Opening Night Football Pick From The Guru

New Orleans (+5) at Green Bay

The Stadium will be electric tonight to start the 2011 NFL season. The Lombardi Trophy is coming back to Title Town. I can't wait ‘til kick off tonight. I hate all the extras thrown in to this game every year. Regardless, tonight's game is a great matchup of powerhouse football teams. The past year's Super Bowl winner has never lost a Thursday opener. They are 8-0 straight-up since they started this special season opener. I don't pick games straight up though. I think The Saints will be able to keep this game close throughout. You have 2 great offenses and 2 above average defenses playing tonight. So what's the X-factor? Drew Brees is money when he's an underdog (Thanks WC). Also, The Pack will be too focused on the pre-game festivities and the public has a slight lean on Green Bay in this game. The Dog has covered the last two years remember? Take The Points and The Saints here. (1 Unit) **unit change**

2011 NFL Draft in review: New Orleans Saints

For the most part many NFL draft writers have praised the 2011 New Orleans Saints draft class. I think this boils down to an argument over need and value.
