Even with preseason NFL games, nothing can be easy. This past weekend proved no exception. I e-mailed a friend of mine who covers an NFL team and wanted to get a gauge on the state of the team going into the Giants-Ravens game. “Why would you bet on these preseason games?” was his response. Quite [...]
The San Diego Chargers (1-1) and New Orleans Saints (1-1) meet for the first time since reigning Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees avenged his departure from Southern California in London nearly two years ago. Brees played five seasons with San Diego before he was let go as a free agent in favor of current Chargers [...]
For the second consecutive week, the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints (0-1) held joint practices with their opponent leading up to their preseason game. The Saints hope that will not work against them again when they face the Houston Texans (0-1) in the preseason for the third year in a row on Saturday. [...]
The New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints got a sneak preview of each other earlier in the week when they practiced together, meeting for the first time since the defending Super Bowl champions made a big statement in a 38-17 rout on Monday Night Football last November. The Saints still need a couple more [...]
This is a very interesting time when it comes to NFL win totals betting. They have been posted for a while now, so the initial action has bet out any obvious errors, but the public hasn’t yet paid a lot of attention to them. That likely means that the futures are somewhat more accurate now [...]

Some looking back, and some looking ahead: 1. Peyton Manning. There is no question – he lost that game with a pass he shouldn’t have made. That’s not the only reason that New Orleans won, of course, but it was the final straw, and he made the mistake when the team had a very legitimate [...]
What follows is my opinion only, and not necessarily the opinion of everyone else here at Maddux Sports: The Saints are going to win the Super Bowl. I have many good reasons why I have come to this conclusion, but here are seven:
I can’t put my finger one why exactly it is, but I’m not as excited about this Super Bowl as I have been in the past. It doesn’t necessarily make a lot of sense. I mean, I have a whole lot of respect for both offenses, and both defenses have enough problems that there is [...]
Five questions I have been asking myself about each of today’s games: Jets (+7.5) at Colts 1. Will Sanchez’ weak play be a liability? I think that underwhelming play from Sanchez is a given – he hasn’t been particularly good in a long, long time. So far in the playoffs the coaching staff has been [...]
