2000* Max Out Total of the Year - Saints/Vikings Over 53
We took a tough loss on Clemson last night going against the Public. Duke proved they were the better team last night and I guess we were due to lose a game after winning 11 of our last 13. The Winning Run is now at 11-3 and we look to improve on that with another 2000* Max Out Game of the Year Play, 2000* Max Out Plays are 3-0 in the Playoffs & will be 4-0 after today.
Will any lead be safe in today's game? I don't think so! While the Vikings have the best defensive line in football I feel their weaknesses is in the secondary. Opponents just can't run on them and that will allow Drew Brees to throw the ball more. When the Saints throw they score and if they have the lead they will continue to score and add on insurance points.
The Vikings will have the more balanced offensive attack. They should be able to run the ball against the Saints front line. The Saints Defense allows 4.6 yards per carry and I am expecting a huge day from Adrian Peterson. Arizona was blown out so bad last week by the Saints, many forgot that Tim Hightower broke a long touchdown run on the first play of the game. They put the Super Dome Crowd in silence. Vikings should be able to run which will open up the play action pass to be wide open!
This game has all the makings of a Track Meet! Perfect Weather Conditions inside the Super Dome, 2 Great Throwing QB's & Strong Running Games! Great offensive weapons like Harvin & Bush! Defenses that like to score the football as well! This game should fly over the total tonight & we going to back it as our 2000* Max Out Total of the Year!

At 3 pm, our selection is on the Indianapolis Colts minus the points over the Jets. This play is largely technical in nature, as the Jets fall into several negative situation based on their performances over the past few weeks. First of all, this will be New York's 3rd straight road game (after playing at Cincinnati and San Diego the past two weeks), and NFL teams have always struggled with this kind of schedule, going 12-30 ATS in the Playoffs over the past 30 seasons, if not an underdog of +10 or more points. Further, New York comes into this game off an upset win over the Chargers (as an 8-point underdog), but NFL single-digit underdogs are a poor 31% ATS in the Playoffs off an upset Playoff win (if they were a dog of +6.5 or more points in that previous game). Indianapolis has been a terrific team all season long and, if you discount its two games vs. the Jets and Buffalo to end the season (when head coach Jim Caldwell rested many of his players), then Indy was 15-0 straight up, and covered 11 of those 15 games. I won't buck those numbers. Take the Colts.
At 6:40 pm, our selection is on the New Orleans Saints minus the points over Minnesota. Although Minnesota drilled Dallas 34-3 on the scoreboard, the game was closer than that, statistically. Minnesota and Dallas both had 16 first downs, time of possession was also virtually the same, and the Vikings only outgained the Cowboys 323 yards to 248. But the difference in the game were three turnovers by the Cowboys, combined with two long touchdown passes to Sidney Rice, and two missed Field Goals by Dallas. Now, I don't mean to completely denigrate Minnesota's victory, but there were certain things that the Vikings will need to improve on, if they are to upset the Saints. For example, Adrian Peterson only managed 63 yards on 26 carries for an average of 2.4 yards per rush. Peterson, of course, is a great running back, but his offensive linemen -- especially on the right side of the Vikings line (e.g., tackle Phil Loadholt) -- did a horrible blocking job against the Cowboys. That's one major area of concern. The other is on defense, where Minnesota is really missing the presence (and speed) of linebacker E.J. Henderson, who suffered an injury in the Sunday night game at Arizona back in December. In his stead is Jasper Brinkley, who is OK against the run, but NOT against the pass, and that's terrible news against Drew Brees and the high-octane Saints' offense. Unless Minnesota is able to establish an effective pass rush (and I don't think they'll be able to do that consistently), Drew Brees will slice-and-dice the Vikings' secondary. Of course, it also won't hurt the Saints to have a noisy Superdome crowd cheering them, not to mention making it difficult for the Vikings to audible from the line of scrimmage. Look for a New Orleans win and cover. Lay the points.
At 6:40 pm, our selection is on the OVER in the Vikings/Saints game. The total has been installed at 52.5, and since 1985, NFL Playoff games with Over/Under lines of 52.5 or higher have gone 'over' the total 71.4% of the time. Of course, we had one of these games last week, when the Saints and Cardinals combined to score 59 points, when the over/under line was 57. Look for another high scoring game here. Take the 'over.'

Minnys defense will not repeat last week’s shutdown of Dallas on the road where the Saint flourish. The Saints have the #1 offense at home. The Vikes have the 13th ranked offense going up against the NFLs 25th ranked defense. Both QBs and WRs for BOTH teams are awesome, top shelf guys. Adrian Petersen for the Vikes is a big playmaker, and Reggie Bush is a big playmaker. There is way too much talent in the offensive arsenal on both teams for this not to go way over the total. My power rating on this game for the total is 64. That is an 11 point overlay. Too much to ignore. When the Vikes struggle on offense, they cut loose Favre and let him do his thing. This may be Brett’s last game and rest assured they will let him do his thing. Play 1.5 Units on the OVER.
