How high can the O/U go in Saints games? 55? 60? 70?
In racing off to a 2-0 start, Drew Brees and the Saints are already being compared to the 2007 New England Patriots, who won 16 straight in the regular season before that Super Bowl flameout. Tom Brady threw 50 touchdown passes that season, and there is speculation that Brees will challenge that record.
Herds of unicorns will be be photographed roaming the desert outside Phoenix before the Cardinals turn into a run-oriented team. Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin (as long as he sticks around), Kurt Warner and last year’s march to the Super Bowl pretty much guarantee that for the time being, and beyond, the Cardinals will live and die with the forward pass.
Week three is already upon us and after two weeks under their belts teams will begin to show their true identities. There are several games in week three that will prove to be important in early division positioning and begin to show where some of the teams may end up by seasons end. My NFL pick for best game of the week is the Indianapolis Colts at the Arizona Cardinals.
So far it has been good to be on the road this season as the visiting team is 20-12 ATS going 10-6 in each of the first two weeks. The points were flying around last week as well as nine games went over. New Orleans, with arguably the hottest offense in the NFL went over by themselves, putting up 48 points against Philadelphia.
Here is a rundown of all this week’s games and the current lines as supplied by beted.com.
1:00 EST Kick-off
UNDER
My Ai Simulator has a 3* graded play UNDER in this game. It shows a 74% probability that 44 or fewer points will be scored in this game. Supporting this graded play is a strong system hitting 71% winners for a 48-20 mark since 1983. Play under with any team against the total off a road loss in a game involving two teams that had winning records last season.
Week 2 is now a thing of history and this look back at the week that was – and glimpse into what Week 3 holds – should help NFL sports betting enthusiasts everywhere make a plethora of winning NFL picks in the BetUS Sportsbook on all of Week 3’s thrilling matchups.
With that thought in mind, let me get started.
Each week during the heart of the NFL season, and once or twice during the NFL Preseason, we’ll gather the troops around the roundtable and hash out the NFL Power rankings. We check out the stats, looks at the records, and, most importantly, we take a close, close look at the heart of each team. We encourage you to come back each week and see how the NFL Power Rankings have changed.

After Monday Night NFL betting gave us some surprisingly close games in Week 1, can the Colts and Dolphins treat us to something special tonight? Both teams’ offenses stalled last week, so something tells me there’s a barn burner in the making in Miami.
It’s no secret that the Miami Dolphins have the toughest schedule in the NFL and they are getting a very early, bitter taste to start the season.
After facing one 2008 playoff team from the NFC South, they face the 2008 AFC South winner on Monday Night Football.
The Dolphins were one of the surprise teams last season because of a number of reasons: they took care of the football, they were able to run the ball and they protected the quarterback.
The New Orleans Saints made sure they caught everyone’s attention by decimating the Lions 45-27 in Week 1 betting. Drew Brees was the headline grabber of the weekend, throwing for 358-yards and 6 touchdowns. The game against Detroit was a nice tune-up, but now we get to really see what the Saints can do on the road against a vaunted Eagles’ defense that caused five turnovers last weekend against Carolina.
If you thought the aerial arsenal of the Arizona Cardinals was one-dimensional, then the one-man band of the Jacksonville Jaguars should lower the bar a little for you. Maurice Jones-Drew had five receptions, but managed to rumble for 97 rushing yards and the Jaguars only touchdown against Indy.

Ford Field, Detroit — 1:00pm EST
NFL Betting Line: Minnesota -10 (46.5)
The Lions are winless in 2009 so far, and that fact will hold true after Week 2 is in the bag. After allowing Drew Brees to throw for six touchdowns, the Lions are inviting Brett Favre to Ford Field to try and do the same. To make matters worse, the Vikings present a much more dynamic attack, boasting the league’s leading MVP candidate, Adrian Peterson.
At 34-14-1, there is no better team in the National Football League playing its home opener than the Dallas Cowboys. And win or lose, no home opener will be more memorable than Sunday’s night’s cage match against the New York Giants in the new 100,000-seat Cowboys Stadium.
Oakland Raiders (0-1) vs. Kansas City Chiefs (1-0)
Sunday, September 20th — Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas — 1:00pm EST
NFL Betting Line: KC -3 (38.5)
In their college days, Michael Bush and Run DMC were two of the best backs in the nation. Now they share a backfield, making Justin Fargas virtually expendable. Bush and DMC combined for 123.0 yards and a score against one of the better 3-4 defenses in the league.
There was a new regime, new parts and new optimism in St. Louis but all of that excitement quickly died down after one game. The Rams were shutout 28-0 and while the effort was there, they still got smacked around.
Meanwhile, the Redskins also had a discouraging performance as their offense looked disjointed and they couldn’t capitalize on good opportunities that their defense – and the New York Giants – created.
Baltimore Ravens (1-0 SU & ATS) at San Diego Chargers (1-0 SU, 0-1 ATS)
Sunday, September 20 – 4:15 PM ET
BetUS NFL betting odds: SAN DIEGO -3, Total 40
In the BetUS NFL football betting odds, the Chargers are listed as a three-point favorite, with a posted total of 40 points.
