I do a lot of research and analysis. I have a excel spreadsheet of all my wagers since 9/25..you more than welcome to look at them yourself.

Straight Wagers since 9/25

24 – 11  68.57%

Straight Wagers since 10/2

14 – 5  73.68%

:: EARLY PREDICTION ::

As of now I am going with the Vikings and the under. I am going with the theory that defense and running the ball wins games. If the Vikings can control the clock then they keep the Saints off the field. Brees can throw TD's from the sideline...actually I don't think its ever been done by any QB.

 

Prediction:

 

Vikings 23

Saints 21

 

Now, the other side to that…if Saints get out to an early lead and the Vikings have to pass to win, they have no chance.

 

 

I am with you my friend. Hope you are right on this one.. My Vikings need this game. BOL

Isn't it about time the Under hit on MNF? I think over is 5 - 0 so far this year... 

Public is always on the over on Monday night, yet the line dropped half a point... mmmmmm....

Small play on the Under for me

Every Sunday night right before bed I feed my dog tons of food.  Then on Monday morning if the dog shit in the house then i know to take the home team in MNF.  If it shits outside then take away team.  The bitch held it in and hammered my lawn so Im hammering the MIN ML.

(47.0) MINNESOTA 23
(-3.0) NEW ORLEANS 21

LIKE THE VIKES, AND HERE ARE MY RESONS.
1. VIKES BRYANT MCKINNIE RETURNS TO THE LINE UP AFTER 4 GAME SUSPENSION. A GREAT RUNNING ATTACK BECOME LETHAL VS A SAINTS 29TH RANKED RUSH DEFENSE.
2. ADRIAN PETERSON IS A BLU CHIP RUNNING BACK AND COULD RUSH FOR ALMOST 200 YARDS.
3. IF THE SAINTS PLAY 8 IN THE BOX. QB GUS FERROTTE, THE VETERAN THAT HE IS, WILL FEED OFF THE PLAY ACTION PASS, AND WILL EXPLOIT NEW ORLEANS SUSPECT SECONDARY.
4. MINNESOTA IS A TOP DEFENSE, AND THE SAINTS MAYBE SLOWED DOWN OFFENSIVELY.

RECOMMENDATION: PLAY THE VIKES AND TAKE THE POINTS.

MONEYLINE: MINNESOTA
ATS WINNER: MINNESOTA +3.5 ( I bought it to 4)
OVER/UNDER: UNDER 47

I like AP over 108 1/2 yards alot. Saints allow 122 rush yards a game, Minnesota just got their tackle back and Saints lose a starting D linemen.

Saints First Half Huge, stickin with Big Daddy's style.  Got burned by Denver yesterday with same bet... Let's get this $$$$ Brees. 

I see Saints 17-7 first half. Nothing but a hunch.

 Watch! What in the heck are you doing?
 
 
Dancing, man! It's good for cardio. I've got to stay in shape. I'm trying to get my work out on before Monday Night Football comes on. There's supposed to be some nice spread at the party, 6 foot long subs and chips and dips and kegs of Heineken.
 
 This is a reach, but have you reconsidered your pick for the game?
 
 Naw. I'm still looking for the Vikings to get the cover, and maybe win it outright. It's a new week and I have to start out on the right foot. I got creamed last weekend. And then I went ballistic on a camera crew. So now my agent has told me I have to spruce up my public image and be more approachable.
 
 Do you think that you'll take the Seahawks on the road in an East Coast game again?
 
Naw. I'm cool on that, but I will take them next week considering the blowout loss they took.
 
Could you tell us what you plan to do in NFL picks this week?
 
Slight lean on garbage teams this time. Seattle, Oakland, Houston and Cleveland on next Monday. Stop laughing at me. Matter of fact that is the end of this interview

     That's great.  Truly.  Rather than having a goose that lays golden eggs, you've got a dog that lays golden shits. 

I've got my own system.  But I'll just keep it to myself.  Anyway, there's not way it's half as entertaining as your method you go going there.

Having a great quaterback can make all the difference, just look at Big Ben in last night's game.  But having a great runningback can be just as much of a difference-maker.  And tonight I'm going to choose the runningback.

I agree with the last part. SAINTS jump out to an early lead and AP and the running game don't have a chance to get going. Sorry, but the public is right on this one. I hate to say it, but they are.

Saints & Over on my parlay ticket

Normally running the ball runs a lot of clock, but with Adrian Peterson breaking off big runs you've got quick scores and along with Brees doing his usual pick 'em apart... I like the OVER

If Kerry Collins can put up almost 200 yards, with no name WR's and score 30 points! Imagine what Bree's will do tonite! Give the points, take the Saint's at home tonite!
