New orleans -4

[swisher33]

Home field advantage in a dome in the playoffs is worth at least 4 points. If anybody disagrees, please say so.

The reason New Orleans played bad at the end of the season was injuries. Most of the guys healed and it showed vs. the Cardinals. Minnesota is a solid team. There weakness is their pass defense ranking 22nd in the league.

New Orleans is a better team and their dome gives them 4+ points so I see New Orleans covering at -4. I expect some line movement so I would hit this early.

Brees is terrific and I want to bet the Saints but Favre scares the hell out of me. In years past you could almost guarantee a bonehead play from him, many times costing his team. This year that bonehead play doesn't exist. Plus he is so dam accurate.

I usually give the nod to the better qb if I'm uncertain on a pick. But which qb has the edge? You've got me.

[Dr.Gonzo]

4 points is too much of a home field advantage considering Vikings play in a dome.

Early money is on Vikings as well. Opened 4.5 down to 3.5.

[jazz]

hope the saints win

[jhack704]

no go vikings!

[hhsilver]

Line went from 4.5 to 3.5.

Do you think it will go back up with late Saints money?

[azn624]

if it hits -3 then I'll take then saints

[Bob Loblaw]

Home field advantage is enormous here and worth the 4 points. Vikes now 9-0 at home this year and have won 6 straight home games by at least 17 points. Yet on the road they are just 4-4 and have lost 3 in a row and 4 of 5. Also, 3 of their 4 road wins came against Cleveland, Detroit, and St Louis. They did have a quality win at green bay but lost at Pitt by 10, at Chicago by 6, at Arizona by 13, and at Carolina by 19. I can't stress enough how important home field advantage is for this minnesota team.

interesting i like the saints here

[duke4s907]

I am also a strong Saints Fan. I see them winning by as much as 7. Look how many false starts Mn had on the last game and that was when they where at home. That dome is going to be a rockin

GO SAINTS

[HardHitter37]

Yes,Saints are tough at home and Vikings appear average on the road.This game will come down to the lines.If Brees gets time he will be able to exploit that secondary.

[aceking]

hope the saints win -3.5

[Slim]

Favre didn't make it this far to lose.

[fresnosurf]

Public sympathy for Favre. But imho, Saints have more pressure on them as they are at home.

[netinfo]

if it hits -3 then I'll take then saints

I like the Saints on the ML, but yeah, if it hits -3, I'll probably take the spread as well.

+++++++++++++++++++++
Saints ....
Second half as well.
Minn has a tough go of it
after the intermission.

[netinfo]

I'm taking the Saints now irregardless of whether it goes to -3. I think -3.5 or even -4 is a good play for the Saints. I think they probably win by a TD or more.

im buying saints down to -3 why take the chance of getting burnt buy the hook..should be a great game ultimately im counting on payton severely out coaching childress..while the minny pass rush is very good i expect payton to be able to scheme against it and dont think minny secondary can compete if brees has time...if minny had a better coach there potential run game would worry me but childress/favre have shown they are not trying to pound the rock...the key is for saints to put some points up early that should get any thought of a run game right out of that jackass childress mind...although i think this is gonna be a good game in the end it wouldnt surprise me to see saints win by double digets as that would kill every1s teasers

[Unchained]

Saints healthy and home field equal a win.
Saints -3.5

[bradleysnyder]

it sems too easy to take the vikes an the points.this is hardest game of the year to cap imo

[woody78]

Saints will get this cover, they have too much offense for Minny's horrible secondary.

[vassman86]

I'm on the Saints, but either way, I'd like to see Minnesota vs Indianapolis. I have Vikings to win it all at +460

[Glitch]

last time vikings played on sunday night they got raped by carolina

[dmtrader]

I like the Saints to cover, but these NFL lines are so tight, I wouldn't be surprised if they won by a field goal just to fool us all.

[Glitch]

saints win by 21 and the over still misses hahahaa

[mr. leisure]

GIMME THE SAINTS -3.5

[Superman455]

I AM ON THE Vikings...GL with your bet

[brock]

Vikings D will have trouble.

[infamousbacardi]

Vikings are facing a whollleeee new monster today...they only have 1 quality road win this year...Packers. That's it. They are 4-4 on road...only wins against Rams, Lions, Browns, and Pack.
Take you want, but that's far from stellar. AND...Superdome may be toughest place to play.

[Busterflywheel]

Vikings take this boys..

[swisher33]

I'm happy to say that kroyrunner 53-29 has just posted his picks and also picked New Orleans -3.5

[thechaoz]

I'm pounding the Saints

[masr]

Saints pull away in the 2nd H
