Saints Host Dolphins in Money Making Preseason Contest
by BetUS Staff

Alright BetUS NFL sports wagering fanatics, you boy ‘E Dubya’ is back with another NFL preseason winner in this Week Four preseason finale!
This final preseason ‘money-maker’ should get bettors off to a solid start with next season’s NFL regular season opener in the BetUS Sportsbook.
The Miami Dolphins, (2-1 SU, 2-1 ATS, 0-3 O/U) have been instantly energized by the addition of veteran quarterback Chad Pennington after signing the accurate passer following his release by the New York Jets who opted to trade for legendary quarterback Brett Favre.
Miami has won two consecutive preseason contests in the BetUS Sportsbook with Pennington at the helm, shutting out the Kansas City Chiefs, 24-0 at home on Saturday, just one week after surprising the Jacksonville Jaguars 19-14 on the road.
While Miami’s 27th-ranked offense this preseason, BetUS NFL bettors should figure on the Dolphins’ offense improving under Pennington during the course of the regular season.
The Dolphins have used a spectacular defensive effort this preseason to hold their opponents to just 259.7 total yards per game, (4th) and an eye-opening 10.3 points per contest, second in all of football.
Miami will take on a New Orleans Saints, (2-1 SU, 2-1 ATS, 1-2 O/U) team that is coming off a 13-0 road shutout over the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday that followed a close 31-27 home loss to the Houston Texans one week earlier.
New Orleans has recorded top five units on both sides of the ball, ranking second in total offense per game this preseason, (390.7) while holding their opponents to just 266.0 yards per contest, (fifth).
Ironically, New Orleans is ranked seventh in scoring, both offensively, (21.3 ppg) and defensively, (13.7ppg).
Led by All-Pro quarterback Drew Brees, the Saints have legitimate Super Bowl hopes going into 2008, while the Dolphins are rebuilding in a big way under new director of football operations Bill Parcells and his hand-picked head coach, Tony Sparano.

Analysis: While both teams won’t be playing their starters very long in this matchup, Miami will almost assuredly play theirs a bit longer as they will certainly want to win this game more than the veteran-laden Saints who just want to get this contest over with so they can start playing for real next week. Take the younger Dolphins to go all out while trying to win their third straight preseason game and take another small step back toward respectability after the worst season in franchise history in 2007, (1-15).
