FiveStarPick.com came back with two victories yesterday afternoon putting a cap on our longest losing streak of the season, 6 games.  It happens…and stay far away from any service that tells you differently.  If a touter only stands behind his wins, he’s a loser and so are his clients.  But we have to move on my friends, so grab a pen.

Las Vegas sportsbooks opened New Orleans (5-5 straight up, 6-4 against the spread) as a 2.5-point home favorites with a total set at 51. As of this morning, most Vegas books had adjusted the Saints to a 1-point favorite and the total remained virtually unchanged.

Both Minnesota and Chicago won yesterday, so Green Bay (5-5 SU, 7-3 ATS) is now a half game back in the NFC North. The Packers have covered the spread in their last five games, including blowing out Chicago 37-3 as 3.5-point home favorites.  Ryan Grant rushed for 145 yards and a touchdown in the win and Pakcer QB Aaron Rodgers went 23-30 for 227 yards and two TDs. 

The Saints beat Kansas City 30-20 as 6-point favorites last week as they tried desperately to save their season.  Drew Brees passed for 266 yards and a touchdown in the win, while Pierre Thomas and Deuce McAllister eached rushed for one TD.  Lance Moore had 8 receptions for 102 yards including a 47-yard bomb.  

The Saints have been plagued with injuries including WR Marques Colston, TE Jeremy Shockey and RB Reggie Bush.  Colston and Shockey are back on the field, but Bush was downgraded to “doubtful” for tonight’s game.

FiveStarPick.com is excited about tonight’s NFL double header.  And because we are so excited, we are giving our members spread and total winners for both of tonights games.  Read below for a preview of the action. 

VIKINGS @ PACKERS

Las Vegas sports books have the Green Bay Packers as a 2 point home chalk over Minnesota, with the total set at 38.  Last season the Vikings were 8-8 straight up and 7-7 against the spread.  They were 3-5 straight up and 3-3 against the spreadon the road and the under went 5-2.

The Vikings had a good run last year behind stud running back Adrian Peterson (1341 yards, 12 TDs), but finished second in the NFC North behind Green Bay and failed to reach the playoffs.  Having said that, over the last two years the Vikings have gone 0-4 straight up and 1-3 against the spread when playing in Green Bay.  The under is 5-2 the last seven games in this series.

In the 2007-2008 season, Green Bay went 13-3 straight up and 12-3 against the spread before losing last year’s NFC Championship Game at home to the Super Bowl Champion New York Giants. Those numbers had a lot to do with #4 Brett Favre, so Aaron Rodgers will have a lot of pressure on him tonight to fill some big shoes.  The Packers were 7-1 straight up and 6-1 against the spread at home last season, with the over going 5-3. 

BRONCOS @ RAIDERS

Las Vegas sportsbooks have Denver as a 3 point road chalk over Oakland and have set the total at 42.  Last season, Denver went 7-9 straight up and 5-11 against the spread.  They were worse on the road going 2-6 straight up and 1-7 against the spread.  Denver finished in second place in the AFC West, four games behind the Chargers.  In addition, Denver lost 4 of its last 5 straight up and against the spread, but capped off the season with a victory over Minnesota, 22-19. Quarterback Jay Cutler (3,487 yards, 20 TDs, 14 INTs) will start in his third season tonight and feels confident in his team after what he calls a stellar training camp. 

Oakland’s last season wasn’t much better going 4-12 straight up and 6-10 against the spread.  They were a terrible 2-6 straight up and 2-6 against the spread at home and 2-2 against the spread when listed as a home dog.  Oakland is 1-3 straight up in their last four meetings with Denver, but 4-0 against the spread.
