Road Underdog Wins – Game Total Goes Over

In a season that has been dominated by the underdogs, the 1-5 Cleveland Browns went into the Louisiana Superdome during Week 7 NFL action and stunned the defending Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints.

Give credit where credit is due as the Browns came into this game fired up and were relentless in their attack of the Saints. New Orleans was held to just eight offensive plays on their first two possessions and Cleveland lead 10-0 at the end of the 1st quarter.

New Orleans had a nightmare 2nd quarter as QB Drew Brees threw three interceptions including one at the end of the quarter that was returned for a touchdown. The Browns went into the locker room with a 20-3 halftime lead.

Neither team managed to put points on the board  in a scoreless 3rd quarter. The Saints scored a TE David Thomas 11 yard TD on the fourth play of the 4th quarter to cut the lead to 20-10 Browns.

That was as close as the Saints would get as the Browns added a field goal and a second interception TD return in the 4th period to put the game away and complete the shocking upset.

Bettors at SportsInteraction.com that took a chance on the underdog Browns were rewarded with a staggering 500 units on a 100 unit money line wager.
