Minnesota at New Orleans (10/06/2008)

Here is what my thinking is boys and girls.  MNF has trended on the over for two years running now.  Admit it, like me, you usually take the over if playing the total on MNF.  Now the #1 air attack in the league is at home against a 1-3 team on the road......with Gus throwing it for them...........but wait a minute.......Gus has 420 yards passing in two games now and those were games against Tenn and Car???   Meanwhile........"back at the Hall of Justice"........NO is the 29th ranked team against the pass and 19th(bottom half of the league) against the run  Give me a TO!!!!  Mr. Peterson is coming to town tonight........and running the ball to Baton Rouge by the time it's done!!! 

This awesome NO offense is 2-2 SU........they have racked up the increadible passing numbers against TB(22nd pass, 12 run d) Wash(21st pass, 9th run d) Den(30th pass, 25th run d) and SF( 20th pass, 22 run d).    No team they have faced is higher than 20th in the league against the pass!!!  Minn is a least right in the middle curve at 16th against the pass!!  And that is after playing GB, Ind, Car, and Tenn!!!  And after facing those teams, and leading Ind 15-0 in the mid 4th quarter.......and handing Car thier only lose of the season 20-10.........they are allowing only 20 points per game while ranked 2nd in the league against the run......which will equate to pressure on the QB. 

Oh......and sad ol' Gus is at QB tonight right......old and helpless with no recievers..........against the 29th ranked pass D in the league!!!! 

Give me Minn and the defense and running game they will bring to town.  And the old, worthless, washed up QB that has no recievers to throw to........but will throw for just enough yards and hand it off all night against that crap pass D and a defensive line that is missing both DT's tonight!!!  I'm also taking the under because most people will be on the over, well.......and for everything I took the time to research and list above. 

But if I was just doing my typical MNF routine........I would bang the Saints and the over........because the Saints are always the over bet!!!    GL everyone!!!

On to the game. The Vikes are in trouble. AP is a stud, but when you've got 8 defenders spying him and no QB to take advantage of the defensive scheme, you're in deep doo doo. The Saints can score and they will. Perhaps AP busts a run or two and if he does, you've got your over. Just my opinion on the game and I wish everyone good luck tonight.

Good week to change your avatar my brutha!!  I was nervously gulping my gin thinking about my Cain backin friends pushing back hard in that game.  I thought they were going to get it done at the begining of the 4th quarter.  Now, it's my turn to go down to Carolina and get beat by those powder blue flakes next week.........Irish nation will be brought back down to Earth and given a healthy dose of "shut the f--- up!!!!!"
