Drew Brees: 2001 Draft Day Picks
Posted by: | CommentsDrew Brees was born on January 15, 1979 in Austin, Texas. Although Brees is not the biggest or most athletic quarterback in the NFL, he is surely one of the best. Since his early days he has been forced to prove that hard work and determination can outshine things such as athleticism and size. And one thing is for sure; Brees has been doing this successfully for quite some time.
Brees played his high school ball in Austin, Texas at Westlake High School. During his senior season Brees led his team to a 5A Division II State Championship. They finished the season undefeated; the only time that the school has ever accomplished this feat.
Although he was recruited heavily out of high school, Brees decided to play his college ball at Purdue University. When everything was said and done he had set many records at both Purdue, as well as the Big Ten Conference. These records include most passing yards in a career with 11,792, completions with 1,026, and touchdowns with 90. And those are just the major records. Brees also won many awards during his time at Purdue, and led the team to several bowl games including the Rose Bowl in 2001.
In the 2001 NFL Draft Brees was not chosen until the 32nd overall pick by the San Diego Chargers. Teams were worried that he may be a bit small to play quarterback in the league as he is only 6 foot tall.
Brees did not have the chance to play much his rookie season, but this changed in year two. During this season he passed for more than 3,000 yards and 17 touchdowns. In 2003 his numbers fell off quite a bit, but ever since then they have been back on the rise. He posted his best season ever in 2006 with the New Orleans Saints. During this year Brees ended with 4,418 yards on 554 completions. This was in addition to 26 touchdowns with only 11 interceptions.

Falcons at Saints: Monday Night Football Picks
Posted by: | CommentsDivisional matchups have been the order so far this season on Monday Night Football and this week the Atlanta Falcons are in New Orleans to close off the Week 8 NFL betting card. It’s the first meeting of the season for these two NFC South rivals who split the series in 2008 with the home side winning each contest straight-up and against the spread.
The undefeated Saints (6-0) are one of only two remaining team in the league with a perfect record after the Denver Broncos lost on Sunday in Baltimore (Indianapolis (7-0) is also perfect after an 18-14 win vs. San Francisco). You can check all of Sunday’s scores and recaps at ESPN.com
For the sports betting community, if you are looking at betting on an undefeated team this late in the season, it means you’re going to be laying points, probably a lot of them. That is the case in this matchup, as the online sportsbooks pegged the Saints as double-digit favourites.
The Saints have been attracting a lot of the betting action throughout the week, as the line has moved all the way up to -12. Online sportsbook SPORTSBETTING.com reported 78% of all the betting volume on the Monday nighter had come in on New Orleans as of late Sunday night.
NFL Trends: Road favorites in Week 7 were 7-0 SU/ATS including the Patriots at Tampa Bay, even though it was neutral site game, and it wasn’t by small margins that the chalk teams were winning or covering, either. San Diego, Indianapolis, Green Bay and the New York Jets won by a combined margin of 132 points – that’s 30.5 points per game!
Results this Sunday (Week 
by big home favorites like the Colts and Chargers, who both won straight-up but failed to cover the big spreads, did little to sway bettors away from New Orleans and it could have something to do with the Saints performance last week in Miami.
Trailing 24-3, the Saints offense went to work while the defense stymied the Wildcat and New Orleans made a statement. Starting with a QB Drew Brees rushing TD in the final seconds of the first-half, New Orleans went on a 43-3 run lasting 28 minutes to cement the win and become the first NFL team in history to score 45-plus points in four of their first six games.
Atlanta was in Dallas last week and learned what an explosive offense can do when the Cowboys put up 37 points – the most points the Falcons have allowed in the Mike Smith-Matt Ryan era. Recent success, or lack thereof, by double-digit favorites on Monday Night has done little to sway the tide of bettors from New Orleans, but since Week 6, 2006 there have been 10 double-digit favorites and they are just 2-8 ATS.
This is the seventh divisional Monday Night game of the 2009 season and favorites through the first six games are 4-2 SU but only 2-4 ATS. All six games have gone “Over” the posted total and in fact the only Monday Night game this season that did not land on the high side was Carolina at Dallas in Week 3.
The posted total for Atlanta-New Orleans is one of the highest bettors will see in the NFL but if the Saints keep scoring the way they have been, it could be a sign of things to come.
NFL Picks: Looking at the matchup, I’m going to be taking the big points and hoping the Falcons can keep this one close. Good luck with your bets on the big game.
It’s as simple as that! Even though the sports betting industry is replete with systems and schemes, Sportsbetting.com appears to be the real deal and should be closely examined by all online sports bettors. An excellent way to stay one step ahead of other bettors and to be on top of the success chart is to stay well-informed of the latest sports betting news.http://www.sportsbetting.com
Patriots Vs. Saints: Monday Night Football Live Picks
Posted by: | CommentsPlanning a Super Bowl party this year? You might want to use this weekâs Monday Night Football matchup as a good opportunity for a trial run, as could be watching a Super Bowl preview.
The Saints (10-0) are in the midst of the best season in franchise history and the Pats, short of a fourth quarter choke at Indianapolis two weeks ago, seem poised to challenge for another title in February.
The offensive explosiveness possessed by each team has forced online sportsbook to post a total of 56.5 and still the sports betting public is wagering on the “Over”, as many sportsbooks are reporting heavy action on the high side.
New Orleans averages 420 yards per game and 36.9 points. Itâs down from their record breaking average of 39-plus points per game the team rode until Week 7 but still more than five points greater than the second place Minnesota Vikings.
New England ranks second in average yardage per game at 416 and with the best one-two wide receiver combinations in the league, the Pats can stretch the field against the greatest of defenses. Wes Welker had a super game against the Jets last week catching 15 balls for 192 yards. Welker makes blitzing Brady a real challenge for teams. His short underneath game sets up the long ball for Randy Moss. Moss is pretty much impossible to cover one-on-one and when he gets the double team, it usually creates a mismatch for Welker.
The Saints receiving corps is almost as impressive with Marques Coltson, Devery Henderson, Jeremy Shockey and Robert Meachem. Speaking of matchup problems, these four receivers will present some for the Patriots secondary. The Saints are hoping Reggie Bush can go coming off a knee injury. The early reports have him playing and if he is ready he can be a difference-maker, but usually plays a secondary role in the offense most games (ainât that right Fantasy players).
This is a great coaching matchup with maybe the two brightest coaches in the game matching wits for the first time. Sean Payton is as creative an offensive coach as Belichick is a defensive strategist. Donât expect Belichick to go for a 4th and short deep in his own end in this game but expect some interesting wrinkles from both coaches.
And of course the field generals need no introduction, with Tom Brady and Drew Brees probably guaranteeing this game gets the highest ratings of the regular season. Brady has more experience in winning the big game but the Saints have been charging hard all year and not one team has been able to top Breesâ offense to date.
Both teams have consistent, not spectacular, run games and while each squad has shown vulnerabilities on defense this year we have to expect them to bring their A-game to the dome on Monday Night.
NFL Picks: Pats vs. Saints – After breaking this one down, Iâm making a bet on the home team New Orleans Saints laying 1-point. I think they will have a little more success moving the ball, and also get a couple of key stops from their defense.
Enjoy the big Monday Night Football game.

NFL Week 15 Picks & Betting Previews – Dallas Cowboys vs New Orleans Saints
Posted by: | Comments
The NFL will have a rare Saturday game this week and itâs a good one. After Indy stayed undefeated on Thursday night, the focus now shifts to the Saints on Saturday.
The Dallas Cowboys are in the Bayou to play New Orleans Saints. Online Betting SPORTSBETTING.com currently has the visitor as 8-point underdogs with an Over/under of 54.
The Cowboys were in good shape not too long ago, on a 6-2 run (straight up) through October and November but have begun, what seems to be, their annual December swoon.
In their last 12 games in the last month of the year, Dallas is an atrocious 1-11 against the spread.
As you would expect, they have not fared well on the road in December, stumbling to a 2-9 mark in their last 11 and are currently on an 0-6 ATS skid in their last six.
Tony Romo and company havenât fared much better against the Saints, with a record of 1-6 ATS in their last seven overall vs. New Orleans.
At the Superdome, Dallas is 1-5 ATS last six.
Total bettors take note, the last five matchups between these two in New Orleans have produced five straight Unders.
The Saints have been flying high throughout the season, obviously, as they own a polished 13-0 mark.
SPORTSBETTING.com currently has a cool prop bet on: New Orleans is listed at +150 to finish the regular season with a 16-0 record.
In their last 20 when favored by 8-points or less, the Saints are marching, with a record of 15-5 ATS and in their last 10 games against opponents from the NFC East, New Orleans has produced eight straight Overs.
The Saintsâ last 10 home games, the Over has cashed seven times.
The sports betting public have been jumping on the home team, with 80% of all the action so far coming in on New Orleans.
This should be an entertaining game, as the Saints try and keep pace with the Colts in the run to go undefeated.
- Week 15 will conclude when the New York Giants travel to the nationâs capital to play the Washington Redskins â the G-Men are favored by a field goal with a Total of 44.
There seems to be just as much disarray amongst the Redskinsâ front office as there is on the field.
The team has a regular season record of 4-9 while a new GM was hired on Thursday in the form of Bruce Allen, son of late, great Redskins coach George Allen.
The âSkins have gone 3-6 SU and ATS the last nine times theyâve hosted the Giants and the last eight times the G-Men have visited, the Over has cashed six times.
The New York football Giants have shot themselves in the foot when it comes to their playoff hopes, going 2-6 SU in their last eight.
Still, the NYG are in hot pursuit of a Wild Card berth and are 7-2 SU and ATS in their last nine when favored by 4-points or less.
Online Betting sportsbooks are reporting the action favoring the Giants, with 75% of the money coming in on the visitor so far.
