San Diego Chargers at New Orleans Saints Odds - NFL Odds Week 8

Two teams that were thought of as Super Bowl contenders in NFL odds are struggling as the New Orleans Saints (3-4) host the San Diego Chargers (3-4) on Sunday at 1:00pm EST on CBS. Odds makers have the Chargers -3 point favorites on the road against the Saints in NFL Week 8 odds with a total of 45. This game will be played in London and unfortunately for the Saints that means they lose a home game since they are the designated home team in this matchup. The Saints will be without Reggie Bush who is injured.

"He has been a big part of what we have been able to do offensively and it's an injury that we have to deal with," Saints coach Sean Payton said. The Saints realize that they really need to win this NFL betting game on Sunday. "We came over here knowing that this is pretty much a must-win game for us," said wide receiver Marques Colston, "We have the bye week next week, and just to go in with a win could set our season back on the right track." The Chargers are not in much better shape although they at least don’t lose a home game by going to London. Last week the Chargers lost 23-14 at Buffalo in NFL betting as quarterback Phillip Rivers fumbled twice and threw an interception.

"The taste of that loss isn't gone by any means," Rivers said. The Chargers quarterback leads the league with 16 TD passes and is supposed to be getting help from LaDainian Tomlinson but that has not been happening. "The run game comes with opportunities and gaining some momentum," Tomlinson said. "Obviously, we didn't have any momentum in the run game. That's why we're suffering." Last year in the first regular season game in London, the Giants beat the Dolphins 13-10.
