitely cannot score as many as the Saints will score on them.

Saints 1st half, Saints game.

Every week in the Minn game threads the same thing gets said over and over again Adrian this Adrian that.  Minn has no QB and no WR and the Minn backers will be dissapointed again I think.

This line seems low. Basically a pick if you go with the theory that the home team is a 3 point favorite. Am I missing something?? Seems like the line should be at least Saints - 6.
