The New Orleans Saints may be one of two undefeated teams in the NFL this year but you can rest assured that they will be measuring themselves against the New England Patriots, who are the barometer of success in the NFL.
The Saints have been impressive this year on both sides of the ball, which very well may be the difference in this game. Not only is the Saints offense dominating, the defense has been making plays as well as the additions of coordinator Gregg Williams and safety Darren Sharper have had a huge impact.

Dolphins (-3) vs. Bills (+3)
(O/U) 40
Sunday, November 29 1:00 PM ET
Reeling Bills Host Red-Hot Dolphins Ricky, don’t lose that number!
The Miami Dolphins (5-5 SU, 5-5 ATS, 6-4 O/U) have looked absolutely fantastic the last two weeks, featuring former league rushing champion Ricky Williams as their go-to guy after Wildcat specialist Ronnie Brown was lost for the remainder of the regular season.
The Minnesota Vikings are rolling smoothly this season and will try to end the 11 point underdogs Chicago Bears playoffs hopes at 4:15 PM ET at Metrodome in a NFC North clash.
All fingers are pointing towards Donavan McNabb to pull the Philadelphia Eagles within firing range of the playoffs. With the Cowboys winning another game against the Raiders, the lead in the NFC East is getting much larger. McNabb has been a known letdown when it comes to mounting pressure, and even though the Eagles have a sturdy record, their reputation is proceeding them as they host the Washington Redskins.
There’s absolutely nothing going right in Tampa Bay right now, but after they fired their two coordinators and promoted a positions coach to head coach, jettisoned the aging defensive stalwarts that defined their team and gave the role of quarterback to three guys with zero proven track record (Leftwich, Johnson, Freeman), there really wasn’t much hope for them.
NFL: Texans in Must Win Game against Undefeated Colts
Game-day: 11/29/2009

The Houston Texans blew their Monday game against the Tennessee Titans, losing 20 to 17 as 6 ½ point favorites in the NFL sportsbook, and now face a must win game this Sunday. Houston is 5 and 5 straight-up and considering how many playoff contenders there are in the AFC, Miami and Baltimore are both 5 and 5, Pittsburgh and Denver are 6 and 4, any loss, or win, from here on out is going to vault you into playoff contention.

NFL Point Spread: Colts -3, O/U: 47

NFL Betting Odds – AFC North Matchup Pits Browns at Bengals
Browns (+14) vs. Bengals (-14)
(O/U) 39½
Sunday, November 29 1:00 PM ET
The Cincinnati Bengals (7-3 SU, 6-4 ATS, 5-5 O/U) were on the wrong end of arguably the biggest upset on the schedule in Week 11.
The Houston Texans have done some growing in their fourth year under head coach Gary Kubiak. After finishing 8-8 in the previous two seasons, they have made a reason push for the playoffs. Unfortunately, some fourth quarter failures have left the Texans at their typical .500 and they are 5-5 after 10 games.
