Point Train Football - 9-Unit GOM - New Orleans (-13.5) over St. Louis
9-Unit Game of the Month
New Orleans (-13.5) vs. St. Louis (@STL)
Sunday, November 15 – 12:00 PM CST
Undefeated New Orleans travels to 1-7 St. Louis and is less than two touchdown favorites?! Sign me up! St. Louis got their first victory against the Detroit Lions in their last game. In that game, the Rams scored a touchdown on a fake field goal and scored a touchdown with less than 2 minutes left to get the 7-point victory over the fellow 1-win Lions. This is a no-brainer. Take the NFL’s best offense against a the Rams’ #26 offense and #27 defense in a blowout.
New Orleans is 0-2 ATS in their last two games, winning by 8 and 10 points against well-known division opponents. St. Louis and New Orleans haven’t played since ’07 and are both completely different teams in 2009. The Saints have the #1 ranked offense in the NFL and averages 427 yards and 38 points per game this season. That’s not good news for the Rams, who rank near the bottom of every major defensive category this season.
In similar situations, St. Louis has faced three top-tier quarterbacks so far this season (GB –Rodgers, MIN- Favre, IND- Manning) and lost big each time. The Rams lost those three games by an average score of 39-11. Manning, Favre, and Rodgers completed 66% of their passes with 6 TD’s and 1 pick. More importantly, they were able to average 132 rushing YPG also.
New Orleans’ defense has been almost as impressive as their offense this season. The Saints ‘D’ has scored a touchdown in every game but one this season. Darren Sharper is tied for the league lead in interceptions and is one of the candidates for NFL defensive MVP midway through the season. The Saints are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games as a favorite and 11-3-1 ATS in their last 15 games overall. St. Louis is just 6-18 ATS in their last 24 home games and 3-12 ATS in their last 15 games as a home underdog. Go with the Saints in a blowout.

Game: Dallas Cowboys @ Green Bay Packers - Sunday November 15, 2009 4:15 pm
Pick: 5 unit(s) ATS: Dallas Cowboys -3 (100) (Game of the Month)
This selection is definitely a public play, but I feel like the wise guys and sharp money aren’t accounting for just how bad Green Bay is this year. I also don’t think that the public is accounting for the improvement that the Cowboys have made over the last few weeks. The biggest problem with Dallas to start the season was the play of Tony Romo. He simply held this team back in the first few weeks. They should have won against Denver and the NY Giants if not for poor performances by Romo. Meanwhile, Green Bay has been horrible against the best teams on their schedule, while beating up on the worst teams. The Packers have lost and been out played against the Vikings twice, Cincinnati, and they should have lost to Chicago. Green Bay simply is not a good team, but they have had the luxury of playing a relatively weak schedule so far. As a result, they have appeared better than they really are. In addition, the Packers are riddled with injuries on both sides of the ball. The biggest problem for Green Bay is their inability to protect Aaron Rodgers. They have given up the most sacks in the league, while not being able to pressure the quarterback themselves. Dallas significantly outplayed Green Bay last year at Lambeau Field, and there is no reason why they won’t dominate them again in this game. Dallas has all of the momentum, while Green Bay is slumping. This is a game with two teams heading in different directions. Look for the Cowboys to get a blowout win.
