Yes I understand they are on the road and you can't make them a gigantic have and all that, but SEVEN? The Jags have looked nothing short of awful and I'd love to know how 95% of the action isn't on the Saints here. 

Really baffled at this line.

I'm with you. I think they roll. I'm shocked so many people on here are playing the Jags +7. Apparently they see something I've missed.

The Jags are a bottom-5 team in this league. The Saints are the 2nd best (in my opinion, behind GB).

saints defense sucks, big time. Way too many holes. Jax isn't the team to expoit it, but the Aints are not the 2nd best team.

Looks like 90% of the action IS on the Saints... But the line is dropping. I agree it's strange on the surface, but I smell blood. The books know.. 

Be careful with the Saints Sunday

Guys, no matter what I WON'T be on the Saints. I agree with Andy that it's Jags or nothing. Just trying to get a feel for what other people thought about this seemingly low line.

Saints D sucks? Look at the teams they've played. They played a top-3 offense in GB (without a couple key defenders out due to suspension/injury). They played a great offense in Houston. And they held CHI to 13 points.

The fact that so many people on this site are on Jags just gives me that much more confidence the Saints will roll. 34 - 16

It leads me to believe that the odds-makers are OK with getting hammered by Saints money, aka they may be taking a side on this game.

The Greek even moved OFF of -7 to -6.5 

With what appears to be most of the action on the Saints, either some big money has come in on the Jags and they're trying to even it out with Saints money, which is possible, or they are more than happy to take a lot of action on the Saints at either 6.5 or 7. 

That's worrisome if you're thinking about backing the Saints IMO.

And when you think about the fact that AFC South teams are built to take on a team like NO (Indy), then you can see how the Jags might approach this game. At first I loved NO, but the more I looked into it I've backed away. I think the Over may be worth a look if anything.

I'm assuming it's either sharp money on the Jags or the books may be taking a side here. A lot of people don't think books ever will expose themselves to the risk by taking sides but I personally think they do occasionally. 

BOL whatever your plays are this weekend

saints a top 2 team

Aside from the Ravens, there isn't even a debate as to who the top 2 teams are. NO and GB.

And yes, I watched the NO/GB game. NO had so many turnovers and they still were 1 yard short of overtime.

Who is better than the Saints? NE (awful on D)? Pitt (no run D and really old/injured)? NYJ (way too many issues)?

nice argument. You list 2 of the best teams in football and then say aside from them LOL

Aside from ravens and the packers and the chargers and the patriots and the bills and the raiders and the lions....TELL ME WHO IS BETTER THAN THE SAINTS

Another person suckered in by this bad angle. 

Again, go back to when these teams last played in 2007.  Jacksonville had a better defense and was a playoff team.  Saints had a worse offense than they have now with less playmakers.

Saints still put up 500 yards of offense and 41 points in a blowout. 

Teams can try to build themselves to handle teams like NO (Indy), but it doesn't mean they will.

Saints are the 2nd best team in the league and their defense is fully capable of shutting down Jacksonville.

None of those teams have played a September schedule that the Saints have.  Ravens got blown out by Tennessee.  Chargers had to squeak by Kansas City and Minnesota, got blown out by NE.  Patriots lost to the Bills after leading by 21 (worse D than NO), the Bills had to comeback after being down big to the Raiders and an oveerrated NE.  Lions have yet to face a top 10 opponent.  Packers D  is statistically are worse than the Saints D.  Matter of fact, hardly anyone brought up how bad NE was on defense until now...maybe.

So there you go.

I got -6 1/2 on Legends sports book.

I don't see how this game is close. The Saints dominate this team in every facet.
They will torch them, be efficient on 3rd downs and red zone opportunities and even on special teams the Saints will get great position.
Take the Saints to cover and the Over 45 1/2

What the fuck is going on with this game.  Seriously I dont understand it.  Please anyone give me reasons why Jax has a chance here?  I dont see it and like some say the line is even dropping.  I dont get it.  What the fuck seriously Jacksonville has scored exactly 29 poiints all year!!!  Orleans is averaging almost 35 a game.  How is this spread real?  I really think they giving us the lets make them overthink strategy.  Its the NFL and anyone can beat anyone so its possible Jax does win or cover but common how can how you pass up the possibility of Orleans winning by a mere TD to a lowly Jags squad who cannot score.  I can see a 21-0 1st quarter Orleans easy.

The Saints should Brees to a 38-16 win. Jax will move the ball but drives will stall in the red zone. Not enough playmakers on the Jags.
