The latest NFL odds for the game come to us from leading online sportsbook Bodog where they have priced up the Steelers as 3 point favorites over the Saints. The line has moved from an opening ATS number of -1 so the money has definitely come for the Steelers.
The Over/Under for the game has also dropped significantly from an opening total of 36 points to the current level of 34.5 points. If you want a solid NFL pick for the first preseason game we're going with the UNDER for this one.
Look for a lot of rust on both teams, very little playing time for the stars, and a scrappy encounter. That should translate into a low-scoring game.
In terms of more general NFL preseason picks you probably won't go poor opposing the Falcons in every one of their exhibition games regardless of the line. This is a team that has been severely disrupted and wasn't going to be that good in the preseason before the Vick scandal destroyed their training camp.
