7 POINT FAVORITE?

saintsfan1976 · 01-13-2010, 02:47 PM

The Saints are favored by 7, the OU is 57 and almost every talking head has their butt firmly planted on the AZ wagon.

I mean, how much $$$ is Vegas gonna make on this one!!??

If you've bet on N.O. throughout the season you know that early on, the Saints were covering every week - the first 6 games to be exact. (and i was rollin!)

Well, Vegas put a stop to that one...

Since then the Saints are 2-8 vs the spread and 0-5 over the last 5 games.

So if you're laying money - who do you take? Choose more than one answer if you're betting the OU.

Vegas always makes money regardless. They just keep moving the lines to keep betting divided and pick up $1 in every $22 bet don't they?

Anyways back to the subject matter:
I though the spread should have started at 5.5. That should increase by .5 or so with confirmed CBs coming back. I would move it again if other Saints come back.
Don't think game will be a score fest. AZ will go tight on our WRs and so we will have to be patient with the likes of Bush. Our returning CBs will squeeze Warner's options.

I would have to go Saints -7. I wouldn't be surprised with a 34-24 or 38-21 type game. That puts it far too close to the over/under line, but easily supports a 7 point cover.

I predicted 34-31, so it's sure to go under.

foreverfan · 01-13-2010, 04:43 PM

I'll take the over. Saints 58-0.

I love my Saints, but I'd take those 7 points all day long.
