The New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers kick off the NFL preseason schedule with the annual Hall of Fame Game this Sunday.
betED.com has the Steelers as 2-point favorites and the game total at 34.5.
Wager on the NFL at betED.com, which has lines up for all 15 games scheduled for the first week of the four-week NFL pre-season.
The Hall of Fame Game at Fawcett Stadium in Canton, Ohio, takes place the day after Gene Hickerson, Michael Irvin, Bruce Matthews, Charlie Sanders, Thurman Thomas and Roger Wehrli are inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame.
The remainder of the NFL preseason gets going the following Thursday, Aug. 9, with two tilts: the Cincinnati Bengals visiting the Detroit Lions and the defending Super Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts taking on the Cowboys in Dallas. The Lions are 1.5-point favorites over the Bengals, with the game total at 35.5, while the Cowboys are 4.5-point favorites over the Colts, with the game total at 35.5.
The Hall of Fame game will be first time in more than 10 years that the Steelers won?t be led by longtime coach Bill Cowher, as new HC Mike Tomlin takes over for the 2007 season after the Steelers? disappointing 8-8 campaign last year.
The Saints made few changes after winning the NFC South last season with a 10-6 record. They went on to lose 39-14 to the Chicago Bears in the NFC Championship.
One player who may be more pumped to get the preseason started is Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger, who had a rough time last year after entering the season still suffering the effects of an offseason motorcycle accident.
The Oakland Raiders beat the Philadelphia Eagles 16-10 in the 2006 Hall of Fame game.
This year?s game will be televised for the first time on the NFL Network.
Other notable games in the first week of the NFL preseason include the New York Jets hosting the Michael Vick-less Atlanta Falcons and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers battling the Super Bowl-favorite New England Patriots, both on Aug. 10, and the Chicago Bears visiting the Houston Texas on Aug. 11.
