    the square side would be determined by the number of bettors on one side not the amount of money on one side, correct? sports insights is showing 56% of the bets on the saints, making that the square side. but if the money is really is really that far apart i don't understand why the line hasn't moved more towards ATL -4 or -4.5

    So many squares taking the Saints because they are a desperate team and they "need" this win. Face it guys, they are not a good team. The defense is atrocious and the offense lacks some of the firepower it had last season. I can look down their schedule and say they have 2 quality wins this season. Sunday was their big chance to really get themselves back into contention and they came up short on their home field. Now they head to Atlanta in a major revenge game and I look for a performance from the Falcons much like the one the Saints put on them last year on Monday Night Football.

    Everything I see from the line indicates that Atlanta wins this game big. Falcons are -3 1H at the greek with the Saints being juiced heavily indicating to me that they will collect on the juice as Atlanta jumps out to a big lead early. Also at the Greek, Falcons -7.5 is a mere +165 and -10.5 is only +230.

    The Falcons will bury the Saints tonight and put them out of their misery.

    Falcons -3.5 -110 for 10 units
    hope you're right....i need to get goin already in the nfl.

    A Square side is the side that is enticed or manipulated by a tasty line which oddsmakers provide.............

    For instance if you were a bookmaker and you had one sided or 70% action on the ATS of-3.5

    What would you do to even the action out?

    A.move the line a half point until the action evens

    b.leave it where it is and hope it evens out

    c.leave it where it is because you the book are betting on the underdog to cover

    Are these figures including just the spread? Or the ML too?

    Probably have to correct it a bit to account for those opting for -3 (-135) instead of -3.5 (-110), but still very one-sided. And it certainly reinforces that the public betting % numbers that are listed everywhere do not tell the whole story. Money is what counts, not number of bets.

    Good luck Wizzle. Your right on in your analysis. Saints are crap. Only reason why the Saints are still in the playoff discussion is because Brees covers up so many of the Saints' flaws. They can't stop anyone on defense, and they still struggle to run the ball.

    Agreed, if NO was going to make any type of playoff push, they needed to beat SF at home. They're pretty much dead, and if they lose tonight, put a fork in them.

    Those #'s are prob from 5Dimes. That's interesting, I've never seen that. Still probably won't use it, it just kinda complicates things I think.

    Forgot to mention the fact that Saints are coming off a game against the Niners in which they were physically beat up. Now on a short week they have to play a huge game. New Orleans looks beat.

    I dropped on Saints ML just because I think they have a shot at winning here. They match up well vs. Falcons and excepting last week they're still playing much more composed than they started out this season. I also give some leeway given the 49ers are the best team right now imo. At this writing Brees just threw his 1st interception which is bad for me, so we'll see.
