Written by North Shore Sports, INC

A rematch of Super Bowl XLIV is set to go at Bookmaker Sportsbook on Sunday night when the New Orleans Saints host the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7 NFL betting action.

NFL Betting Online:

The winless Indianapolis Colts (0-6, 2-4 ATS) once again find themselves under the prime time lights when they invade the “Big Easy” to battle the New Orleans Saints (4-2, 3-3 ATS) in a Week 7 NFL betting clash on Sunday, October 23rd, 2011; kick-off from the Louisiana Superdome is set for 8:20 ET with NBC carrying the live national broadcast.

Over/Under 48

A season of what could have been has quickly turned into the Andrew Luck sweepstakes with the Colts now winless in six tries without #18 under center. After suffering a brutal 28-24 comeback win by the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 5, the Colts lost to the Cincinnati Bengals by 10 points last week. Indy had its chances to come within the closing five-point NFL betting line, but late turnovers prevented that from occurring. The loss dropped the Colts to 0-3 SU & 1-2 ATS as a visitor on the year.

Even though the loss of Peyton Manning was a crucial blow at the outset of the season, the rest of the team has failed to hold up its end of the bargain. QB Curtis Painter has only thrown for 806 yards and sports a 5:1 TD/INT ratio. While that’s halfway decent for a guy that’s never gotten much playing time in the league, he’s gotten absolutely no support from a ground game that’s mustered an average of just 84 YPG (#28). Defensively, the Colts rank 29th in points allowed (27.2 PPG) and 27th in total yards allowed (392.5 YPG). On top of that, the team carries a (-2) turnover ratio with it into N’awlens and has surprisingly gotten little to no pressure on opposing QBs (9 sacks total).

The Saints will no doubt enter this Sunday night NFL betting tussle in an ornery mood after falling to the division rival Buccaneers in Tampa last week. QB Drew Brees and the rest of the offense piled up 450+ yards, but four unanswered turnovers led to the teams’ demise in the 26-20 setback as six-point road chalk. Still, it was the Saints third straight road game and they did come out on top in the previous two.

New Orleans only managed 70 yards on the ground against the Bucs mediocre run “D” last week, and if the duo of RBs Mark Ingram and Darren Sproles aren’t able to run circles around the Colts 30th ranked rush defense (136.7 YPG), Saints backers will have no shot of cashing their tickets in this spot. That is unless Brees and his talented crop of receivers can make hay in the passing game and keep drives alive by utilizing their second ranked 3rd down percentage offense against the Colts 3rd down defense that’s allowed opponents to convert on 48.3 percent of their tries.

NFL Betting Prediction – As much as you want to back the Saints in this spot off a loss, remember, the team is just 2-10 ATS their L/12 against sub .500 opposition and 1-5 ATS their L/6 as a home chalk of 10.5 points or more. On top of that, they haven’t been asked to lay 14 points or more in over 35 years! The best move might be to look at the ‘total’ and look for a high scorer. Indianapolis has shown the ability to put points on the board scoring 17 or more in each of their L/5 games, while the Saints will definitely get theirs be it by land or by air. The ‘over’ is 13-3 in the Colts L/16 road games and 5-2 their L/7 as a road underdog of 10.5 points or more, while the ‘over’ has cashed 11 of the L/15 times New Orleans hosted a sub .500 opponent.

So will the Colts be able to put enough points on the board to help this Sunday Night NFL betting battle go ‘over’ the closing number, or will the Saints make it a one-sided affair?
