For only the second time since coming to The Show at OffshoreInsiders.com, Matt Rivers had a 300,000 play. The first was Washington beating huge favorite USC. The second was yesterday as he called for underdog Maryland to win outright against Clemson and of course they do.

Handicapper Matt Rivers has a free NFL best bet for Sunday and it’s to go with theJets plus 7 at New Orleans
 
Drew Brees and the New Orleans offense is flat out awesome and I mean awesome. These guys have the potential to break records this season and in the controlled environment of the Superdome will be chucking the pigskin around for sure and gaining a bunch of yards as they always seem to do. Plus Sean Payton’s defense has actually stepped up in a big-time way and is looking like a unit that is actually pretty good these days and far from the achilles heel in prior seasons. All in all the Saints could be a major player in the postseason this year and other teams better take some notice if they haven’t already.
 
But with all of the above said how can you still not take a touchdown back with these Jets?Rex Ryan has come in and been unreal coaching up the J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets. Also stealing away studs like Bart Scott and Jim Leonhard to go along with Dorell Revis and others have solidified the Jets defense into one of the league’s best. These guys just fly around the ball and have been dominating opposing quality offenses like the Patriots, Titans and Texans. None of those three are close to the high flying Saints but none of the three are bad either.
 
We are without a doubt at a disadvantage at the quarterback position with rookie Marc Sanchez vs. Breees but give the former USC signal caller some credit as he is appearing to be a total winner who knows how to do what it takes in order to prevail after 60 minutes. If the Jets need a gritty eight yard run the kid can do that. If they need him to throw a ball neatly into tight quarters on a key third down he has proven that he can do that as well. Until Sanchez shows he’s a rookie he really isn’t one and I’m therefore fine with him.
 
I do expect New Orleans to win this game but with the confidence that Ryan’s club has been exuding there is no reason to believe this will not be a tight and hard fought game until the final whistle. To get a full touchdown with a team that has already proven themselves to be one of the better teams in the league is too good to pass up no matter how insane the Saints can be when they have the ball.
 
Free pick: New Orleans wins 27-23, but the Jets cover.
