The Saints opened at -1. It's now up to -3 in most places. -3.5 on SI's sportsbook.

There's a reason. The Rams have only won three games this season and they just lost their starting LT, RG, and their top offensive weapon last week alone. They have more players (12) on IR than we have (11). Even prior to these hits to their offense they had scored 74 points fewer than the Saints, albeit in one less game, averaging the 29th fewest in the league thus far.

But, most importantly, the Saints are at home. That usually comes with a three point cushion in the odds. So, basically, the game is a pick 'em right now.

So now you're saying it isn't so hard to believe. But, yes, pretty obvious.

Means your reasons are pitiful and unworthy. Just like your predictions of undefeated seasons

So you are saying that losing three offensive starters including their best weapon doesn't affect the perception of the Saints' chances of winning? "Pitiful and unworthy" reasons for the odds moving?

Um, Okay.

Sorry. Then I totally missed what you are calling "pitiful and unworthy". Please explain to this unfortunate soul.
