The New Orleans Saints vs. Washington Redskins was among the most bet on games heading into the weekend.

The odds on this game were relatively stable having opened at Washington Redskins -1. Most of the books, including our friends over at BetOnline.com have this one as a pick ‘em (even odds either side). Some are leaning only slightly towards the Saints at -1.

Here is a news flash: Gambling911.com believes the line on this game should be much closer to Washington Redskins -5 to -5 ½.

Nearly 95 percent of the betting action was coming in on New Orleans at the -1 line.

The bookies really think they have a great chance here at beating up on their customers with this line. We absolutely LOVE Washington in this situation.

The Redskins intend to focus on Bush tomorrow when they play host to New Orleans in their FedEx Field opener, reports Jason Reid of the Washington Post.

"Much of Washington's defensive plan involves the third-year player, who had an impressive performance in the Saints' season-opening victory over Tampa Bay, defensive coordinator Greg Blache said. The Saints' productive offense, however, also presents other challenges to a defense with several key members slowed because of injuries and whose personnel might not be suited for the basic approach Blache used in Washington's opening loss to the New York Giants."

In transition with Blache in charge defensively, the Redskins face another big test.

"Reggie Bush presents a problem that's totally unique in and of itself," Blache said. "He's better than anybody else in the league right now in a one-on-one situation. He's a Barry Sanders that they use in a lot of different spots. This guy is a game-breaker. He's one of the most exciting people I've seen in my 20 years in the league. He creates mismatches with anybody."
