*New England 34 - NEW ORLEANS 27—Initial thought on this one is to
look “over” the total, which is not cheap. But these two passers, the Monday night
atmosphere in the Big Easy, and Saints’ heavenly 14-4 Superdome “over” mark
more than hint at the attempt. N.O. held out RB Reggie Bush (knee) last week vs.
Bucs. And DT Sedrick Ellis and CBs Tracy Porter & Jabari Greer were out as well.
Brees & Co. 9-4 vs. spread last 13 home. But Brady & Co. 8-4 their last 12 on the
road and 6-2 when getting points. Saints’ DB injuries figure to give Tom Terrific
and his receivers the edge. CABLE TV—ESPN
