Vegas lines are always driven by people's perceptions. Book makers' primary job is to balance the incoming money. They set the line so they are not over leveraged no matter the outcome.

So lines are always about how bettors feel about a game, not reality.

Of course this is great if you're a Saints fan and a gambler. Lots of bettors are going to be thinking exactly the same way that Guido's FF friends are.

BTW the current line looks like the Saints +3.5.

True.... BuddyD used to always sprinkle in Vegas as part of his analysis. I remember his saying those guys were not the dullest tools in the shed and did not want to lose $.
