Handful?!? Haha!! Wall to wall guests for the entire game. From the NFL, CFB, CBB, and a few musicians. Lots of surprises and the one thing we ALL have in common is we ALL enjoy MNF! https://t.co/xr6Xdr86ha
heh, been there. Might be there again this season. Got burned by the Chiefs yesterday.
3 things kept me off this game.
1) The Saints typically aren't as good on the road. Been that way for years. The just have trouble covering on the road.
2) Brees didn't play well last week, and there were already comments about his arm. More disturbing, they ran several trick plays with Hill throwing the ball in that game early.
3) Michael Thomas being out.
So even though everything on paper said the Saints would win and should cover, my gut said stay away. [Reply]

It sounds to me like your gut said to bet the Raiders. I was pretty confident in this one with Brees not having his security blanket. I thought it would be a little lower scoring from the Raiders but still viewed that as favoring a Raiders cover. [Reply]

Yeah, but I have a rule: never bet on the Raiders. Been screwed too many times. I have the same rule about the Panthers actually. It's a pair of rules I write in very large black Sharpie on the front of every season's new wager notebook. [Reply]

A lot of help from the Saints, but I don't think it can be denied that it was a decisive victory for the Fade. They looked competent and confident. They have a killer running game and a great tight end, and Carr did not look rattled or frightened of anything.
I'm surprised. The Raiders look pretty good. So far. [Reply]
The Saints are built to fast break. When they can't do that, things get dicey.
The Raiders pounded them on the ground, especially late, which is the Saints' kryptonite.
Furthermore, Brees missed some WIDE open throws. He's obviously just done.
Some people will call it a conspiracy, or poor officiating or whatever, but the Saints also had a sloppy game and had over a dozen penalties, most of them 10 yards or more.

The Raiders are an 8-8 team at best.
Perhaps. But they could give the Chiefs some problems. Its not like they dont have any talent. There is definitely talent there. [Reply]
