The Super Bowl matchup is set, with Indianapolis and New Orleans getting two weeks to prepare for their championship showdown in Miami. Oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com have already weighed in on their thoughts, installing the Colts as 4-point opening line favorites. That number has since moved to 5.5-points, with Indy getting about 64% of the action according to the BETTING TRENDS page.
As much as the Colts have to take the Jets seriously, I’m sure we can all agree that the Vikings/Saints game is the “heavyweight” battle of the weekend. Two great quarterbacks, two great offenses, two aggressive defenses, two teams comfortable playing indoors…sounds like fun.
Super Bowl odds are giving the advantage in Sunday’s NFC championship game to New Orleans as Minnesota heads to the Superdome to face one of the few crowds in the NFL that may be louder than their own.
The Arizona Cardinals got lucky in round one of the NFL playoffs but sports betting cappers know they’ll need even more breaks in the second round.
Well, that was interesting. Hosting the Packers last Sunday, the Arizona Cardinals treated us to one of the most entertaining playoff games we’ll ever see: a 52-45 overtime triumph that ended up the highest-scoring game in NFL postseason history.
Who would have thought that at this point the New Orleans Saints would be the team that would be faltering, while the Carolina Panthers were coming on strong? Yet if you have looked at the respective performances of these teams the last couple of weeks that might be the conclusion you’d draw.
The New Orleans Saints were embarrassed on national television last week, but now that you take a retrospective look back to their last month of action, you won’t be too surprised.
The Saints nearly lost in Washington and to be frank, sports handicapping bettors felt that that should have been a loss. The Redskins were a chip shot field goal away from sewing that game up but missed and allowed the Saints to roar back.
No two playoff contenders in the NFC are bewildering me more than New Orleans and Dallas. I’m actually pretty serious about this. While New Orleans is perfect, they’ve nearly lost to Washington, St. Louis and Chris Redman.
The New Orleans Saints (12-0 SU, 8-4 ATS, 7-5 O/U) dodged a huge bullet in their 33-30 overtime win over the Washington Redskins in Week 13.
The may not be as fortunate this week against a banged-up, but desperate Atlanta Falcons (6-6 SU, 7-5 ATS, 7-5 O/U) team that would love to take their division rivals down a peg or two this week.
Have any NFL odds gotten as much hype as tonight’s Patriots/Saints matchup? Everyone and his grandson will tune in for tonight’s epic battle. On one hand we have the legendary Tom Brady and Randy Moss taking the national stage to slay Goliath; on the other we have the high-flying Saints trying to stay undefeated at home. Let’s attempt the daunting task of picking a winner.
There’s one guy on the Saints roster that has given Tampa Bay fits throughout the years, and that’s Reggie Bush. No matter how poorly his season is going, Reggie always finds a way to score on the Bucs and steal games for the Saints. But guess who’s on the injury report after missing two practices this week? That’s right – Reggie Bush. Does his absence leave the Bucs a slight opening?

Saints get signature win and look like an elite team:
The New Orleans Saints took on the undefeated New York Jets this past Sunday and came away with a 14 point victory as 7 point home favorites. It appears that no one can stop the balanced offense of the New Orleans Saints, not even Rex Ryan’s attacking 3-4 defense. Drew Brees didn’t have a big day numbers wise as he only threw for 190 yards and one touchdown but he made the big play in crunch time. With Pierre Thomas back healthy the Saints were able to show that the Saints are not just a passing team.
In the only battle of undefeated teams on Sunday, the Saints will host the Jets led by Dirty Sanchez. The best offense in the league will face the against the true number-one defense. The Jets and Bart Scott have allowed just 256.0 yards against total, while keeping teams in check with just 11.0 points allowed. They’ve managed these stats while playing explosive Texans, New England and Tennessee.
