Not gonna draw this out much, as I'd prefer to make a seperate thread. Short and sweet...Ivory = Thomas as far as pure running. Betts > Bush as far as pure running, < Bush in the screen/pass/return game. Have to partition how you compare the backs here. Not a simple comparison in a very multiple type offense.
Just needed to correct when you said Betts is "not effective at all". Lol. I beleive Betts even got a game ball last week, so I don't know where that comes from. Saints are having turnover problems right now. It's not the run game. Not the offense yardage wise period. Defense had trouble on 3rd down against a highly motivated ATL squad (went for two 4th downs within FG range...in the first half).
That said, I think the Cards get the woodshed Sunday, as I'm on the other side of that one.
Here's to your 7-1 week
I do not think that Chris Ivory is even close to the refinement of Pierre Thomas, Ivory lacks A LOT of the skills that Thomas has mastered. Pierre Thomas does EVERYTHING Above Average, whereas Ivory cant Pass-Block, Doesnt have Great Hands, Doesnt Hold Onto the Ball... BUT, he IS a GOOD Runner.... Thats about it!!! PT is just ALL-Around MUCH Better than Ivory!!!
I guess I was a little "harsh" on Ladell Betts, but his stats were hardly anything to brag about... If Betts got a "Game-Ball", then the Saints must give out "Game Balls" quite GENEROUSLY !!! He had 47 Yds on 13 Rushes, thats a 3.6 YPC Avg, and then 4 Catches for 23 Yds to boot... HARDLY "Game-Ball" Material !!! Maybe did everything else well and got more of an "intangibles Game-Ball" but on-paper, Betts didnt really do too much !!!
Reggie Bush really gives this team such a DYNAMIC Weapon, he pretty much creates mismatches wherever he lines up!! Hes similar to Dallas Clark (NOT Nearly as Good though) bc hes an Athletic Freak and creates MISMATCHES All Over the Field!!!! Bush may not put up MONSTER Stat-Lines but he gives Sean Payton such an X-Factor to just juggle around the field, plus hes a BEAST in the Punt-Return game!!!
I dunno... To say Pierre Thomas AND Reggie Bush being out IS NOT that big of a deal, and to claim that Chris Ivory fills in for PT just Fine, and then to claim Ladell Betts is an adequate replacement for 3rd Downs and Passing Downs... is just Wrong!!! The N'awlens Saints Offensive struggles have been LARGELY associated with their Inability to Run the Football, and they are just Predictable lately! Arizona was supposed to have a MUCH IMPROVED Defensive Unit going into 2010-11 and I expect them to keep NO's Running Game in Complete Check and then Force Brees into some VERY Predictable Passing Situations and Take FULL Advantage of that !!!!!!!!
I CANNOT See New Orleans taking the Cards to the "woodshed"... I mean they "should" or maybe I should say... they "could" bc theyre the better football team but Arizona is @ Home (HUGE Factor), and Arizona was Just Embarassed on the ROAD against San Diego..... Now they come back to Arizona to Feast on some Home-Cookin' !!!! GREAT Spot for Az... ML Bet is Solid but take the 7+ Pts !!!!

LoL, please avoid posting ANY and ALL Trends on my Threads, Thanks! .... Because I DO NOT follow any of them, EVER, all they do is cloud my vision and cloud my opinions!!!

Good luck Bets your on hotfire right now
Im gonna parlay your 5 picks, not sure what to make of the Redskins/Packers game
Colts haven't played well on the road this year so good thing they're at home. Lions game is soldout so the crowd will be rockin in Detroit and they have been very competitive.

Thank you Dr. Strange!
GL on your Parlay!
The GB vs Wash Game still has me TORN
The Colts will be "THE COLTS" tomorrow at Home, infront of their Amped Fans! They CANNOT afford to Lose at Home and fall to 2-3 in that Deadlocked Division! I FULLY Expect them to ROLL Big Time here!!!
Im VERY Glad to hear that Detroit's Game is SOLD OUT for tomorrow!!! I expect the Stadium to be BUMPIN' and Id normally say that they'll catch Win #1 in Convincing Fashion tomorrow but for some reason they like to keep things close this season... But they have EASILY played well enough to Win and theyll FINALLY get over the hump tomorrow and take home a 2 Score Victory at the Rams expense !!!

Honestly... Every Week I think I'm gonna be PERFECT!!!
The ONLY Difference is that Lately... I've been RIGHT!!!
No totals for me this week... I havent really looked at them to be honest with you. Back in my HEAVY Betting Days, I used to Bet Totals Like CRAZY!!! But I've layed off them MUCH More lately!!!

Yeah the Top 5 Games thatre Bolded and that have Write-Ups are my ONLY PLAYS thus far... the other games are JUST Leans, I have NOT Played them yet and I MIGHT NOT play them AT ALL!!!
davopnz: Yes, I would take the Colts -7.5 (try and buy the Hook down to 7 Even)... as for the Totals, I dont want to just quickly glance at them and give you Totals to bet bc Total bets take A LOT of Research and for me, I used to Gather A LOT of Injury Report Data, plus Home/Away Splits, plus I Dig DEEP into 1 on 1 Matchups... I Dont really have the time to do all that now... Stay tuned for a couple more picks, as I'll ALMOST DEFINITELY be adding 1, if not 2 more Plays before Kick-Off tomorrow!!!

The GB vs Wash Game still has me TORN
It really looks too easy doesnt it?
The Skins have beaten Dallas and Phili and they should have beat Houston up 17 only to lose a shoot out but easily could have won that game as they hit the winning FG only to have a TO called at the veyr last second to void it and then they missed the 2nd. Why shanny did not return the favor when Houston kicked I will never know
Wash finally has a passing game and if Detroit can put up over big passing yards on them then its possible McNabb can have a similar game. Add to that the game is on National TV on Fox and you gotta know that the country will be on GB and I have always said that "The Road less traveled is the Road most profitable "
I would think that Detroit, Buffalo and Arizona fall into that theory

You are 100% Right here! SD "MIGHT" turn it up here... They're a VERY Good football team and this "might be" the beginning of a "dominant run" where they Win a handful of Games by like 3-4 Scores each Week! It "Might Be"... or... it "Might Be" another Road Game, inside of their Division for SD, where they dont have much success...... and they "MIGHT" Continue to Struggle when Playing Road Games against teams Inside of their Division!!! We shall see....
