Default Gift of the Week: Atlanta vs. New Orleans

This has got to be the most generous spread of the week. Atlanta is giving 4.5 points to New Orleans. With Duce out, and maybe Joe Horn out, and after a 52-3 beating by Green Bay, I see Atlanta slaughtering NO. If Vick is out, which he shouldnt be, Shaub has proven to be an excellent replacement.

I'm so confident at a 10+ point win, that I threw my entire bankroll of $223 on this game.

it's not a lock yet, but early wagering at the books agree with your theory.

Do me a favor and let me know when it becomes a lock so I can bet my entire BR on it. Thanks.

normally i would say that betting against a home underdog is never a 'lock', but who the hell knows where new orleans is even playing.

Sounds like a potential BSP pick. I like New Orleans already.

I wasn't explicity approving the OP's reasoning. the point is that sharp book lines 5 days before the game have -4.5 as a SLIGHT betting favorite so far. I guess I should have said "it's FAR from a lock, but at LEAST the extremely early wagering appears to like the falcons so far". my apologies for the shoddy wording.
