monday night football SAINTS/FALCONS discussion

[bookiekilla]

by the way...this is my biggest play of the season so far, so it's probably a great fade....

also, some genius came in my thread and gave me some great advice to take the Saints and make some money tonight.....AFTER I've already played the falcons for a dime.....AND...that was his first post in this forum....

so...now you've got a choice of what to fade...either my big play....or the genius in my thread...

I know this isn't ballsy but I'm taking the Saints ML (-210). I just don't see how a team with Chris Redman at the helm is going to beat anyone. This game means more to the Saints than it does to the Falcons and I think they are hungrier.

Atlanta is 2-4 at home with its only wins over a Houston team without Andre Johnson and a 4-point win over San Francisco.

Sure, as Stifler mentioned above, the only road wins New Orleans has have been over hapless teams like Carolina and San Fran (and a better win at Seattle) but at 3-9, doesn't Atlanta fall into the same category as Carolina and San Fran? Why would a road win over the Falcons be so surprising?

I'll take Brees and company over Redman and his boys.

I agree. TB will have Garcia back next week, and Atlanta has to go on the road in a short week. The line may be lower because of the Bucs loss, but the Bucs were due for a letdown game yesterday. They'll be back hungry next week.

As for tonight, it's a tough play. Atlanta looked better with Redman in last week, and N.O.'s pass defense is so bad. I may look at that Falcons point total of 19.5 and take the over. I think even a 3rd stringer can score 20 on New Orleans.
