I mean, how can the Redskins win this game? They are a pitiful team and the Saints are far better. But why are the Redskins favored by 1? Is it because of the losses of Fujita and Colston? They still have a solid recieving core with Bush catching passes, and Patten going to step up. And I heard Meachem is coming to the roster to play a bit. And of course Shockey can always be around for a little bit of damage. But please explain this line. I understand to the "average" bettor, NO seems like the best bet on the board, but tell me why the Redskins are Going to win this game.

The Redskins are not as bad as they looked last week. They still have a solid defense, and are getting Springs back. The Saints struggled to get by an average Tampa team at home. You want them to go into Fed-Ex field and win?
Washington will control the ball with their running game and short passes and keep the Saints offense on the bench. Also, the Saints are alos missing Roman Harper and Randall Gay. How are they going to get the Redskins off the field?
I would and have taken the Redskins.

The Redskins a pitiful team? Really? Have you taken a gander around the league to understand exactly what constitutes a pitiful team?
Last week, the Redskins fell victim to the Super Bowl champs who were looking to make a statement about their play at home. And they did. But what we as bettors must glean from that performance is that the Redskin defense proved to be more than formidable, as they kept the Giants out of the end zone for the rest of the game after that first Giants touchdown drive. In fact, in the second half, one could argue the Redskins dominated play.
So what exactly in your right mind makes them a pitiful team? The fact that they lost one half of football to the reigning Super Bowl champions?
On the flip side, the Saints played an emotional ball game in front of their home faithful with Hurricane Gustav having hit the New Orleans area the week before. In this highly emotional, back and forth ball game, the Saints managed to squeak out a win for their home fans. And now you think they're a shoe-in to go on the road and destroy a team that's confident after the way it played in the 2nd half and has had 10 days rest to prepare? I think not.
Quite frankly, I'm pretty surprised this line is set where it is. The Skins are most definately worthy of being a field goal favorite in this spot, and I'm shocked at even Joe Public's persistent backing of this Saints squad.

Very well may be... but I thought the Saints were supposed to be a trap against Tampa at -3 last week and that did not work out to well.
The defense looked improved for the Saints the rookie CB made some plays which has been lacking in the secondary. Yeah they lose Colston, but they got plenty of depth at WR and Brees will use them all.
Saints win on the road for me

I know...the Raiders are a "Pitiful" team. Sorry...maybe not the best choice words. And yes, they did look impressive on defense in the 2nd half. But can their offense really go back and fourth with the Saints? Hey, I'm not saying I'm on either side of this game, Just figuring out some things for tomorrow, and you gave some great points to why the Redskins are going to win this game. I have a feeling they will win thie game, but I need more to go on to bet them.
