Another 4:25pm kickoff next weekend, this time on Fox.

Saints - 6.5 to 7
Money Line: Saints -333/Eagles+260
Total: 45.5

Hurts likely to start at home while New Orleans media reports indicate Drew Brees will be back for the Saints.  Good luck with that.

Now the team will go on a four game winning streak to take the division title.   The rallying cry: "FOR HOWIE!!!"

The Vegas line is probably for Hill starting at qb. If I'm the saints I'd maybe dress Brees but start Hill. They should be able to win this without risking Brees.

Yes, because the sports books are known for their generosity and love of paying out bets.

Every game has bettors on both sides so someone always wins.

I'm just of the opinion that this line looks too good to be true, particularly if Brees is back (it's up to 8.5 BTW).  And now that we know Hurts is starting the picture is even muddier.

As far as I can tell as of now the Saints active QB's are Hill, Siemian and Winston. Wouldn't they have had to announce they were moving Brees off IR by now if he had any chance of starting Sunday?

He's eligible to "officially" return to practice Friday.  They can decide after that.

Something that might be in our favour regarding Brees is that they're already in the play offs anyway, Brees is returning from a rib injury and we have the second best defense in terms of sacks in the league with 38, my guess is they hold him out until they play the much softer d lines of the Chiefs (20 sacks). Vikes (21) and Panthers (18).

+7 is extremely kind from Vegas.

I'll take the Saints minus the points and bet the Over. 

Vegas wins again.

Yeah, it was pretty shocking result. Say goodbye to a top 5 pick.

We have all week, and months of the off season to worry about that. For now let's enjoy a good win against a good team.
