7.5 Point Dog

Oldies... I've heard that. All the pre-season talk was about how the Panthers we going from the NFC. They MUST know something us lowly commoners don't. Like a new playoff system played in the off season.

The Panthers are a Super Bowl contender if healthy. These injury problems won't last all season. Don't get too cocky.

wheel, just having fun. I think it'll be a close physical game. Then again I thought that of Atlanta and we did much better than expected.

This is really no sign of disrespect or surprising at all. The Panthers are a perrenial playoff team off to a rough start while playing two tough games without their best player.

The Saints are a 3-0 team who have beaten two inferior teams and a huge win against a playoff caliber team with the energy of the Superdome.

I wont be surprised if the Saints win this game, but 7.5 point favorite for the Panthers, a team picked by many to represent the NFC in the Superbowl and who we all know are better than their 1-2 record shows, is not exactly shocking.

at kick off the score in Vegas will read

saints -7.5
panthers 0

so to cover we have to win by 8 points. just more than a touchdown favorite. That means the saints should win by 7. the .5 is for the house.

Not sure if i used the quote thing right but that statement is wrong. Right now we are 7.5 point underdogs, meaning, the Panthers have to beat us by more than a touchdown for the spread. .We ARE the underdogs. SO basically, if we lose only by 3, technically we win with the +7.5.

i just called my bookie. shhh he told me it was the other way around. funny 3-0 vs. 1-2 and we are still underdogs. what do they think? god can travel to carolina.

Let em keep underdogging us, we can use that to get us play mad
When we blow them out they'll change it quick, somewhat they love to disrespect us and play us like fools

Early on in my youth i may have bet on the Saints once or twice. But they quickly showed me the error of my ways as I always bet that they would win straight up.

So, after losing a "few" times I decided not to bet on the Saints anymore. What happened? They won.

The following week, I'd drink the Kool-Aid, get swept up in the frenzy of a one game winning streak, and wager on them again.

The result, I'd lose.

So, for those of you who are courageous enough, I applaud you.

But, I feel like I'm jinxing the Saints (or maybe myself) for even thinking about putting my credits on them. Hell, you guys having this kind of confidence in them is making me nervous!

Best of luck. Go Saints!

There is some truth to this. I usually try to avoid betting on the Saints. Same with my fantasy league. In the Yahoo league Colston is listed as a WR/TE so he's a keeper. Other than him I have to avoid using Saints players because I tend not to think as rationally when I have an emotional attachement to a player that's on my team.
