Although I think it’s high,,,,,,the wise guys are pretty good at what they do. And I am a homer. It’s all about a number to stimulate action on the game.

This part exactly. The general betting public has totally bought into the media hype that Tampa Bay and Brady are the next world champs. The line is not based upon what the odds makers believe will actually happen. The line is set to generate equal amounts of cash bets on both teams. That's how they make their money. This usually requires giving more points to what is perceived by the public as the weaker team. The professionals love this scenario. I expect that there will be big late money coming in on the Saints.
