Lets look CLOSELY at the Saints last 5 games....
@ Miami
-Awesome come from behind victory but they were badly outplayed in the first half. The Dolphins proved that if you pressure Brees, he WILL make mistakes
Vs NYG
-Clearly they destroyed the Giants in every aspect of the game. BUT the Giants do not seem to be what we thought they were...
Vs NYJ
-You could argue they actually got outplayed in this game. If not for the Sanchez bonehead mistakes, this would of been a very, very close game.
@ Buff
-Was a 3 pt game going into the 4th and Buffalo collapsed leading to an easy Saints win.
The bottom line is this....
Yes the Saints are a very, very good team but they can be beaten. How often do you see a +500 team that actually has a chance to win? If the Falcons can force a couple turnovers, they very well can be in this game at the end.
May take a shot on the ML....
This trade most likely means they will not be able to resign Turkoglu. Meaning....
Additions - Carter
Losses - Turkoglu, Alston, Lee
Yes VC is a good scorer, no doubt about it. But I have my doubts whether he makes a team better at this stage of his career. I'm a Nets fan and obviously the Nets had no hope to win, but I truly believe the Magic lose more with the players they lose then what they gain with V.C. They will still be a very good team, but not as good as people think. I CAN'T WAIT for the nba season win totals to come out. The Magic over/under will be ridiculously high and I will be pounding the under. The perception of V.C. coming to the Magic is that it will make them a better team, and I can't disagree more.
.....Didn't think so.
Look I am the first person to say that there are NO easy bets out there and HATE HATE HATE it when people use the "L" word, so I don't want to come off as over-confident in my play. There is a reason it is called gambling as any bet can lose.
With that being said, the Wings are 12-2 so far in the playoffs to the over, if you set their team total at 2.5. (8-2-4 if you set it at 3) Yes I know Huet played well coming into the game in relief, but let's see if he can keep it up for a full game. Even when the Wings were down 3-0 last game, I still knew it was possible for them to reach 3 goals. Within a 4 minute stretch, the bet went from a huge long shot to a win. That is what I love about this team. They have the fire power to strike at any moment and you can never count them out.
Playing the Wings team totals have been very very very good to me in the playoffs, and I see no reason to stop now. Like I have said every time I have made this play, there is a better chance they finish with 3 goals instead of 2.
Wings TT Over 2.5 (-140)
