These NFC South rivals have a fierce rivalry stretching back 50 years and New Orleans are even more desperate for a win tonight after losing their first two games of the campaign.
They are 14-19 at Marathonbet while visitors Atalanta, with one win and one defeat so far, are chalked up at 13-10 by bwin.
There's top tennis action from China today with the WTA Wuhan Open and ATP Shenzhen where Tomas Berdych is 7-2 title favourite with Coral.

Good luck!
Cannot believe Jose Fernández has died, he would have been a hall of famer. Had saved lives previously, had a pregnant girlfriend, and had the highest strike out percentage of anyone who had played 2 games or more (over 5,000 pitchers).
Some things are certainly bigger than sport.
Terrible stuff Jack. Found out quite early today as I’ve been trading MLB for the last five months. Even worse it was doing something he enjoyed.
Arnold Palmer too!?
Bad day for me, David Johnson rushing yards and TD were my only two winners.
Long shot was down. Panthers lost my acca, and my double stake was downed by Arizona…would have been a great day if they nicked that win but that’s life.
I said there was no sugar coating yesterday. A bad weekend once more with Baltimore missing out the main double by 1 point, some props falling short with a couple winners. It wasn’t bad for everyone with my work pulling in over two million US dollars today in the NFL alone. I was criticized for the amount of tips and stakes, but at the end of the day, that’s my business and nobody has to follow every bet or even stake the same amount, and if you’re not following at all, its probably best to keep quiet when you come out with more sh*t yourself than your average cesspool ;)
Skipping the Cowboys game entirely as there’s nothing certain. It was a toss up between Cole Beasley or Jason Witten’s receiving yards to go over which you can both get at under 50 across the board, but again, I wasn’t sold.
Instead I’m looking to tomorrow nights game which should be a cracker in the NFC South. I had already tipped Matt Ryan’s passing yards yesterday which have been increased at PP to 296.5, so I’m advising to take William Hills total of 291.5. Ryan has thrown this total in his last six games against the Saints, and with New Orleans still carrying on with last seasons pass defense, Ryan should have plenty of yardage again tonight. Julio Jones hasn’t practiced all week but it’ll only be to make sure he’s ok for tonight as he’s dealing with a couple of niggling injuries. With Atlanta being one of the most predominant vertical offenses in the league through Kyle Shanahan, and the Saints woes in their secondary, it should be a good night in the air. Both these QB’s love to air it out so I’ll wait for 365 to bring out their props tomorrow as I might have something else which only they deal with. Good luck if you follow. I currently need it.

You make profit month on month. It’s alot of bets to follow but it you have the amount of money to stake on each point that some people claim, should be easy money right!?
I wouldn’t even say its that many to be honest mate. 8 bets yesterday all thought out and researched. Most of the football folk do that everyday.
Depends on what everyone is staking etc.
I will have a main bet or two…then bets on games I am watching which will be more.
For example I will follow your results or points bets, but not prop bets unless I am watching the game. Enjoyment thing. Same as my personal bet on this game is Cowboys to win the first half at a bigger stake but I’m not going to tip that @ 1/2.
It’s been a hard couple of weeks but nearly everyone here knows you will be in profit by the end of the season whether you have 2 bets or 8 bets a week, it’s week 3…early days.
I’m not worried. For example Cole Beasley has done his yards in the first half and Witten is halfway there.

Falcons @ Saints
Willie Snead Over 68.5 total receiving Yards (PaddyPower)
ODDS>>>1.83
Saints are 0-2 but did win there last match up. The saints need a win at home tonight but will have a tough match with the Falcons.
Snead has 2 TD’s in his 2 games and has yardage of 226 with a 113 average. He has the highest number of passes received for the saints with 14 with a Longest reception of 49 Yards. He received 54 yards in a tough game at the Giants but 172 at home to Oakland in a very tight 35-34 defeat. He scored a Touchdown in both games and he is 2.00 to get another tonight which I’ll also be on. With the most passes received and that whopping 172 in his last home match I think he has a decent chance of going over his line tonight and scoring a TD.
Hi all Arizona very disappointing cost alot of people .backed lees acc got bit of money back thx mate .nfl season now approaching week4 starting to take shape teams that are 3 -0 on stats get to playoffs 74% of time .New England and Denver in afc lookin good in nfc c wentz looks a class act for a rookie QB and the Vikings D is awesome ..its all hotting up .lets hope tonight and next week are more profitable..follow Jordan and lee both very knowledge second to none .my 3 bets last night all went west ..gl all
Snead not playing tonight for the Saint’s I wonder who that’ll give yards to.
Tough one Nick as they are very much a rotation side. Cooks the obvious but could be held in check by Trufant. I’d probably be inclined to take Brees’ pass yards if you were going the Saints side.
Thx again hunter off to a flyer?
Evening guys well last night ended on a sour note, first acca came up second was let down by Arizona. Late games acca looked good and with 90 secs to go in the Colts game I could have accepted a Colts fg to win the game for them and bring up my late acca but ty Holton had other ideas so went to bed not happy.
Out of every game I chose I got 9 from 11 right yet only won one of the 3 spread accas. Think I need rethink how I put my accas together. Early td scorers pretty much sacked from what I can remember late scorers was let down by one who was Antonio brown and let’s face it Pittsburgh sucked last night
Looking at tonight’s games think a shoot out is expected, cant remember which bookies did it but used be able get points scored in every quarter at a decent price not sure price will be good for this game. Wouldn’t be a surprise to see a 34-31 scoreline to the saints, but as am still annoyed from last night am jist having 2 decent priced bets for tonight both at Sky Bet request a bets/price boost
Julio Jones and brandin cooks anytime 10/3
Brees + Ryan over 300 yds passing, over 1.5 td each and over 40.5 pts in match. Pays 13/2
Hoping to wake up to bit of luck good luck lads
That 11/2 looks decent Lee. Good luck mate.
13/2 even…
Not a great price but 365 are offering over 80.5 Pass Attempts @ 8/11. Should go well over. 5.5 points are fingers crossed. Good luck gents.
