Philly -3 vs New Orleans

Anybody else really like this play? I know that New Orleans is 4-1 and playing at home, but it just seems to me like they aren't on the same level as a team like Philly. The only thing that's bothering me about this is that it's reminding me alot of the KC line last week. Thoughts?

I really like it. Squeaking out a win over TB is not impressive.

Would you still like it if it went up to -3.5 (105)?

I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but NO should be a slight favorite to win.

pirateboy, my rankings show the Eagles should be a small favorite on a neutral field. Factor in home field advantage and the Saints should be the ones laying a small number. Throw into the mix the likely letdown of Philadelphia and I figure I'm getting a good deal with New Orleans.

Why don't you feel they're on the same level? The spread indicates that they're not on the same level btw i.e. the spread indicates that the Eagles are a significantly better team. So maybe the line is about right.

I think Philly is gonna be this week's BSP special.

I would have agreed, but Bodog is starting to lower the juice on NO at 3.5. Granted it is still 12cent more than Pinny's line.

Joe Blow is betting NO now? I am really thinking of taking NO and hopeing for a middle.

You know, I'm a little nervous about my picks....

I have one combined bankroll with my GF. We put 2 units on Philly -3.
With my separate roll I teased NO to +9.5 with Cinn pick. Call me crazy, but those are my bets [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

my prediction: Eagles 27 Saints 20

Other game: Cinn > Tampa
