Saints vs Vikings Odds 2010 NFL Week 1 Predictions: After seven long months the day is finally here, the 2010 regular season begins this Thursday at 8:30 PM ET with the amazing game between the Minnesota Vikings taking on the Super Bowl Champions, New Orleans Saints, in a rematch of last years' NFC title game. The Vikings vs. Saints NFL Betting Point Spread have the Saints at -4.5 at SPORTSBOOK.com
Last season the Vikings completely dominated the Saints outplaying them 475 total yards over 257 and 310 passing yards vs. 189 but somehow they ended up losing the game 31-28. The Vikes committed five turnovers (3 fumbles and 2 interceptions) that blew the game for them, including a Favre interception deep in New Orleans territory in the closing seconds of regulation.
2010 NFL Week 1 Predictions fans should realize this is more than a simple game for both teams, Minnesota will be looking for revenge and New Orleans will be seeking to confirm that nothing that happened last season was a matter of luck. Keep in mind three players from last seasons Minnesota high power offense will be out complete or have problems for the opener, WR Sidney Rice will miss the first six weeks due to a knee injury, the other WR Percy Harvin has been suffering will frequent migraines and RB Chester Taylor who was the key player in third downs left to the Bears in the offseason.
The majority of this offense will lean on the 40 year old QB Brett Favre and on RB Adrian Peterson to succeed; however don´t expect Favre to be as great as last season especially considering in 2009 they begun their journey against really low profile squads (Browns, Lions, 49ers and Rams in the first five games) and not against serious talent or the defending Super Bowl champions like this season.
New Orleans high power offense will have a shot to beat a Vikings defense that shut them down last year. Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees will have the same weapons at his disposal but with a whole new wisdom after winning the Lombardy Trophy. The Saints are 6-1 ATS in September games and 9-6 ATS in all games where the total is between 42.5 and 49 points in the last three years. Also the Vikings are 5-7 ATS as an underdog over the last three games and 9 of 11 games in this series between these two have gone OVER THE TOTAL since 1992.
