Norleans / Cards

[SIMON]

I basically broke the game down home vs road.

Cards
(7-9)...Jax...win...31-17
(5-11)..Seattle...win...27-3
(8-8)...Giants....win...24-17
(7-9)...Bears....win...41-21
(1-15)...St.Louis...win...21-13
(8-8)...Tenn...loss...17-20
(8-8)...SF....loss...9-24
(2-14)...Detroit....win...31-24

Where is the road win against a playoff team ? Or for that matter a road win with a team with a + .500 record ? Against .500 teams the Cards are 1-2 Straight up...not a lot of Data...but they have had a weak road schedule.

Saints
(2-14)...Detroit...win...45-27
(9-7)....Jets...win...24-10
(8-8)...Giants....win...48-27
(9-7)...Atlanta...win...35-27
(8-8)...Carolina...win...30-20
(10-6)...NE....win...38-17
(11-5)...Dallas...loss....17-24
(3-13)...Tampa....loss....17-20

A tougher schedule with three games at home against playoff cailber teams. Against Playoff teams at home during the regular season they are putting up an avearge of 28 points a game.

I've capped the game at 31-20...with Zona being dead last in the league against the run...I feel the Saints will use Reggie Bush more and keep Warner on the sidelines...tick tock goes the clock. I also feel that last week that Green Bay had to abandon the run with Grant because they fell behind by so many points...this won't happen here. Saints control the game and tempo from the opening kick off in that crazy noisy dome. Brees + Bush = win. They slowly outscore them in 3 of the 4 quarters and slowly pull away.

Saints -7
Saints (ML -290)

Arizona is dead last in the league against the run??? Would love to know where you are finding your stats. Check out NFL.com. In the regular season, Arizona was 17th and the Saints were 21st against the run.

In addition, you're concerned about the Cardinal's road wins. No matter what, its hard to win on the road in the NFL! Yet the Cardinals were 6-2. And those two losses were not played in a dome! Warner is the best QB EVER to play in a dome (and on average the best QB every in the playoffs). Do you really want to bet against him JUST because the Cardinals weren't able to face a great team on the road this year?

You bet the Cards and I'll bet the Saints...Good Luck...please post here when they win...thank you.

This is why I rarely take the time to post my plays around here anymore. I read uninformed posts from cocky little kids like you! Win or lose, you are misinfomed with your "last in the league against the run" post and your thought process regarding road vs. home teams faced this year. If you use these so-called "strategies" in the long term, you will lose more than just the allowance that you receive from mommy and daddy.

Good luck just the same but your reply to my legitimate quetions ticked me off.

Gotta admit Simon, you are skewed on your stats there bro. New Orleans gave up 123 ypg on the ground compared to Arizona's 111.....:shrug:

However, I do agree with you about the road wins for each team, more importantly their common opponents on the road. There is a distinct scoring advantage with New Orleans there.

The Superdome is going to be rocking.....by far the best team that New Orleans has had in a long time, if not ever. Arizona has nothing.......absolutely nothing to keep the Saints out of the end zone. Can Arizona keep up with them????? Today, I don't think so. They should have been smoked last week against the Packers........don't expect the Saints to spot them 17 points. Even at that.....they should have lost.

I love the Saints today.......I love the overs too. Saints score in the 40's.........:mj06:
