NFL Football Wagering - 2008 New Orleans Saints Regular Season Win Total Odds
The New Orleans Saints, (7-9 SU, 6-10 ATS, 10-6 O/U) took a big step backwards in 2007.
They went an unimpressive 7-9 in the BetUS Sportsbook and failed to reach the postseason just one season after capturing the nation’s attention and imagination with its stirring, 13-3 record and ran to the NFC divisional playoffs amid the post-Katrina relief efforts that spanned the globe.
