NFL odds and lines, Cardinals vs. Saints 2013: New Orleans favored big time
The New Orleans Saints are favored to best the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3.

But the two teams aren’t likely to be even heading into Week 4, as the Saints are the heavy favorites to take the win. According to OddsShark, the Saints opened as 7.5-point favorites, though the lines have moved even further in their favor throughout the week. New Orleans can be had as high as 9-point favorites on some books.
It helps that the game is New Orleans. The Saints would be favored even if the game was in Arizona, but the line gets a lot bigger this way. The over/under for the game is set right around 49 points. The total has gone over in 15 of the Saints’ last 23 games, and in five of Arizona’s last six, so it might be a smart play.
