New Orleans** +5 over Indianapolis
Actually, it's kind of a relief that this football season has reached the end. We have endured our most clueless season ever. Considering you can figure on hitting 50% tossing a coin, hitting 43% is quite an accomplishment. Having said all that, we still love the hobby of handicapping. With that in mind, we will take the Saints +5. Why? Dwight Freeney. The spectacular defensive end for Indy has a substantial injury that may keep him out of the game Sunday. That figures to give QB Brees an extra second or two on many plays and that can be the difference between winning and losing at this level. While Manning is the unmatched master at outsmarting defenses, Brees has had a very special season and has a more versatile offense around him. This is the matchup all of us football purists wanted to see, and it should be a good one. Good luck out there!

| The group had a sensational year in 2008. Winning nearly 52.7% of the total plays listed here, and with over 2000 plays made, is a great year. This marked the 3rd winning year here for the group as a whole in the past 4 years. Wow. Our top handicappers were beyond belief in their abilities to pick winners consistently throughout the season. You see, it can be done. Pretty remarkable, considering all bets were graded at -110/100. | |||||||
