I just don't understand why anyone would play the Saints. Can anyone betting Saints tonight give me a reason why?

Is it some funky trend or something, cause looking at what the teams have done so far, I can't see a reason to take the Saints.

Minny with the better record, better skill position players, better rush O, better rush D, better Pass O, better big play makers. What am I missing?

The public big on Minny, so it's scary why the line came out at -3.5 and hasn't really moved much.

McAllister healthy, running against a VERY soft Viking D. Enough reason for me. Saints can easily match the points in this game, so I will take them and on the ML.


Really surprised that so many are on Minn.

Well, given that the Saints just lost to a bad TB team, at home no less, I think the public has a short memory, and that didn't look good.

Minny has one loss to Philly (a very good team). Saints last two lost to TB and Arizona (not only lost to Arizona but got smashed up).

I'm gonna try to overthink this one. The more I think about it, Minny -3.5 is gonna be my play.

Yeah Smoke, that's about the only reason I can think of too. Public on Minny. My system I play takes that into account big time, but I can't seem to get over the fact that that Saints are not a good team, can't run the ball, just plain bad.

I'm probably walking right into a trap, but can't play NO here. Can't do it!

that's why there's a line on the game. Do you really think it's that easy? I'm on N. O. +4 myself. Minny on the road as a favorite is iffy at best.

Likely saints will air it out tonight and try that strategy.


Good luck

I like Minny along with everyone else, BUT I don't like the line movement so far...it seems there is so much money on the Vikes, BUT the line is staying solid at -3.5 & 4. Totally reminds me of Green Bay last Monday...that line stayed solid at 3 the whole time and EVERYONE had G.Bay including myself. Still have some time to go...I really want to see the line move. It would make me feel a lot better.....LOVE the OVER though as well....

Right Side, you said it, this feels like GB vs Tenn.

And the made the line here 3.5, which to me was begging the public to take Minny. Even if they opened it at 4 or 4.5 I think they would have had majority Minny.

Yeah, GB and Tenn, feels very weird. Pinny holding at -3.5, might even go to -3 by kick-off, knowing that place.

Mike McKenzie is starting for the Saints tonight and will be on Moss. We'll see what kind of game Moore has for the Vikes too. Remember when Stecker had the big game early in the year and was non-existant the following game at AZ when there was a defense planed to stop him.

Not quite sure why the Saints wouldn't want to run the ball more and keep the ball away from the Vikes. They were moving it pretty good on the ground.


Nice hit Vikes backers.
