New Orleans at Seattle (01/08/2011)

Saints is a team I know. I watched almost everygame and if I didn't I watched the Highlites and play by play cards. If there is one thing you can be sure of is that Coach Sean Peyton, Brees and the rest of the Saints wrecking crue will win this game. After looking at all my notes without getting too detailed, Saints -6.5 @ the half is a goldmine. Peyton is a Master Mind and very good at not giving a shit if they cover the spread or not. If he and the rest of the staff knows that it is pretty much wrapped up, I see most starters on both sides of the ball being pulled as early as the 3rd quarter. I also wouldn't be surprised if the Saints cover the total with participation of the defense by the 3rd quarter.

I think this game is pretty simple.  If the Saints go to Seattle like the Rams did thinking its going to be a cake walk then the game may remain fairly close.  But if they walk in as the defending Super Bowl Champs and with some pride not wanting to lose to a 7-9 team then the game could get ugly real quick.  There is only three reasons the Rams lost Sunday one they took Seattle a way to lightly, two there receivers couldn't have caught a cold on Sunday little though a football and 3 they didn't keep sustained pressure on Whitehurst the whole game.  I think the Saints will grab a lead this week and bury these SEACHICKENS.  I'm thinking a score of 31-3 or maybe if Seattle gets lucky 31-10.  Just a word to the SAINTS don't take this team lightly   play like its the Super Bowl and you will walk all over this team.

last week it was me and you on the Seahawks against the visiting Rams and we both hit.... I posted about the homefield and special team advantages that Seattle has... I believe we were the only ones in the thread on Seattle

This week I have to take the Saints.... Seattle has not covered as a home dog against good teams.... Falcons (dome team)...... Gmen...... KC....     they only are able to cover against bad teams.... the home field advantage is huge... but against a team like the Saints who can put up 20 on anyone, I just don't see it...

NO's defense is far tougher than the Rams..... were not talking a rookie qb on the road here, we are talking about Drew Brees....

I just see a scenario where NO is up by at least 7 and Whitehurst or Hasselbeck turns the ball over at a key time and hopefully for the underdog backers it doesn't turn out to be a score....

The only way the Saints don't cover is if it snows... even then I'm still weary on Seattle at home....

If this was a neutral field the line would be 14.5 and up.... the sharps definitely figured in the homefield advantage after last weeks Public Massacre.....

Willie, I have been following you all year and your definitely a winner, but I urge you to reconsider lol...

 

GL on whatever you choose

 

Saints Laying anything under 13 for me

27-14 final score

Careful, Saints backers...

 

boy do I love your cute little write ups with all those smiley faces....

I love even more being on the same side as you because it usually wins me money... 

I forgot to add..... always very witty, funny, and entertaining as well

everytime you write quadimodo I laugh out loud in my office

HAWKS +10.5!!!!

Whitehurst vs the Saints?...lol Seattle doesn't have the talent to win this game much less beat the spread. Whitehurst got lucky over the Rams. The Rams aren't even as close in talent wise as the Saints are. Saints all day.

Break & Easy - you can poke fun at me and laugh all you want, but the ladies think my humpback is sexy, and they like the fact that I have a secure job ringing the bell in the cathedral's tower.....

Anyways - I see that BETUS now has this game at 11.5. It literally went up a whole point in about 8 hours. By Saturday morning, with all of the general slack-jaws just blindly picking the Saints for no reason, that should take it up to 12, 12.5, or maybe even 13. That's when I buy the hook, and make it 14.5 - - maybe I'll parlay it with something, maybe I won't - it depends on the situation at the time.

And like I said before - they're still the "division winner" (and I use the term loosely), they're still at home, they're still an NFL team, it's still that loud-ass stadium in a playoff atmosphere, and they're still a double digit dog.......

As a side bet - what's the over/under that the camera pans in on that gaping, festering wound Drew Brees always has on the side of his face? - HA!!!!! I'm just kidding Saints fans, don't get your "Fleur De Lis" all ruffled up!!!!!!!!!

We'll see my friends - good luck.......

Seattle has no offense to compete with Breese and co.

One of the best passing teams vs one of the worst passing defenses, Over 44

I chuckle when I hear how Safeco feild is such a hard place to play.  seattle beat exactly ZERO playoff teams at home and beat the likes of powerhouses Carolina Arizona and SF. 

Atlanta and NYG destroyed them at home.  This is also the same Seattle team that lost by 2 or more TD's  to Denver, Oakland, SF, and ST Louis.

I dont' see them all the sudden turning into a good enough team to stay with the Saints, the same team that just beat the Falcons at an extremely hostile Georgia Dome

 

but.... I still think Drew Brees and the Saints defense get it done... I don't think Whitehurst is going to be able to run 5 yards to the sideline on every 1st down play with Vilma on the field.... like he did Sunday.... that's not gonna get it done...

and if Hasslebeck plays I can't even say it's an upgrade.... (watch he comes in and plays lights out)......

I'm all about the Seattle home tough place to play trend.... and I won on it against the bad teams, and lost on it against the good teams.... Rams are a decent team with a rookie qb on the road..... Saints are a great team with Drew Brees on the road....

Saints laying under 13 for me (despite the public on my side)

SAFECO is a very tough place to score, especially because they don't have endzones and uprights there, just home plate and foul poles. 

If you don't think Hasselbeck is an upgrade you might want to check out his stats against the Saints week 11.  360 yards and a TD isn't too bad.  Oh and so you all know, it's supposed to be awful weather and you're taking a dome team that can't run the ball on the road in the elements in a very loud stadium.  Audibles are going to be tons of fun for Brees.  Tread lightly here, the teams that destroyed Seattle this year NYG, KC, ATL and STL all had dominant running games, the Saints don't have anything close to that.

I meant Tampa, not STL.

You got it twisted.....don't you mean don't have the talent to cover let alone beat the spread....they're getting points !

There was only 1 reason they suck!

Well said my bradah! One thing that most people don't realize is that New Orleans Saints is still a young group of athletes.This team, as far as how they built themselves, was put together by Coach Sean Peyton in 2006. Everyone w/ an exception of 2 defensive players( Sorry can't remember their names) were traded or retired. They flew under the radar all year and that was a good thing. Key to this game is Coaching. Head Coach Sean Payton by far is Superior to the opposing coach and most of  the rest of the coaches in the NFL. FUCKIN GENIUS! Who would call an onside kick to open the second half and got it done. Even the camera man was fooled. He will put right guys on the field and these guys work as a unit on both sides of the ball.

 NUFF SAID 

points per yard stats aren't very impressive for the saints, very equal to seattle's - Turnover Diff. is also equal - this in combination with some trends that i like (Saints are 1-8 ATS vs. a team with a losing record) takes me to the hawks +11

This forum reminds me of when the Giants won their last superbowl. Everyone including I said that the Giants didnt belong in the playoffs and we called the score every week that they would get beat by. Funny thing is all they did was win and beat the best teams including my pats   : (  Im not saying that Sea will win the  superbowl or win  at all but remember these are the playoffs and just cause you are better on paper dont mean didley. Just ask Denver in 1996 and the chargers the past few years.

Saints no running game now with both backs on IR. If sea can stop the run and make the saints one dimensional then it will be a game. If Sea gets behind two scores then kaput. Sea and OV for the large!

 DOGS ON SEATTLE !!!!!!! JUST LIKE PANTHERS COVERING AGAINST FALCONS ???DUDE YOUR POSTS ARE AS BAD AS YOUR PICKS !!! JUST CAUSE YOU ArE BETTER ON PAPER DON'T MEAN DIDDLEY ?????????JUST ASK DENVER IN 1996 ????HAHAHAHAHAOHHHHHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!TRUST ME,YOU'RE SOME DUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBB DOCTOR ! HAHAHAHHA!!!! SAINTS WIN !!!!!!!!
