Welcome back Brian McKinney. Adrian Peterson and this offense have been missing you big time. This game is just a TERRIBLE match-up for the Saints. Offensively the Saints are going to be in trouble, they are missing 3 key receivers (Shockey, Colston, Patten), and I don’t think they’ll be able to move the ball with <st1:State><st1lace>Minnesota</st1lace></st1:State>’s suffocating Run D. On the flipside of the ball, <st1:City><st1lace>New Orleans</st1lace></st1:City> defense is terrible. How they are going to stop Adrian Peterson, now that he’s getting his LT back is beyond me. Even Gus Frerotte will hook up with Berrian on at least 1 deep ball, and that’ll be enough to seal the deal for the Vikings. <st1:State><st1lace>Minnesota</st1lace></st1:State> covers here, and probably wins this thing outright.

Berrian may not play, and Sidney Rice is slowed by a knee injury too. Honestly, there's no good argument against MIN, so you may be sitting on a winner. But I feel NO @ home plays to the crowd, and the "D" plays a little better than usual. That should be enough to cover 3.

BOL in any case. :toast:

 

[Mac_The_Handicapper]

My sources say Berrian goes.

That's the only thing that scares me about this game, and that's the N.O home field advantage factor. They are a much different team at home.

Bol but be extra careful with that play Mac.

The line for the Saints backers is to the left and over 900 people deep right behind the sheep to the slaughter.

Vikings backers, since there are so few of you can come on in and enjoy the show. Drinks are on the house.

Agree about the Vikes.. Frerotte may be terrible, but theres no doubt that the passing game and running game will both get a lot better with McKinney returning.. a lot of people dont seem to understand how much it hurts a team when their starting tackle is out

 

[Jetplane]

What injuries surround this game?

 

[betterbet24]

just the whole new orleans WR corp.

 

[rolltide]

What injuries surround this game?

I think the Ellis injury will prove to be the big one...

the receivers you are talking about have been out for weeks, yet the saints lit up sf last week, gl.

 

[rolltide]

the receivers you are talking about have been out for weeks, yet the saints lit up sf last week, gl.

Patten has not missed a game this year and Shockey only missed the SF game

Colston has not played since week 1

tonight is 1st game playing without all 3

 

[elrey21]

Patten was pretty ineffective last week and they were just fine. People are going to be surprised when Lance Moore and Robert Meachem step up.

 

[DETROIT911]

We all know minn run def is good but saints dont run look for brees to have a good night aginst a bad minn pass def i like the over

 

[powerz]

That's the only thing that scares me about this game, and that's the N.O home field advantage factor. They are a much different team at home.

Vikes as dome team as well may not be affected as much as other vistors to NO.

Money line down $7 on the saints with split action

gl with your play looks like the right side - but shyte happens ask the texans

 

[ZipLock]

Lance Moore and Meachem are more than capable wideouts. Moore lit it up last week. Add bush in the slot, deuce and pierre getting the tough yards and I think its still a tough matchup for the Vikes. Esp considering their suspect pass D. All the Vikes have is AP and a bunch of hobbled wideouts. I see Ol Gus struggling in the Big Easy tonight

I'm playing the over and leaning on the saints.

G/L tho!!!

 

[ZipLock]

and not only those stated above

Faves of 1-3 points are 19-7 ATS (thanks BB)
