NFL Sunday
Got two on BPO but I'm playing these as well:
I really like the Saints under 44ish (would take down to 42 1/2). Cleveland's defense is better than it looks and they will pound the ground on the ball to keep Brees off the field. If New Orleans gets the big lead, they will just run Ivory to end the game in the 4'th and Cleveland won't exactly come storming back.

I looked long and hard at the Monday night game and I was dead on last week when two desperate teams played (Dallas/Minny). In a do or die game for Dallas and a must win for the Giants, I have to advocate we play on Dallas. They simply have to have this game and in my opinion, have the better talent offensively. Eli has had one good game against dallas that I can remember and their run game is not what it used to be. I'm still amazed that they don't utilize Brandon Jacobs more to start the game and then bring in the speedier Bradshaw as the game progresses. I keep thinking that if the thug stayed out of jail for shooting himself with a pistola, the Giants offense would be much stronger this year. Hakeem nicks has had a fluke season and I don't expect it to continue on monday night. Look for Dallas to make a statement in a game they must have on Monday night.
