For the second consecutive week, the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints (0-1) held joint practices with their opponent leading up to their preseason game.  The Saints hope that will not work against them again when they face the Houston Texans (0-1) in the preseason for the third year in a row on Saturday.  New Orleans is a small favorite at -1 after losing to the New England Patriots 27-24 last week following a similar routine of joint practices.

Atlanta heads into tonights contest as a 2.5 point home favorite
The New England Patriots (1-0) and Atlanta Falcons (1-0) meet in the Georgia Dome after both teams turned in solid performances in their preseason openers last week.  The Falcons did not manage a touchdown by their starters in a game that featured five field-goal attempts on the first eight drives – including four straight misses from 50 yards or longer – but they did play well defensively and escaped without any major injuries in a 20-10 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.

Lions Vs Steelers Preseason Betting Preview
Will Big Ben Play Tonight? Expect the betting odds to tick up a hair if Tomlin says he is getting some snaps.
The big question for the Pittsburgh Steelers going into their preseason opener against the Detroit Lions is, will we see QB Ben Roethlisberger?  Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin refused to comment on whether or not the troubled signal caller will play, but his team will still enter the game as home favorites at -3 on the NFL point spread regardless.  Unlike his predecessor Bill Cowher, Tomlin has been an outstanding coach in the preseason with a 10-3 career mark.

One could make the argument that the Houston Texans are closer to becoming a playoff team than the Arizona Cardinals this year despite the fact that they have never made it to the postseason.  The Texans will take that first step toward proving themselves as the first road favorites of the preseason against a Cardinals team that was in the Super Bowl two years ago.  Preseason lines tend to move on game day so be sure to check out the pro football lines page offering up to date lines for all of the preseason and regular season NFL games.

It is easy to get excited about new QB Donovan McNabb if you are a Washington Redskins fan, but the bigger move by the team in the offseason was bringing in head coach Mike Shanahan and GM Bruce Allen to restructure the organization from the bottom up.  Shanahan brings a winning attitude as a two-time Super Bowl champion with the Denver Broncos to the favored Redskins (-3) against the Buffalo Bills in their opener on Friday and owns one of the most impressive preseason records of any active coach at 41-19.

Matt Ryan Atlanta Falcons
Maddux's Free NFL Pick is on the Under 34.5 in tonight's contest
Who will look more like the New England Patriots in 2010, the Atlanta Falcons or the Kansas City Chiefs?  The favored Falcons (-3) may not have a direct connection to the Patriots, but they have more players who seem to resemble the three-time Super Bowl champions going into Friday’s preseason opener against the Chiefs.  Future Hall of Fame TE Tony Gonzalez will also face his former team for the first time since a trade sent him from Kansas City for Atlanta less than two years ago.

Jaguars Vs Eagles Preseason Odds
Mike Vick is one of the 3 philly QBs making the depth at that position warrant NFL odds of -3
The Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars both have a lot to prove going into their preseason opener on Friday, but for different reasons.  The NFL odds makers have the Eagles as home favorites of -3 and begin the Kevin Kolb era at quarterback after he replaced Donovan McNabb in the offseason.  Kolb became the only QB in NFL history to throw for more than 300 yards in his first two starts for Philly last year when he filled in for an injured McNabb, but this year he will be saddled with even higher expectations in trying to replace a legend.
