Ben Burns' BEST BET Total Winner
(12-3 L15 NFL Totals according to vegasinsider.com)
KC Chiefs / New Orleans Saints UNDER 37
Game: New Orleans Saints vs. Kansas City Chiefs Game Time: 8/23/2007 8:30:00 PM Prediction: under Reason: I'm playing on the Saints and Chiefs to finish UNDER the number. The third week of the preseason typically is different from the other weeks, as starters (on both sides of the ball) see their most playing time. Looking back to Week 3 of last preseason and we find that the Saints didn't score a single first half point in their road game vs. Indianapolis. They would finish with 14. Meanwhile, the Chiefs didn't score a single second half point in their Week 3 matchup of last year's preseason, defeating the Rams by a score of 16-12. Note that 10 of last year's 16 Week 3 games produced 37 points or less and that the 16 games overall averaged only 35 points - despite that average being inflated by a 65 point game at Cincinnati on Monday Night. The Chiefs got Larry Johnson, the focal point of their offense, to end his holdout. However, he won't be in the lineup tonight to help a struggling offense which scored just 10 and 12 points in their first two games. With Edwards finally convincing his team that they are capable of winning with defense, the Chiefs closed out last year's season by seeing the UNDER go 8-2 their last 10 games. Tonight's game, although still exhibition, will be the closest thing yet to a regular season game. I'm expecting another relatively low-scoring scoring affair which also falls UNDER what I feel is a generous number.
