...in Monday night's game? I know it's only a three point spread but I'm firmly expecting the Saints to roll unless Brees has multiple interceptions.

3 points for a home team on a national game is basically a pickem.

They give 3 points to the home team...so its basically a pickem as was stated already.

ETA: Which seems about right to me.

I think the fact that its in Minnesota makes it what it is. But many "experts" are talking like the Vikings have the best defense in the NFL and we have the worst offense. I heard someone say, "will the Saints be able to score."

The line hasn't budged on this game since the preseason began. Vegas is not factoring in what all of us homers have seen with our own eyes - the new Defense.

On the other hand though, Snead is going to be missed. Mainly b/c Fleener is so goddamn awful there are only so many people we can count on running routes for us right now.

Still though, get that money with the Saints. Our defense is coming to perform.

Not in the least bit. Both teams have been below average the last few seasons, and this is a Monday night home game for them. What did you expect?

Pass protection is going to be a real challenge for us. I suspect saints are working on the quick game to keep Drew safe.

Honestly the only thing at all that is giving me any doubt about our season is Vegas. Everything that I see myself makes me believe the team will be good. Media is doubting but I don't care. Vegas though? Those guys know what they're doing. Don't feel like they'd miss enough to be that wrong about us. They have us at 8.5 wins I think.

Not a stretch at all. Great pass defense and we all know Brees. Take care of the ball and take home a W!

Vikings went 8-8, 5-3 at home last year. Saints went 7-9, 3-5 on the road. With little tangibles to go on the first game of the year, I'd say a "home team gets 3" pick em seems like a good line. Can the Saints win? Absolutely. But this seems like a solid line.

3 straight 7-9 seasons.

On the road against a very good defense.

In primetime.

Not surprised at all. (Took us +3.5 months ago fwiw)
