Saturday, August 25th – Tonight’s Texans vs. Saints meeting highlights the Saturday NFL Week 3 pre-season card. The game kicks off a little after 8:00 p.m. ET in New Orleans.
Pinnacle Sports Odds: The line (from Pinnacle Sports) has remained relatively steady since the opening number, with the Saints currently sitting as a 3-point favorite. The Total has seen some movement, crossing over a key number as the money flows in on the Over. It opened at 43.5, but the action has pushed that number to 44.5 (and I’m even seeing a couple of 45s out there). I spoke with a couple of sportsbooks earlier today and both reported a high percentage of their Total volume was, as you’d expect by looking at the line movement, on the “Over”. One book had 73% on the Over, while the other reported a whopping 79% of the money tilted to the high side.
