Last week I initially thought Colts to cover the spread easily, but most of the money is going on the Colts and media opinion is leaning heavily in that direction. I may take Saints on the money line. Contrarian is usually the way to go. Thoughts ?

Don’t suppose there are any hockey fans?

I'm a on again off again Blues fan, does that count?

I’m not a hockey fan, but I want to get into it now that I live up north.

  I haven't decided who I like yet.....   That being said, I think the contrarian angle works great during the regular season and isn't as reliable in the playoffs/Super Bowl......

  College hockey is your best bet where you live.

Anyone remember last years line ? I know the Cards covered and the total went over. Was it around 7?

I take the Saints. No way the Colts cover. Last I heard it was still 5 1/2 after the Freeney injury. Suckers bet.

  And I am a hockey fan. DRW, baby!

Do they sell alcohol at college hockey games?

A blues fan, I'm impressed. I was in St.Louis for training and it was Brett Hull retirement night and a bunch of us went out to the local watering hole. Must have been 10 TV's in the place, all of them except a 20" screen dedicated to football. The one guy watching the greatest player in blues history have his jersey raised to the rafters was this old, obese guy wearing a blues jersey that couldn't reach all the way around his belly. he was yelling and screaming at this little 20" screen seeing his favourite player immortalized in St.Louis hockey history.   I guess the owners knew their clientele.

We might have actually gone to some of the same games.  I dated a girl whose dad had season tickets.  We must have gone to a dozen games that year.  The best one was game 4 of the playoffs against the Blackhawks.  Round 1 I believe.  We went into at least double overtime and swept them.  We were in the very top row of the old Barn.  That was a great place to watch hockey.
