Confession: I am a Bar Stool Pundit. Half the influence on these picks is that my first impression of the line is how great it is. So I admit, I'm a Bar Stool Pundit. The only BSP fade all year that I actually liked was Dallas +3. For all the rest I felt nearly sick to my stomach putting money on it, especially Miami in week 3 and the 9ers last week.

So this week, I'm nervous because the biggest BSP pick of the week is forcing me to violate one of my main rules:

Natedogg's NFL betting rule #1: Never bet on or against New Orleans.

So...

Atlanta -5.5 at New Orleans Looks like Vick is going to start, so New Orleans has absolutely no chance. Time to back up the truck! The Bar Stool Pundits are nearly as excited about this game as they were about Philly at Dallas, which was probably the most popular lopsided BSP pick of the year.

As of now, Atlanta is the clear frontrunner with the BSPs. Some possibles that might show up tomorrow morning include Carolina, Pittsburgh, New England and as always, Indy.

I will be taking the following bets at this time:

Take New Orleans +5.5
