39-26 +34.83U ytd
Am taking the week off, but played the Monday night game.
Pats +3 (-120) x3
While I expect the Saints to play fairly well offensively, this is the strongest test of the season for this banged up Saints D.
Check out the QBs they have faced this season..... 3 rookies (Sanchez, Freeman and Stafford in his 1st career start), Trent Edwards, Delhomme, Henne, Bulger. They also faced Philly with Kolb at QB.
I see no way that Saints stop Brady and the Pats offense. The CB position is injured up and down the depth chart. Top 4 CBs are injured (2 out for sure, while Gay and Greer are up in the air). A hobbled Greer vs. Welker or Moss spells doom imo. McCallister and McKenzie have been signed in the past 10 days. The Saints have sound, yet slowish LBs and safeties. Not the kind of D that you want against the Pats imo. Sharper may be the most overrated player in the NFL. Not that he isn't a good football player, but he has shown a lack of speed and has also taken himself out of plays by taking poor angles. Since Ellis went down, teams are gashing the Saints on the ground.
I like NE to win this game, although I will obviously be rooting the other way.
Good luck:weed:
