drew brees vs brett favreLooking at the betting numbers from the NFC Championship wagering game between the Vikings and Saints at Sportsbetting.com. While the AFC Championship features greenhorn Mark Sanchez against wily vet Peyton Manning, the NFC title wagering game will see two experienced QBs going head to head in the New Orleans Saints’ Drew Brees and the Minnesota Vikings’ Brett Favre.

Going into Sunday’s tilt, online sportsbooks have New Orleans listed as 3.5-point sports wagering odds home faves with the Total currently set at 53. The Saints are favored by a field goal in first half betting and the Total for the first two quarters is set at 26.5. SPORTSBETTING.com is reporting balanced action on this game, much more so than the AFC matchup between the Jets and Colts.
 
The NFC’s Top 2 seeds performed similarly in the NFL divisional playoff round, handily defeating their opponents. The Saints covered as 7-point home faves as they defeated the Arizona Cardinals 45-14 and the Vikes stopped Tony Romo and the surging Dallas Cowboys in a 34-3 win — Minnesota covered as a 3-point home favorite.
 
Let’s look at some betting numbers from this matchup and the NFC Championship Wagering Trends:
 
 - In their last nine games overall, Minnesota has the edge over New Orleans, going 8-1 straight up and 6-3 against the spread.
 
- The last nine games between these two teams have produced 1 Over, 7 Unders and 1 Push. .
 
 - New Orleans has a record of 14 Overs and 3 Unders in their last 17 starts vs. teams from the NFC North.
 
 - The Saints are only 3-8 ATS in their last 11 starts.
 
 - The last 11 January road games have not been kind to Minnesota and its bettors, as the Vikings are 1-10 SU and 1-10 ATS.
 
 - The Saints haven’t been too sharp either though in January, as they are only 4-9 SU and 3-10 ATS.
 
 - The last 13 times New Orleans has been favored by 4-points or less, it has been a boon for bettors, as they boats a record of 10-3 ATS. In this situation, they have scored 11 Overs and 2 Unders.
 
 - Minnesota, on the other hand, has burned a hole in bettors’ pockets in their last 13 games when underdogs of +4 or less; as they have a record of 3-10 SU and 3-8-2 ATS in that situation.

Patriots vs Saints Wagering Odds Monday Night Football

patriots cheerleadersPlanning a Super Bowl party this year? You might want to use this week’s Monday Night Football Wagering matchup as a good opportunity for a trial run, as we could be watching a Super Bowl preview.  

The Saints (10-0) are in the midst of the best season in franchise history and the Pats, short of a fourth quarter choke at Indianapolis two weeks ago, seem poised to challenge for another title in February. 

The offensive explosiveness possessed by each team has forced online sportsbooks to post a total of 56.5 and still the sports betting public is wagering on the "Over", as many sportsbooks are reporting heavy action on the high side.  

New Orleans averages 420 yards per game and 36.9 points. It’s down from their record breaking average of 39-plus points per game the team rode until Week 7 but still more than five points greater than the second place Minnesota Vikings. 

New England ranks second in average yardage per game at 416 and with the best one-two wide receiver combinations in the league, the Pats can stretch the field against the greatest of defenses. Wes Welker had a super game against the Jets last week catching 15 balls for 192 yards. Welker makes blitzing Brady a real challenge for teams. His short underneath game sets up the long ball for Randy Moss. Moss is pretty much impossible to cover one-on-one and when he gets the double team, it usually creates a mismatch for Welker.  

The New Orleans Saints remain a -2 wagering odds home favorite against the New England Patriots at the Superdome. Watch all the Monday Night Football Wagering action live at 8:30pm ET on ESPN.


The Saints receiving corps is almost as impressive with Marques Coltson, Devery Henderson, Jeremy Shockey and Robert Meachem. Speaking of matchup problems, these four receivers will present some for the Patriots secondary. The Saints are hoping Reggie Bush can go coming off a knee injury. The early reports have him playing and if he is ready he can be a difference-maker, but usually plays a secondary role in the offense most games (ain’t that right Fantasy players). 

This is a great coaching matchup with maybe the two brightest coaches in the game matching wits for the first time. Sean Payton is as creative an offensive coach as Belichick is a defensive strategist. Don’t expect Belichick to go for a 4th and short deep in his own end in this game but expect some interesting wrinkles from both coaches.  

And of course the field generals need no introduction, with Tom Brady and Drew Brees probably guaranteeing this game gets the highest ratings of the regular season. Brady has more experience in winning the big game but the Saints have been charging hard all year and not one team has been able to top Brees’ offense to date. 

Both teams have consistent, not spectacular, run games and while each squad has shown vulnerabilities on defense this year we have to expect them to bring their A-game to the dome on Monday Night. 
 
This should be a great game. Good luck with your bets and check out SPORTSBETTING.com for a 110% sign-up bonus!!

NFL Wagering New England vs New Orleans Odds

bill belichickESPN got itself a dandy Monday night wagering contest tonight, as the Saints look to stay unbeaten when they host the Patriots. Of course, New England knows a little something about enduring the pressures of being an undefeated team, having gone 16-0 just two years ago. HC Bill Belichick’s Patriots team is a 1-1/2 point wagering odds underdog, and at least on paper, looks like the biggest remaining threat to the Saints quest for perfection. Bettors at Sportsbook.com seem to be split as 49% of the action is on the Saints.

Obviously the QB matchup will get top billing, as both teams’ offenses come in flying high, hence the large ‘total’ of 57 points. New England averages 29.0 PPG but has scored 37.2 PPG over its L5. New Orleans’ offense has been the most prolific since ironically, the ’07 Patriots, averaging PPG through its 10-0 start. This will be the Saints toughest task to date, as HC Bill Belichick’s team nearly sent Indy to its first loss two weeks ago. HC Sean Payton’s team is 7-0 ATS in its L7 vs AFC foes and has eclipsed the 21-point mark in 18 straight games at home. The Patriots are 6-0 ATS under Belichick in the second half of the season vs incredible offenses scoring >=29 PPG.

Drew Brees helped run New Orleans’ mark to a perfect 10-0 by throwing three more touchdown passes in a 38-7 win at Tampa Bay last Sunday. The Saints have proven to be one of the more well-rounded offensive teams in recent memory, and the ground game piled on 183 yards and two scores.

New England’s strength remains the trio of Tom Brady, Wes Welker and Randy Moss, which continues to rip apart any and every defense. Welker was the man most often in Brady’s sights last week, grabbing 15 balls for 192 yards as New England wiped out the Jets, 31-14.

Defensively, the addition of coordinator Gregg Williams has worked wonders in the Bayou, where an emphasis on being aggressive and forcing turnovers has been met with open arms. Led by Darren Sharper (seven interceptions), the defense has forced 29 turnovers, and returned seven (five interceptions, two fumbles) for touchdowns. By comparison, the Patriots have gotten old in a hurry and lack a consistent pass rush (18 sacks). Giving Brees any extra time in the pocket is a sure recipe for disaster and one even head coach Bill Belichick may not be able to fix.

New England’s trip to New Orleans is its first since 1998, and five of the last six have been played in Foxboro. Trailing in the series overall (8-3), the Saints have also lost the last three meetings.
