New Orleans Saints v New England Patriots
7:30 PM ET, August 9, 2012
Gillette Stadium, Foxboro, MA
NEW ORLEANS +4-110 o38-110
NEW ENGLAND -4-110 u38-110
Tom Brady is not expected to see too much action in the opener which will give us a chance to see Ryan Mallett who has a bit of an unsettled start to training camp as well Brian Hoyer who Is entering his free agent season this forthcoming spring. In terms of running backs we will have a chance to see what Brandon Bolden has to offer, and would not be surprised to see a lot of the rookie from old Miss in tonight’s game.
It will be interesting to see the Patriot’s offensive line as they are currently quite thin in this area with possible inclusions being Nate Solder, Marcus Harrison and potentially Nick McDonald supplying the offensive tackle. These starters should see a fair amount of game time as the Pats look to strengthen this part of their game in what has been an injury hit time for New England.
On the Defensive side of things, they will look to their top two draft picks Don’ta Hightower and Chandler Jones to immerse themselves into the New England defence from the offset, with both players showing room for improvement and maybe maturity.
So who is going to win this first preseason game? Craig Tattan notes that the new drafted youth in place at the Pats as well as home field advantage could give the New England outfit the edge. Fade or tail? BET NOW AT THE SBR SPORTSBOOK.
