The Patriots tried to defeat the Colts and hand them their first loss of the year. Now they get another opportunity against the NFC's Saints, who are 10-0 on the season. The Colts won, so the Saints need to win to stay deadlocked with Indy as the only two unbeaten teams in the NFL this season.

 

The Patriots rarely waste these opportunities, and after the Colts loss, they hammered the Jets and now set up to play another big game. The Patriots need this one even more than New Orleans. The Saints are almost guaranteed a bye in the first round and home field throughout. New Orleans has Minnesota to worry about and that is it. The Vikings continued their dominance with a home win against the Bears on Sunday.

SBGglobal Sportsbook has the Monday night NFL football betting odds up for the 2009 Patriots vs Saints game and it's New Orleans that is favored by 1.5 on the point spread with a total set at 57.  We highly recommend taking advantage of the tremendous 30% sign-up bonus that this book is offering while the offer lasts.

 

New England is in the midst of a brutal AFC playoff picture with some 10 teams having a legitimate chance of getting in. New England loses, and they fall downward. A win, will nearly guarantee them a playoff spot with the AFC East division title in near grasp. The betting odds for this game shows the Saints as a 1 point favorite. The Pats are hard to bet against as dogs and I would not be surprised with the road win by New England giving them a concrete chance at playoff contention. The Dolphins lost on Sunday getting New England a great opportunity at the division title.

 

New Orleans was 6-0 at one point against the spread but have since dropped 3 of their last 4 against the spread. I still feel strongly in saying New England has the potential to beat anyone, as they showed against Indy. They let that one get away, and they won't drop the ball so to speak again. Look for New England at 7-3 on the year, to control this game from the opening kickoff.  Pats 30-24.
