The books certainly had to sweat a bit but in the end they came out on top with Monday Night Football as Carolina managed to cover a 6-point spread against New Orleans.

Some 65% of the spread action was on New Orleans coming into this game. As Gambling911.com appropriately noted, the books did have a strong opinion that Carolina would cover as they continued to encourage action on the Saints. New Orleans did win but not by the posted -6 point spread.
The books already tasted success over the weekend with San Francisco's shock win over Seattle. Better than 65% of the spread action was on the Seahawks. A significant amount was also on the small money line.
With the victory, Sean Payton and Drew Brees won their 117th regular-season game together Monday night, passing Don Shula and Dan Marino for second place among coach/QB combos during the Super Bowl era.
