NFL Monday Night Play (Late Info)

[LT Profits]

Saints -3 -105 (5 Dimes)

YTD: 15-14-1, 51.7%, +0.93

After saying continuously that this is the toughest Monday Night game of the year and that I was staying far, far away, I have now pulled the trigger after the late word that Berrian could barely walk and is now questionable.

[pavyracer]

Is Peterson fit? I'm thinking under for this game.

[Panic]

Tough game is right. With 3 teams coming out of the NFC East for the playoff picture, this is basically a must win for both teams this early in the season. Vikes fall to 1-4 and their season is over...same can be said for the Saints. They fall to 2-3, gonna be hard to catch a very good Panther team. I like the Saints here.

[LT Profits]

AP is fine, but with Berrian not 100%, the Vikes could become totally one dimensional and the Saints could stuff the box without much fear.

[hakrjak]

Berrian's been listed as Q on Yahoo sports for awhile now?

[LT Profits]

He was not on injury report Fiday and is still not listed in injuries on covers.

[Andrewsurf]

hmmm, that makes my over bet seem a bit less palatable. got the saints at -3 though, should make it an even easier decision for those left undecided. Saints MLB is out, weak rookie starting. With McAllister running between the tackles, the Saints inside run game will succeed for the first time this season, opening up a few runs for Reggie, but more importantly Bree's in the passing game. Gotta like NO, and don't forget the weak passing D of the vikes.

[Fishhead]

VIKES +3.5 on this end...........got the number early in the week.

Tough game for sure.

[ICE-BLOOD]

vikes need berrian
the other receivers arent that good
maybe frerotte will spread the ball around to the lesser known guys tho

[Panic]

Hard to take an Ov on a Viking game. All run. No pass.

[ryanXL977]

this line will be up to 4.5 or 5 by kickoff
mark my words

with all the jackasses losing their lunch on chisox and chasing on saints

go rays

[daggerkobe]

Vikings ML

[gm2022]

Saints -3

[Sforz]

Vikings ML

+1

[hakrjak]

Took NO -4 and Under 47.5

[AMBlai01]

More late Bullshit information that always comes out for MNF football games....Just because everyone is going to jump on the Saints with that info. I am going with Vikes -3 and probably the under.

[treece]

Just because Berrian may be out doesn't mean the Vikes have nobody else to receive. Other guys will step up because this is their chance to shine.

[accuscoresucks]

minnesota is medium at best with offense,but have a decent defense

staying away to many guys could step this up and playing mnf for most teams is like a playoff game which is to much of an X factor
forget this bet tho i think NO takes this

[CaneDawg]

I'm alive with vikes =+10

Still think Vikes find a way to win

[MJFtheGenius]

lol

Berrian who the hell is that???

means nothing

[smitch124]

I think the Saints defense is underrated, I like them at home in this spot.

[artie81]

Saints are 1-6 vs Vikings in past 7 meetings.
Vikings ML all day. Vikings 17 out of last 24 meetings. Vikes will play ball control and limit Duece. Vikes by 6pts.

[The HOFF]

SAINTS -3

[diehardfan]

I am a diehard Saints fan in Louisiana and figured I would chime in.

The Offense:
The Saints Offense can score points. There's no doubt about it. And last week we got Deuce rolling for the 1st time this year. Having both he and Bush healthy makes us more potent.
We do have an injury on our starting O-line, WR and TE. Colston and Shockey are out, but Lance Moore and David Patten are solid receivers. Also, Meachum has come on in the last two weeks, especially as a deep threat. Lastly, Brees is absolutely on fire. If you don't get to him, he'll pick you apart. He's playing better than any QB in the league.

Now the Defense:
We're bad (as in not good). We're not good and the injuries have been killing us. 1st round pick, Sedrick Ellis, has been an absolute monster in the middle of the DL. He's out 2-4 weeks and that is a major concern. We've got some decent backups, but we are thin at DT.
The linebackers are decent. Vilma has solidified the MLB spot and has been getting better as the season goes along.
The secondary is our achilles heel. Our best CB, McKensie is coming back early from an injury out of sheer necessity. He is not 100% but he is holding his own. On the other side, Gay has been hurt but should start tonight. Young and David will also play some CB tonight.

Overall:
We are going to score over 20 pts, it's gonna come down to how many points does Minnesota score.
Our run D had been getting better until Ellis went out. We are still vulnerable in the secondary. If AP gets going, the play action will kill us.

Prediction:
I am a bit of a homer so take that into consideration. I can't express what it meant to this team to get Deuce going last week. Let me just say it was an emotional game for the team and for the fans. Our strengths on Offense outweigh everything Minnesota brings to the table. I like the Saints at home with Deuce.

Saints 28 Vikes 23

Last 2 games were in 04 and 05. Aaron Brooks vs. Dante Culpepper.

[ryanXL977]

exactly

had beckett ever had a bad game in the loffs before yesterday? people use whatever stats they want to reinforce their opinions

saints win tonite, regardless of how bad they lost to culpepper and moss in 2002

[bigboydan]

Is Peterson fit? I'm thinking under for this game.

My thoughts exactly Mr.Pavy.

[louisvillekid]

My thoughts exactly Mr.Pavy.

as long as they get 41 i'll be happy. i played alt ov 40.5 -220 at betjm

[manofmyth]

Isn't the factor that Minny's starting LB is out for the season bigger news then a banged up has been receiver in Berriman?? Berriman isn't the cog that makes Minnys O go, but I'd have to think that the loss of Minny's starting LB and top tackler is the big news as far as injuries. Even Henderson's teammates were shocked to hear the news today that he is out for the SEASON, not just the game but the entire year. now i don't know about you, but not having your top tackler in the middle of your defense is going to be a big letdown for minny's D. it'll give Deuce, Bush and Brees more options to run and pass..............

with no starting LB, i was leaning for the Vikes and under, now it's looks like it's Saints and over now. minny's d-line is getting no sacks this season, granted people are not able to run the ball.

Saints -3 2units
Over 46.5 2 units

You can get Meachem -1.5 yds against Berrian.

How hurt is Berrian

couldn't agree more, how the hell can they stop deuce on the inside now? that will open up reggie, which will open up the passing game, and we all know how great vikings are against the pass. I know it seems too obvious to most, and fading the public is popular, but you gotta pick winners and you gotta pick based on the game situation.

I'm on the same side and total as you, BOL to us both
