Who are the public sports bettors backing? They are all over the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints heading into Saturday night. The Saints were getting over 85 percent of the betting action. Pittsburgh was getting over 90 percent of the betting action in their game against the Chicago Bears. These were the most bet on teams and would therefore cause the most damage to bookmakers with wins (covers).
The Saints are a -1 favorite in Philadelphia at SBG Global following news that quarterback Donovan McNabb will likely not be starting due to an injury he sustained last weekend against Carolina.
McNabb is being listed as a doubtful starter for Sunday's home opener against the New Orleans Saints, Eagles head coach Andy Reid said on Friday.
McNabb skipped practice during the week after suffering a cracked rib against Carolina last weekend.
Reid said McNabb's condition was improving but indications are that third-year pro Kevin Kolb could make his first National Football League start Sunday.
Philadelphia backup quarterback Michael Vick is not eligible to play until next week.
The Pittsburgh Steelers, meanwhile, come into Chicago as a -3 favorite. Both teams are without key players due to injury. The Bears lost Brian Urlacher while the Steelers lost Troy Polamalu.
