Can't believe the line is +3.5pts... Saints will win this, never mind getting 3.5pts.
They have got the better of those Dirty Birds. pretty sure the dirty Birds have only beaten the Saints twice since 2006.

Yep, our record against the filth has been poor in recent years, although I have no problem in saying overall they have been much the better team outwith our matches in this era, so you'd expect them to have the better record in the match up against most lesser outfits. We've been average all season, we're not playing for our life, they will be. The only caveat is that despite our mediocrity we've risen to most of the challenges we've faced this season.

I very rarely post on here but felt compelled to on this. Anyone know why the Saints are out at 2.76!? Seems unbelievably generous. Expected 2.2, maybe 2.3.
Many reasons, including: - Saints are effectively playing for their season tomorrow. - Looks like the Falcons may well be without their #1 CB Asante Samuel (DNP all week), who was the only Falcon defender to come out of that game in the Superdome three weeks ago with any credit. - Saints may have starting RT Zack Strief back, who missed the Falcons game in the Superdome. If he returns, the Saints have a healthy set of starters on both sides of the ball for one of the first times this season. - The stats the Saints have put up on the Falcons in recent years are impossible to ignore. Pete Carmichael's scheme dominates the Falcons. To beat the Saints, you have to shut down their running game, have corners that can man cover, then be able to get effective pressure on Brees. San Francisco demonstrated this perfectly on Sunday. This Falcons defense is almost the polar opposite of the 49ers. Vulnerable against the run, zone coverage, and a patchy pass rush. Why is the market so confident that, in 3 days practise this week without their #1 CB, the Falcons have made the necessary defensive adjustments to suddenly do all of these thingsl!? - The Saints spotted the Falcons a 10 point lead in the Superdome three weeks ago, and still came back to win. The only thing I can think in the Falcons favour is "short week, home team". Or that the market is just being blindly driven by the fact it's 10-1 v 5-6. But there's a lot more to this matchup than the records suggest. I personally favour the Saints in this one, but expected the market to see it as a pick'em game, with a very slight edge to the Falcons based on homefield advantage. Saints at 2.76 seems an absolute steal! So what am I missing? |

Have to agree with both of you..seems a big price on the saints...playing as well as atlanta if not better...looks a massive price...Its not as if they are playing outdoors in bad weather away from home.

I am on the saints SU in this match too (sorry falla's) - they're on a roll and only a couple of pick 6's cost em against the 49'ers.

Birds dont lose this at home
Falcons by 7 |

hornet I hope you dont bet on atlanta to win by more than 7 in most home games...you would be applying for a crisis loan.......My view on atlanta is they are a very solid team with a very good QB with the best 2 receiver and TE group....They seem to find a way to win but they are not that convincing..they are yet to win a home game by 7 pts...struggles v oakland arizona and carolina at home

Good call beanish. Obviously a saints love in going on here, they're not fighting for their season for no reaaon, they've a terrible defense and brees has been hit and miss. Atlanta might be scrapin wins but their getting it done. They'll cover the spread here, wait for another desperate game from saints
|
|
By:
All this talk about terrible defence? why? Atlanta failed on more than one occasion in the superdome against the saints redzone D...the last game between these 2 teams resulted in a saints win...has this been forgotten
 |

By:
New Orleans are 11-2 in the last 13 against Atlanta and 4-0 on the last 4 visits too Atlanta, just protect the ball a little better than against Frisco and I thik they can take the win here, My prediction is a close one with NO coming out on top 28-21

By:
So there you have it, on my current form you should all be racing too lay New Orleans

Dont worry beanish, they'll respect them after the game. People are probably blinded by the money that the saints won them in previous seasons.

Asante been passed fit?

yes lix.

Im with the consensus here, saints are too big a price, whether they win or not is a different matter, but certainly would rather be backing the saints than the falcons at the prices.

I know they have looked a bit susceptible but at home they should have too much for the Saints.

Fancy Jimmy Graham to have a big night 150 to win 100 at PP anytime scorer will give me an interest for the night.

By:
Saints straight. All day. Their effort against 49ers was admirable, and a repeat will see them win here. I fancy they'll win easily.

what does being at home have to do with anything? it is in a dome which the saints also play in...atlanta win better away from home than they do at home..complete myth
|
|
By:
erm.... home teams win more than away teams in every sport Harry. Lots of reasons for this. It has to be a factor.

LIX...I am not talking about all home teams..just saying atlanta have been better on the road this season..they havent won a home game by 7 or more...ravens for example are a home team that is dominant at home
