The game is at Carolina.

They lost a nail biter 18-21 to the Bucs at Tampa three weeks ago and lost 30-33 to the Packers last week.

I agree that Carolina could win. I would give them a 1 in 3 chance. The Bucs have more to play for, but for Carolina it could be a revenge game with the pick not a factor. I would rate our matchup with the Falcons at 50-50. So overall we have a 1 in 6 chance to win the division, get obliterated in the playoffs, get a worse draft pick, and have a super hard schedule next year. Maybe its actually best if all that happens to get DA fired in 2024. If he loses by 20 points in the playoffs and then goes 5-12 on the season in 2024 maybe that could do it. The trouble is even making the playoffs this year could convince Loomis we are one player away and cause him to trade away our 2025 1st round pick and break the bank in free agency to get those one or two players that after 16 weeks to adjust to our scheme will make up our 20 point first round playoff loss deficit.

Quite the Conundrum…

50-50 against the Failclowns in the Dome? LOL! They are getting trucked by the Bears 37-17.

Yeah 50-50 to beat the Falcons who beat us 24-15 after our bye. That's generous. And we are 4-3 at home, not exactly unbeatable.

Want to place a wager on the game? I know you are wanting the Saints to lose so you might as well place your money where your heart is, right?

I’m looking at a Saints/Ravens Super Bowl

Saints - 70

Ravens - 6

I don't deeply care if the Saints lose. I don't deeply care if DA is the coach in 2024 as long as he is gone in 2025. What I care most about is rebuilding and not doubling down on the senior tour roster and not trading future draft picks and ending up like the Panthers giving another team #1 overall. Our future draft picks are like insurance, and in football years our roster is over 65 and needs to be covered by Medicare. Actually Medicare might give our roster access to better doctors.

I have no reason to gamble with you on a game I believe is 50-50. If you want to bet with me 50-50 on the Saints making the playoffs or bet 50-50 on a game if we make the playoffs that is fine. I could see arguments that we have a 2 out of 3 chance of beating the Falcons, though I don't agree with those arguments, so a 2 to 1 bet does not really intrigue me, although it is probably a good bet. If you want to bet 50 against 20 on the Saints vs Falcons I would definitely take that.
