this is the first time the defending champs have played vs a team exactly one letter above them alphabetically in the season opener, so you pretty much have to throw those stats out the window. this is uncharted territory

pinny has Saints -4.5 right now.........6 bout the worst number all week. Still don't like Vikes +6 though either. No bet for me tonight.

Saints beating Indy = Vikings are doomed. Relevant stats say so.

Harry Connick Jr. making sure that the Saints get the Katrina power going already. I take it back. As long as they keep talking about it like it's relevant to football, the Saints are probably going to win like 4 or 5 more Super bowls. Dammit.

It's a honor to share this joyous day with you all. Brett Favre will lead the Vikes to a 31-28 win over the Saints tonight IMO.
