New Orleans at Indianapolis (02/07/2010)

Alright guys, This is what I got so far as an overview of these two teams and the opinions of the past weekend.

1) First of all we all have to give credit to the Saints defense, backers or not, in helping in creating those 5 TO's. Farve and A.P. by all means did not intend to give those TO'S away willingly. They were created by presure to the QB, great tackles, and sub-concious mental error caused by the defense. This goes both ways. As an example for the TO by Regie Bush, he was scared of getting hit hard cause he pereferably saw the defense coming to hit him and was unable to secure the ball on the punt return. He put his head down and forgot he had to catch. As far as AD, those were great hits on the ball and good stripping by others. Farve got hit hard all day, I think about 18-20 times and after the first few, it was noticeable that he was hurting. It is human nature to be scared no matter how physically or mentally tough you are.

2) Yes the Saints only won by 3 points and as a Saints fan, I will agree that they got lucky to have gotten that INT in the fourth quarter intead of being down by a FG with only 19 seconds left. One thing I do see as the differense between the 2 winning teams as why their performance was so is that Colts were playing the #1 defense, yes, but a non-rested defense. Jets have been banging it out every week since week 5 I believe. The Vikings on the other hand, although not ranked #1 in defense but still respectable, had a bye week and time to rest. The Saints defense held a team which is capable of scoring in the 40's to just 28 points. The Vikings as well got lucky as I saw many times Saints had the chance of opening up the game by just simply recovering the fumbles instead of trying to pick it up and running. Both QB's as experienced as they were, was throwing balls into coverage that makes you say" What The F@#$".

3) J.Shockey, who is a huge part of the Saints offense, was not a big factor in this game because of the limited playing time due to his knee injury. He will be in against the Colts and healthy enough to make a statement.

As far as head to head in the Super Bowl, At this time, I am leaning towards NO Saints SU win, due to the fact that they have a well balanced team right now. They keep their Running Backs fresh from constant substitution. NE Patriots(Great Passing Team) had a good chance to beat the Colts but one thing that is obviously different from the Patriots is that the Saints is not        "1 DIMENSIONAL" as far as offense. Colts is more of a passing team than a running team, and the Saints "D" has recently proven with proper time to prepare against one team, they get the job done. This game could go both ways but I do think , unbiasly, that the Saints have more arsenal on offense and as a fresh and healthy unit, their defense could be the #4 ranked "D" from early in the season. They create turnovers. Manning is a great QB but Farve is one of the greatest. Saints has had more success ATS and SU against the Colts than the Vikings.

Just my thoughts for right now. Early lean on the Saints SU win and I do see the OVER as a big possibility.

• Really like a tease here with Saints +10.5 and over 50.5 lock!  

I love the avatar since I'm an Eagles fan........but the books are fans of the tease.......worst bet in all of sports......you have to win two outcomes to win even money.......and if you lose you pay around 20% juice.........take the two team parlay......if you lose it's even money on the lose and if you win it's two and a half times your money......it's a no brainer........both outcomes in an in-game parlay NEVER are both outcomes within the tease amount.......and if they are.......great, you played two outcomes to win even money when you could have just picked the outcome or U/O and won the same amount with half the juice at risk........GL though.....I'm just passing on my bookie buds information to everyone........they love to book the teases!!!
