Something To Think About

[BearDown]

Only once since 1999 has Atlanta beaten New Orleans by more than 3 points

Well, I guess tonight will be the second time then.

BUT ... Atl. is (19-1) Ats last 20 in N.O.

I don't know if you corrected this or not, but

All games played at NEW ORLEANS since 1992
ATLANTA is 11-3 against the spread versus NEW ORLEANS since 1992
ATLANTA is 9-5 straight up against NEW ORLEANS since 1992

That info was in this week's "Gold Sheet". That's where i saw it. I'm sure it isn't the 1st time a stat was wrong!

Road teams were very good Sunday! Road teams playing teams in there division were 7-1!

But doesn't tonight have a different and added dimension with the Atmosphere built up around it?

[thesandman]

I just saw it there too Wayne. Kinda strange, they put in the 19-1 stat, but then say nothing about it. If it was for real, it would be a major story. I have never seen anything at 95% over a long period of time.

[Winton]

I think it might be an added distraction to the Saints lot of pressure on them tonight just my opinion!

This may be a little more accurate :
A few trends to consider:
Atlanta is 13-3 ATS in its last 16 games when playing on the road against New Orleans
Atlanta is 16-6 SU in its last 22 games when playing New Orleans
Atlanta is 8-3 SU in its last 11 games when playing on the road against New Orleans
Atlanta is 13-6 ATS in its last 19 games when playing New Orleans
New Orleans is 4-2 ATS in its last 6 games when playing Atlanta
The total has gone OVER in 8 of New Orleans's last 12 games when playing at home against Atlanta
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of New Orleans's last 6 games when playing at home against Atlanta
New Orleans is 6-13 ATS in its last 19 games when playing Atlanta

Trends are great and so are stats, but they still have to play the games and these are different players and different coaches....Esp. Drew Brees!

I agree and think the words Reggie Bush have to be in there too.

On the other side, the A T L has built a new and much improved D.

Tonight I feel the same feeling that I did when we first went to war.....I knew along with most people the Red, White and Blue Team(New England) was destiny....Tonight I don't think there's any way the refs are going to call anything against NO, just to satisfy the people and what this team stands for...

FYI. Your something to think about is incorrect.

1999 Falcons 35-12
2001 Falcons 20-13
2002 Falcons 24-17
2005 Falcons 36-17

I'm not sure where you got your stat.
