New England Patriots (-6.0) at New Orleans Saints (O/U 56.0)

Betting Trends: After a surprising loss in the opening game of the season, the New England Patriots travel to the Big Easy to take on Drew Brees in the Superdome. Vegas opened this game with the Patriots -6.5. But even though a whopping 81% of bets against the spread are on New England, per SportsInsights.com, most of the lines have not shifted at all. This is a big liability for a book to potentially take, indicating that Vegas is confident in the New Orleans Saints ability to keep the game close. The total is high and has risen since the open, so perhaps this non-line move says more about the Patriots' defense than their offense.

Takeaways: This game should have plenty of points to go around. Fire up your Patriots and Saints. The New Orleans' backfield is a mess, but all three of their running backs have the opportunity for a solid game with Vegas expecting the contest to remain close.
