3 Best Bets For NFL Week 1

NFL betting fans are counting down the days to the start of the 2010 regular season on Thursday September 9th. The NFL has spoiled its fans this year, as sports betting handicappers get to watch a rematch of the NFC final from last season, when the New Orleans Saints play the Minnesota Vikings. Here are NFL tips that provides a brief preview of three of the games you should be watching in week one of the NFL season.

1.  New Orleans Saints v. Minnesota Vikings – Two of the quietest teams during the offseason, the Saints and Vikings bring essentially the same squads from last season’s NFC final into week one. The ageless wonder Brett Favre looks to rewrite history in this week one encounter. If Favre had retired after last season, he would have been known for the interception he threw in the final seconds of the NFC championship game. However old man Brett along with Adrian Peterson and the rest of the Vikings will be looking to defeat the Saints this time around. Prediction: New Orleans by three.

2.  Indianapolis Colts v. Houston Texans – When betting totals, we suggest you take the over in this game as two of the premier quarterbacks in the league will have their guns blazing. Ever since the Texans got Matt Schaub, they have gone from the cellar to about the middle of the pack, being able to defeat pretty much every team in the league except for one. In week one they look to finally put the woes against the Colts behind them. However as much as we love Schaub, we love Manning more. Prediction: Colts in a high scoring affair.

3.  New England Patriots v. Cincinnati Bengals – One of the league’s best teams faces last season’s biggest surprise playoff team. Many fans will be betting on the Patriots to wipe the floor with the Bengals, because after all it is the Bengals. Yet we feel confident taking the Bengals, as the defensive is much improved and they finally got Ocho a competent wide out to ease the workload. Prediction: Bengals by three.
