Saints-Patriots NFL Betting Preview<br />
</h2>
<p>
New Orleans is 1-1 on the season after losing pathetically at Carolina last week 26-7. The Saints, coming off that great season-opening performance against Green Bay, allowed the Panthers to drive the opening possession of the game 75 yards to a touchdown and were never in it from there. New Orleans trailed 17-0 at the half, got within 17-7 early in the fourth quarter but faded in a classic letdown effort, losing outright as a three-point favorite. The Saints managed just 128 total yards and six first downs offensively last week and lost time of possession by a huge 39:21 split. As mentioned above, New Orleans opened this season with that 38-3 romp over the Packers. The Saints hit the scoreboard on their first three possessions of the game and eventually won the turnover battle 3-0, creating at least a +10 points differential.

New England, meanwhile, is also 1-1 on the season after beating the Jets in New Jersey last week 25-6. The Patriots, coming off that tough season-opening loss to Miami, scored the first 10 points of the game last week and led 13-3 at the half. New England then turned a takeaway into a touchdown five minutes into the second half and eased to victory from there, covering the spread as a six-point favorite. The Patriots actually got out-gained by New York 336-260 and out-rushed 152-101 but won the turnover battle 4-0, creating a +20 points differential. As mentioned above, New England opened this season with a 17-16 loss to the Dolphins. The Patriots actually out-gained Miami that day 393-259 but lost a fumble inside the Dolphins' 10-yard line with three and a half minutes to go, then let Miami run the clock out. These two teams met most recently four seasons ago, a 36-20 New England victory at the Superdome. But that was a quarterback ago for both teams.
