In the immortal words of Rick James, it don't matter.
Our losses have been by 1, 11, 3 and 1 point. That's an average of 4 points difference per loss. Which is skewed somewhat by the Chargers result. Those teams have a winning record of 25-9, a winning percentage of 73.5% which compares quite well to the Saints 75%
Why,pray tell, would the Saints be favored "much higher"?
By basic capping skills, it should be NO -10 or so. The reason it is a bit lower is due to their strength of schedule to this point. Also, add in the equation of the Cowboys narrow losses. Mixed in with a NO questionable defense and a sporadic Dallas offense, you get a line of -7, give or take. This line is where it should be, it gets action on both sides.

Now you're just making up numbers.Playing in that Dome is a 7 pt plus advantage.
The emotional and tactical advantage Ryan brings...throw in another 5 points
Drew versus our D...how is that not another 400 yards?
Our one great hope is injuries and limitations along the Saint's o-line...along with DeMarcus' return permits us to bring serious heat. Without it this game could get ugly.
They opened the week at 11pt underdogs,,,, betting against the spread contributed to much of the drop,,,, I think,,,, dont know much about point spreads but the odds makers adjust the spread based on thebets that roll in to cover themselves,,,, right?
Now you're just making up numbers.
The odds are on their side. But they still have to play the game. We will likely need 2-3 turnovers IMO.

It's not necessarily the number of turnovers that's important, it's the turnover differential. We'll have to be +3 at least
our pass D vs. their pass O plus they're the home team... sounds about right, actually the line should probably be higher
I looked Tuesday morning and the line was @ 7
We are going to go in there, and get a ****ing win!!!!!!!
They are hard to beat in that dome.
But fwiw, they have only one win all year vs a team with a winning record.
Hopefully it stays that way.
We havent beaten one winning team
