Who Dat???
I already mentioned that I took NEW ORLEANS(-3)over new england. Well, today bodog.com finally let the line move, and now I also have
NEW ORLEANS(-2)over new england. If I'd bet a little sooner I could have had the Saints at (-1.5), but the line moved back to 2 while I was thinking about it. Right now the Saints lead 10-7, which would win one bet, and push the other. What has me concered, though, is that New England has done an excellent job of running the ball tonight, and already have converted at least two 4th downs by running up the middle. My reasoning for favoring the Saints was that they had a more effective running game, and therefore would be able to run out the clock when they had a lead, while the Patriots would be unable to do the same, and would have a hard time keeping a lead. New England running effectively punctures my theory.
On the other hand, Drew Brees just completed a 75 yard TD pass to Devery Henderson, putting the Saints up 17-7. If New England is down their ability to run becomes irrelevant. The Henderson score was especially thrilling for me, as it didn't go to Marques Colston, who is starting for my fantasy opponent. Not only does it help my chances of winning my bets, it doesn't hurt my fantasy prospects. Really, it helps, because it gets the ball to Tom Brady, who eventually will score me some points. So far Saints safety Roman Harper has outscored Brady for me. Not sure how I feel about this.
Drew Brees just completed a 38 yard pass to Robert Meacham for another TD. Again, I'm thrilled the pass wasn't to Marques Colston.
I was asleep last night when the Ravens beat the Steelers 20-17 in OT, winning me both ends of my double tease, as the total ended between the teased over and the teased under. After going 1-2 on college this weekend, right now I could be 4-1-1 on the pros, if you count both my Ravens bets, and both these chickens that haven't hatched.
Those chickens have hatched, but so did Colston, for 122 yards and a TD on four catches. I lost two points overall on the night for my fantasy team, as the Saints roared to a 38-17 win.
