Giants @ Saints: NFL Monday Night Football Preview

Kickoff for MNF betting action is slated for 8:30 PM ET on Monday, November 28, 2011, from the newly renamed Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.

New Orleans (7-3 Home: 4-0) is fresh off their bye week and have won their last two contests. The Saints took advantage of a blunder by Atlanta head coach Mike Smith to beat the Falcons 26-23 in overtime prior to their bye week.

New York (6-4 Away: 3-2) has dropped two straight games and find themselves chasing the Dallas Cowboys. The Giants lost on the road 27-20 to the 49ers in Week 10, and then dropped a home game 17-10 to the Eagles on Sunday Night Football in Week 12.

In the NFL 2011 playoff race, New Orleans is a half game up on the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC South, while New York sits a half game back of the Cowboys in the NFC East.

Monday Night Football Betting Odds: Saints vs. Giants Free Pick

It’s Monday Night Football and we head to the big event sportsbook at Bodog.com for our Saints vs. Giants Free Pick betting odds. LIVE BETTING is available, from the kickoff – to the final whistle, as we close out the NFL Week 12 schedule. A well rested Saints squad has the advantage here!

For two teams that are battling for a playoff position, we are a bit surprised by the touchdown and half betting line in this one. Further research shows the Saints have been one of the better home teams in the league – over their last seven regular season games.

In those contests New Orleans is 7-1 SU and ATS. The lone loss was during Week 17 last season, when half the Saints starters didn’t play. In the seven wins, the Saints have outscored their opponents 244-111.

Make it 184-104 if you take out the 64-7 blowout win over the Indianapolis Colts back in Week 7.

We think the Saints will get up early in this one and never look back.
