Brees to humilate the horrible and heinous Hawks

Ok the headline is a bit hyperbole but +8 is absolute enormous for a team of the quality of the New Orleans Saints, and they are a must bet receiving more than a touchdown of a start.
I'm convinced this will be a close game.
I was very confident about the Saints keeping it tight the last time they ventured to Seattle (dec 3rd) and ended up with egg on my face after a 34-7 drubbing. But I still maintain the reasons for thinking it would be close on Dec 3rd stand today (maybe even more so).
If I could quick a QB/head coach combo to learn and make adjustments and come back better and stronger and wiser and tougher, it would be Drew Brees and Sean Peyton. Oh yes. Much more than Brady and BB. I saw an interview with Richard Sherman and he said that Brees was the best QB he has ever seen for 'working it out' and 'picking apart a defense after studying pictures on the sidelines'.
The Saints have been to Seattle twice in recent times in massive games. Once already this season when the NFC number one ranking was up for grabs and also back in 2010 as Super Bowl champions and losing a wild card game to the 7-9 Seahawks. The Saints were 10pt favs that day!
I'm utterly convinced that Peyton and Brees will have a game plan. I think we saw glimpses of it last week in Philly when the Saints ran the ball much more than normal. Peyton has always been a throw first coach. But he has a strong running game and he knows he has to be more balanced.
If you look at the Saints' offense it is, if not the best in the NFL, comparable with anyone in the league. Drew Brees, Darren Sproules, Pierre Thomas (questionable but could be back this week), Mark Ingram, the beast that is Khiry Robinson (feed the beast), Marcus Colston, Jimmy Graham (best tight end in the league bar none), Lance Moore, Kenny Stills.....serious, serious weapons. Also the Saints' offensive line has been playing much better of late and protected Brees well in Philly last week.
Now let's go back to the game on Dec 3rd. I think it's impossible for the Seahawks to play any better than they did. I also think it's hard for the Saints to play any worse than they did. Listening to Brees and peyton directly after the game and they knew they didn't play well and made basic errors. They knew this. They got behind very early in the game and were chasing it from the word go. Rob Ryan kept dialing up blitzes and Wilson burned him all night long. But even at 17-7 down just before half time, the Saints had some momentum and burned all their times outs to stop the clock and get the ball back and they had the Hawks in a 3rd and very long situation - but another crazy Rob Ryan play call and the Hawks converted. And that as they say was that.
But what i like is people learning from their mistakes. The following week the Saints tore the Carolina Panthers a new one in the Superdome.
Keep remembering the spread is +8.
Last week the Saints won their first ever play off game on the road with a narrow win in Philly. Many things impressed me about that win. The winning drive killed the game stone dead. Gave Philly no chance of coming back. The Saints and Brees ran the clock down from almost five minutes out. Also how well the kept Shady McCoy in check. McCoy has been the best running back in the league all season but the Saints played him well. I thought someone had kidnapped Rob Ryan as the Saints only blitzed (if they can even call it that) once all night - he brought an extra rusher!!! That discipline kept McCoy in check and baited Nick Foles to beat them through the air. He almost did it but not quite. And I can see Ryan doing the same again. Stop Lynch and keep Russell Wilson in the pocket and make him beat you. he might well do it but force him to do it. do not let Lynch beat you. No crazy blitzes.
The Saints' running game is actually very good and they have excellent options open to them. I think the Seahawks will concentrate on stopping the run (they are 7th against the run this season so not the best) and try and make Brees beat them. The problem is he can. He is very good. When the Saints' running game kicked into gear last week Brees played much better. it opened up so many throwing lanes for him.
In recent years the Saints have lost narrow play off games on the road in Seattle and San Francisco. People point out that they are no good on the road. In both those losses the Saints scored 30+ points.
This season the Saints (and this is without argument) should have won in New england and carolina. On both occasions they were leading until undone by last gasp drives. Heartbreaking stuff.
People on this forum rant and rave about the Carolina Panthers. But on the two occasions they have played this season the Saints have looked the better team. They have picked apart their defense and have stopped Cam Newton. No one can argue that on their two meetings this season that the Panthers are better than the Saints. They are not. The evidence is there. Now if the Panthers contest the NFC Championship game in Seattle the spread will probably be 3.5 in  Carolina's favour. The Saints are getting 8!!!! Massive.
This is going to be close. The Saints have absolutely nothing to lose. The pressure is all on the Seahawks. Sean Peyton and Drew brees are playing with the house's money and that makes them a very very dangerous animal. They have one of the most dynamics offenses in the league, their defense (although banged up) is ranked 4th in the league so they are no slouches either and they won their first road play off game last week and are brimming with confidence. Plus they should have won in New England and Carolina this season.
All in all the saints are a cracking bet in receipt of 8.
MASSIVE BET ON THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS +8 at 10-11
