Well, here we are; The Who dat show in Miami.
Im going to take the dog in this one. If a game turns into a dance up and down the field, its often the last D standing that gets the team home, not the sexiest offense, and I think the Saints have the edge ... just!
I would usually dismiss Greg Williams threat to knock Manning out as the usual pre-Super Bowl horse** (its not too bright, in any case) but the Saints will definitely try because it inhibited Favre and they may be helped by the stats on the ref tonight, Scott Green, who rarely calls roughing the passer. I know that sounds a little hopeful if youre a Saints fan, but I think it might be a factor here. Even when the flags flew in the Vikes game, that was early on, and ol man Brett began to get more beat up, without drawing fouls, as the game went on. Each year, I used to put up a list of Superbowl betting tips and top of the list was,

Worryingly I was going in big on the Colts but now wondering whether to back NO at a good price with a view to greening up

I thought as much Orioles.
You certainly speak da lingo - offense - practise etc. Your American sojourn could explain your attitude to "other" matters that have cropped up on various threads too. Anyways - as you Yanks say - I'm leaning t'wards NO as well. Scott Greeen will ensure this game is kept close so it's worth taking the 4.5 imo. |

Good ol Uncle Joe eh?!!!

yeah mate, should be a hum dinger.
Brees will win mvp if saints win the bowl. |

I know, GH.
Pure, unashamed affectation, I'm afraid. I alter my spelling and grammar shamelessly. My only weak excuse is that I still visit often and have many American friends. |

Great write up O! (as always) Agree on most of your points, Saints are great value here, especially with Freeny limited. Only thing i would disagree with would be Under points, (i don't have a strong opinion on this tho). I think NO will put up 28-35pts and manning won't let NO get out of sight, so leaning to overs.
Surprised you haven't backed Addai to score at anytime @ 1.71. Considering you pointed out that NO have given up 266yrds and 5TD in the post-season and you expect Addai & Brown to get some hand-offs near the goal line. I'm gonna follow your lead and take NO+5.5, Brees MVP, Addai anytime scorer, Clarke 1st scorer. Also a couple of my own, NO+3 1st half & over 28pts 1st half, Colts to win by 1-6pts. Ideal scenario: Clarke scores first, NO lead 17-14 at half time. Colts comeback to win by 1-5pts with Addai scoring somewhere in the middle. (we can all dream) GL O. |

Good work O (hubristic a fantastic word ;))
I like P Thomas to out-rush Addai at Evens with Coral |

If you agree with The Big O there's some value in the NO+4.5 handicap/under 55.5 points double market on here. Individual prices on both markets are 1.96 and 2.04, so the double should be around 4, but it's been trading at 4.5 and above. You could argue that the hcap/points double are related bets, in which case it is even better value as the under would make it more likely that the fav doesn't cover the spread.
Always a weak market though so you'll struggle to get more that £20 or so on, but it's a good one if you're looking for a small interest bet. |
