7.5 Point Dog

xan · 09-27-2006, 03:31 PM

We opened at Carolina giving 8 points, but have "improved" to getting 7.5 points with the O/U at 42. Now, I'm NOT a person schooled in sports odds, but are we really going to lose to Carolina 25-17?

Thank you thank you thank you Vegas.

This team already had a chip on their shoulder about being disrespected. Should give them a little something to chew on and for Payton to use.

It's a good thing.

But a 3-0 team being a 7.5 dog to a 1-2 team that has only beaten a 0-3 team. That is insulting.

And we expect to get "respect" after beating Carolina?

Honestly I see no reason why we can't win this game. It's a matter of if Payton can get these guys geared up with the short week.

When/if we win, there will be another reason from critics why we're still "3 years behind Atlanta" and why we still suck.

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.

No insult taken. smith is back and we are on the road. at home yes, but on the road no.

I'll take those odds! Hell......I made $1500 on the Atlanta game!

hagan714 · 09-27-2006, 05:30 PM

I made 500 but lost 200 for each of my cash fantasy leagues i play in. Got stuck with a couple of dirty birds there dunn and crumpler. so a 100 dollar profit and win while lossing is the best feeling.

I need to see my bookie

Too many points expecting a "let down".

The Saints can win this one. Yes they have Smith back, but Jake needs time to throw it to him, and that offensive line is having issues, and compared to Vick, Jake is pretty much a parking meter.

The only match-up problem I see is Pappers/Kemoeatu vs. Evans/Stinch. We'll probably won't see Deuce and Reggie on the backfield at the same time in favor of Kearney staying in for extra protection, unless Reggie lines straight up at WR. At LB, they don't have Morgan who's hurt again (who'd have thunk it ) , Witherspoon is with the Rams now, and Thomas Davis while solid, not a force at the position, so their LB's aren't that great.

Other than that, I fully expect the defense to stop the run (Foster/Williams) and make Jake go to the air and try to beat the Saints that way. I see no less than 4 sacks, and a 23-14 victory for the Saints.

And by a last second field goal after blowing a 17 point lead. Jake looked like poo. If we can cover Smith at all they don't have a chance, cause Jakie-poo and Meshawn won't beat us.

jake spent alot of time getting hit. he is not use to it since leaving the saints. lol. hammer him and he will flinch

It's because it doesn't matter how many games the Pathers lose, they're still going to the Superbowl. They can lose all 16, they're still going to be a Superbowl team.
