NYG - Whitehurst's First start... Down Early... Crushed 41-7 Ari - Up 16-0... Win 22-10 SD - up 10-0 at half... Tied at 20 late, Washington Returns 2nd Kick of the night... Win 27-20 SF - Up 14-6 at half - win 31-6 I see ONE game in which they didn't compete... the Giants... KC was a ball game until the 4Q, and the possibly Superbowl Bound Falcons they were in it until Hasselbeck Played like a donkey on the opening drive of the 2H ... Again, for those that feel like NO is an "Obvious" play... you can't be more wrong, even if the score ends up that way... If NO wins, particularly covers... they would have played a near PERFECT game, in really SHITTY conditions, in a TOUGH place to win, against a team that is MOTIVATED to complete for their Jobs next year... against a team that has NOTHING to lose... looking for the OPPORTUNITY to PROVE to people that they belong, despite their shitty record... The funny thing, is I REALLY LIKE the Saints... I love the organization, and what they've accomplished in the past 4 years, after decades of being garbage... They are a VERY good team that I have been VERY successful with betting on over the past couple years... But this just maybe a spot they are laying ALOT of points to overcome ALOT of obstacles... and with a ML at +500 or more... this just MAYBE the perfect storm...
