Vikings-Saints a great way to start NFL season

The National Football League couldn’t have picked a much better matchup to open the 2010 NFL season than the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints hosting Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings.

Thursday’s game (8:30 pm ET, NBC) is a rematch of the NFC Conference Championship in January, a thriller the Saints won 31-18 in overtime en route to the first Super Bowl victory in franchise history two weeks later.

The new betED.com sportsbook is all over the 2010 NFL season opener with moneyline, point-spread and over/under total odds plus multiple prop bets.

New Orleans is a 5-point, -240 moneyline favorite and the over/under is 48 in NFL Lines at betED.com.

Among the great selection of NFL Prop Bets is the always popular ‘which team will score first’ bet, which has New Orleans at -150 and Minnesota at +110. The same odds are available for which team will score last.

Another bet that’s a favorite of prop bettors is whether there will be a score in the critical last two minutes of the first half – Yes, -190; No, +135.

The Vikings will be looking for revenge in their first visit to the Louisiana Superdome since Jan. 24, when the Saints won straight up but failed to cash as a 4-point favorite.

Minnesota has in fact had the upper hand on the Saints head-to-head, going 7-2 SU and ATS in the past nine meetings, seven of which have eclipsed the over/under total, including four of the past five in New Orleans.

Minnesota (12-4 SU, 9-6-1 ATS last season) went 3-1 SU and ATS in the preseason while New Orleans (13-3 SU, 8-8 ATS) was 2-2 SU and 3-1 ATS.
