I would bet the over on Reggie Bush receiving yards

Although I have been disappointed with Reggie catching the long ball in pre-season. I believe he will easily catch 425 yards just with YAC from dump offs.

Another one I might consider would be over 9 sacks by Will Smith, with the way he was constantly held on Thursday night.

Give me the under in Alex Brown sacks.

Snap, place, kick! And it's good! It's good! It's goo-hoo-hood! Pigs have flown! Hell Has frozen over! The Saints are going to the Superbowl!

U said It Dr.Whodat

gotta take Reggie on the over 425. 5-1 sweet on NFCCG especially w/Home Field possibilities, I hammered it,NFCCG & SB 5-1 last OCT after we were like 5-0. I’d take 5-1 now fo-sho. All others 10-1 SB sweet, maybe sucker on Alex Smith, wouldn’t want to be pulling v. him late season, bad karma stuff.

I like all those odds

last year we went up against the toughest opponents last year,afc east nfc east,and the toughest the nfc south.followed by having to beat five super bowl attending or winning teams Giants,Pats,Cards,Vikes,Colts,Panthers(those are just the ones we played that still has their SB QB).One of those teams (panthers) who happens to be our thorn in the side.I expect this year to be a record breaking year for the Saints I,d take the over in almost all of those categories. I garantee if bush stays healthly id take those beats anyday this will be his !!Thats why we picked him year!!! Bush always does great with those mid to bad level teams and we got alot of those this year.

Although they were pretty good to begin with...

given the way the Falcons, Cowboys and Colts looked on the first Sunday of the season, I’d say our odds just got a little better to win the NFC South, the NFC Championship and the SB.

All three lost to playoff caliber teams on the road. I’m not going to put a lot of stock in any of those defeats.

Not putting any stock in any of those defeats doesn't have anything to do with the odds shifting.

As Vegas odds are a constantly moving target, I’d be surprised if a bet placed on the Saints winning their DIvision or Conference didn’t offer a smaller pay off this week than the same bet placed last week would have paid. Their odds for the Super Bowl may have improved as well.

The Falcons are the only NFC South team that odds-makers give any legitimate chance of beating out the Saints for the Division. The Packers, Cowboys, Saints and VIkings were given the best odds of winning the NFC Championship by most bookies prior to the the season beginning. Since the Saints and Packers are the only Vegas favorites to have a win after the first week, it will almost certainly have some impact on the betting odds for the balance of this week if nothing else. What the odds will be by mid-season is anybody’s guess.
