Week 6 primer: Two sides to every game

Shootout of the week

Minnesota at New Orleans. The Saints can't figure out how to put everything together. They look like world-beaters one week and clueless the next. With a healthy Deuce McAllister, however, they have their best chance for stability — if he holds on to the ball.

If McAllister gets going early, opening up the passing game for Aaron Brooks to find Joe Horn and Donte' Stallworth deep against a vulnerable Vikings secondary, this score will be something like this: Saints 31, Vikings 27.

But wait, the Saints' run defense is Swiss cheese, so once Daunte Culpepper and his talented receivers combine for a few home run balls, the Vikings can work to control the clock with rookie Mewelde Moore, who starred in the Big Easy at Tulane. Vikings 31, Saints 27.

Well he really does have a good point. It all depends on which AINTS team shows up. If it's the one that we saw in week two then we are in for a dog fight, but if it's the one that has showed up last week or the week before then we are gonna mop the floor with these fools. Personally, I think that it will be the latter! I would love a blowout....... but then again, wouldn't we all?

Vinnie did so bad on his picks last week, this week he conjured up a winning scenario for each team in each game. That is what makes betting on any of the games this week a real gamble (at least against the spread)...every game should be very competitive.
