best HF advantage will fluxuate, but often good dome teams are up there because of the noise.

Lambeau is the NFL version of Fenway or Wrigley (only with winning ) The only shrine in the league.

That's what I meant too. Lambeau is arguably the best home field advantage. And during the harsh winters it's without a doubt, the biggest home field advantage.

i'm sorry but i don't see anything "controversial" about katrina


Sub in "adversity" for "controversy". Poor word choice.

Obviously, Katrina was more devastating than any sports "bounty". But you get my point.


And unless it's a playoff game in the dead of winter, the Dome is better homefield advantage than Lambeau. Even then, I think Superdome supporters would have a valid argument.

arguably means debatably, you called him out like it was a no brainer. now it is a no brainer if you are saying which is the best stadium in the NFL, that's why I assumed you meant that.

First of all, I think the harsh winter advantage is grossly over rated. Its only a big factor if its exterme, like the ice bowl, but that's rare, I think it was in the 40's for the NYG game last year and its not worse in GB, than Chicago or Buffalo.

Next, GB lost to the NYG at home in the playoffs last year. They lost to the NYG at home in the playofs in 2007, when's the last time the Saints lost a home playoff game, 1992? I realize they missed the playoffs most of those years, but still.

Just an FYI:

Last 9 home games last year, Saints have outscored opponents 374-171 (8 reg season and 1 playoff). <--- this stat per Mike Detillier via The Herd on ESPN Radio

Saints covered the spread at home 8 out of 8 times last season.

which is exactly why I put another unit on -7 for the saints

Saints at home are MONEY. They don't lose many there and will score some points. I think they get 30 or more against Washington.

There has arguably never been a team as mismatched with their home field as these Packers are with Lambeau Field in January

oddsmaker is a little slower

It's still -7

5dimes lines always seem to move a little faster so I'm always on the lookout

I think I can get it (-7) at -115. 5dimes is taking forever on my phone though.

I've got 1* on saints -7. Justbet still has it there, I may lay more down.

Thinking of parlay:
Saints -7 vs Skins
Lions -7 vs Rams

Lions should win by more than 7 I would think

Locked in the Cowgirls at +4(-117) for a half unit. They will have greater motivation for this game and revenge on their minds.
