The Minnesota Vikings and the New Orleans Saints will both be looking to go 1-0 on the season when they meet at the Louisiana Superdome on Thursday.
Oddsmakers currently have the Saints listed as 5-point favorites versus the Vikings, while the game’s total is sitting at 48½.
Injuries will have an impact on this game with both teams missing one of their best secondary players, Darren Sharper for the Saints and Cedric Griffin for the Vikings. Sharpers injury looks to be very bad for the Saints as he was the heart and soul of that defense which last year was second in the league in forced turnovers, one behind Green Bay's 40. Sharper by himself contributed 9 of those interceptions and also ran 3 back for touchdowns. Also missing for the Vikings is star wide receiver Sidney Rice.

MINNESOTA VIKINGS vs. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS Betting Pick
This game should be a high scoring game and I really like the over. I am also betting on the Vikings to cover the spread which is now sitting at 6 points favoring the Saints.
