pretty clear most cloud their judgement because of the past in this place... I like the bet... I'm not blaming anyone if I lose... It's not a steam play.. It has clear value... If NO wins by 30.. good for them.... I just think it will be tougher than most people think... 4 inches of Snow in Vancouver, which likely means snow this week in Seattle... at worst cold and humid... I've also pointed out NO has lost their last THREE games in below average weather, ALL with BREES having big numbers, but BIG PICKS.... one against a 7-9 Bears team, another against a 9-7 Bears team... and the other in the same year in the NFC championship game where they were crushed...
Dec 11, 2008- (L) 27-24 Brees was 24-32 - 243 Yards - 2 TD's 2 INT's
Dec 30, 2007 -(L) 33-25 Brees was 35-60 - 320 yards - 3 TD's 2 INT's
Jan 21, 2007 - (L) 39-14 Brees was 27-49 - 354 Yards - 2 TD's 1 INT ...
so it's a GIVEN - Brees puts up 29-47 for 305 yards for 3 TD's and 2 INT's... Clear GIVEN - But obviously Seattle BAD right .. we know this... Because those BEARS teams in the past must have LIT UP the Saints D... RiGHT? the ONLY way they could win the game right...
Dec 11, 2008 - Orton 24-40 - 172 - 0 TD's, 1 INT - RB Forte 11 - 34 1 TD
Dec 30, 2007 - Orton 12-27 - 190 - 2 TD's, 1 INT - RB Peterson 21-91 0 TD's
Jan 21, 2007 - REX GROSSMAN - 11-26 - 144 yards 1 TD - 0 INT - Jones - 19-123 - 2TD's
Way too many guys who "think" they know football/sports... and don't realize that even in a BLOWOUT, there are usually made up by one or two plays EARLY/Midway that typically knock another team on their ass and they can't get up... What part of Kyle Orton, or Rex Grossman screams SUPERSTAR? Why do you think you are GETTING 5:1 on your money???
Again... this COULD be a blowout, no one is questioning how good NO is... but the past shows that with a SIMILARly composed team, with many of the SAME players and Coaching staff, there is at least a DECENT possibility that the game stays close... and IF it stays close... I would LOVE to take my shot at 5:1 down 7 in the 4th...
