    You bet money on this? If you did it was a bad move

    ...and now you see why I wasn't on the "Atlanta in a blowout" bandwagon.

    Yeah, me too. Difference was you still took ATL to cover.

    in your league? Yeah, I did. Like I said before, I was undecided with the line at 3.5 or 4. If I had been able to get a few more points with the Saints, I definitely would've gone with them.

    it's clear that the Saints are not the same old crappy Saints anymore.

    Point spreads sure are a pain in the ass. I nailed four games this week (Jets +6.5, Bengals +1.5, Saints +3.5 {if it holds up, that is}, and Titans +11). Was very confident with those picks, and then had little to no confidence in all the other games and went 0-8-2. By accident, I should have gotten a few of those right.

    I mean in my league I took Atl but if money was involved I wouldn't even touch this game if I had a choice

    On the other hand, it's rare to nail all the games you're sure about.

    For example:

    I thought Broncos, Redskins, and Cardinals were mortal locks to cover. Only 2 of 3 did.

    Bengals was one of my favorite picks, but not one of my mortal locks.

    I think the NFL rigged this game to make up for the Giants home game last year. There is no way NO should be able to stop Atlanta's rush attack. On the other hand, Atlanta is abandoning the run and Vick ain't fleeing the pocket.

    They are playing on the turf which is slowing down their speed

    No. These teams aren't that different personnel-wise.

    ATL has to abandon the run with the score what it is now.

    These teams are also big rivals.
