Hi

Do you guys think this line will be at -3 or will go back to -4?  I am ready to pull trigger on Saints but rather it be at -3 and don't feel like buying half a point.  Any idea?  Wait or not?

IMO, you'll only get 3 if you want to pay extra juice.

I think it will go down by game time to at least 3 or 2.5!  All the sharps money should be coming on the Vikes taking the points.  GL.

Thats wat I am hoping.  I see majority of consesus online are on Vikes.  The public seems to like Vikes they are the more popular team/pick.

If this line goes to 2.5, I will eat my balls.  If the sharps were going to hit Minny (and I'm not saying they did), then they did it at +4....no sharp is going to take them at +3 when they could have got them at +4.

Thank you for introducing logic to the conversation.

a line can be moved by people other than sharps... just something to think about...

 

i think it is highly likely this line will be 3 somewhere before gametime... and i don't think that will be a good thing for you...

Ice4blood-

Absolutely, but that's not what that other guy said.  Good example was the GB/AZ game.  Just one sided action on GB.  You're not going to get that here to the point where this line is going to -2.5.  You're just not.

you may be right... i still don't see how it is even possible for this line not to go down to 3...

it is way too easy for the people who can break down a matchup to see that this is the worst case scenario for New Orleans... even the books know this is true ultimately, and if nothing else you will see books drop down to (-3) just to grab a little more last minute action on the Saints...

please point to me where the sharps are because if they indeed are jumping on the Vikes at +3 or 3.5, than I'm not sure they're the so called sharps.  The line opened at 4.5 early in the week.  

Search for one of Vanzack's thread...

You will see lots money on the Saints by game time, and it's not because people think they're that good, it's just those who are hoping to hit the middle when the line was first at 4.5

regardless of the line I will be taking the Saints by game time. I just want the best possible line for myself.  I believe these two teams are just about equal.  I really like Saints homefield advantage.  Last time they played on MNF Bush return two kicks for TD's and still lost because our secondary with Jason David back then was terrible.  This time will be different.

as sure as i was the line would get to (-3), i am equally sure it will never be (-2.5)... books would rather get overloaded with one-sided money than risk taking a bath on a middle that spanned across 3 AND 4...

This game imo is pretty much a pick-em game and no matter where the line is at: everybody is pounding the vikings so logically the line will eventually go down by game time.  The only edge the saints have is the crowd noises.  The vikings are used to playing in the dome and on turf.....all of the away losses are outdoor/grass.  GL all.

it can easily go to 3 but pay the price if it swings other way whihc it also might but doubt. already has swung to 3 at a few books. If you like saints that much is it not worth the .5 pt?  or more to the point lay the 3.5 if you are as confident as some of the saints backers here.

since its will be mid to high pt totals 2.5 may not be crucial three seems safe

Take them at 3.5. They're going to cover the spread at 3.5 or 4. My pick of the week. Saints!!!!
