Saints at Raiders
SAINTS - So far in the preseason no team has looked as good as the New Orleans Saints. After beating up on Cincinnati in the preseason opener, winning 17-7 as a 3-point favorite, the Saints destroyed the Texans in Houston 38-14 as a 3-point underdog.
Today, the Saints are on the road once again where they’re laying 2 1/2 points at the Raiders and will cruise to an easy victory.
New Orleans comes into this game having gone a perfect 5-0 SU and ATS in road games in August and is a perfect 2-0 SU and ATS in preseason Week 3 games. Over the last two seasons the Saints have outscored their opponents in Week 3 by a combined 43-7.
Now they battle a Raiders team that has won and covered in only 2 of their last 6 Week 3 preseason games. Oakland is also just 2-4 ATS its last 6 preseason games when installed as an underdog.
Things won’t get any better today as the Saints cruise to an easy win in Oakland.
49ers at Cowboys
COWBOYS - You want to talk about dominance? Then you want to talk about the Dallas Cowboys playing at home in the preseason.
Over their last 12 home preseason games since 2003, the Cowboys are 11-0-1 SU and 9-3 ATS. Under current coach Wade Phillips, Dallas has gone a perfect 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS.
Tonight, they’ll cash in once again against the visiting San Francisco 49ers.
Dallas enters the game laying about 7 points, depending on where you’re playing this, but it won’t matter.
San Francisco comes into this game having failed to cover in each of its last three preseason games and is a horrible 1-10 SU and 4-7 ATS its last 11 preseason games on the road.
This will be the Niners’ first roadie of this preseason and despite being 2-0 SU the team is 0-2 ATS.
Dallas is coming off an impressive 30-10 victory last week at home against the Titans as a 3 1/2 point favorite and will dominate once again tonight. Lay the points and take the Cowboys at home.
