The NFL lines on the game between the New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles in week 2 have moved toward the Saints as Philadelphia quarterback Donovan McNabb is doubtful with a cracked rib. The Eagles will be starting Kevin Kolb at quarterback with newly acquired Jeff Garcia as the backup. Michael Vick will not be eligible to play until next week. The Saints are now a slight favorite in NFL week 2 lines at online sportsbooks for this game on FOX football Sunday. Bet on the Saints - 1! The Eagles are very confident in Kolb at quarterback despite the fact he has never done anything. "I have full confidence in him," Reid said, "I don't worry about his accuracy or knowledge of the offense right now. It's just a matter of getting caught up with the game speed of the regular season." The Eagles may have to find a way to put up some points with someone considering they are facing the high scoring Saints and Drew Brees in NFL odds for week 2. Bet on the Eagles +1! In last week's win over Detroit, Brees threw for 358 yards and tied a team record with six touchdown passes. "I had a lot of opportunities out there," Brees said, "A lot of guys made some big plays in this game." The Saints also got a big game out of running back Mike Bell who rushed for a career-high 143 yards. Starting running back Pierre Thomas may return this week in NFL betting but Bell would still get most of the work since Thomas is not 100%. NFL week 2 lines at youwager have the Saints -1 on the road against the Eagles with a total of 45.5.

Gordon's NFL Picks: I'm starting to notice that the NFL week 2 lines are not leaving any room for error and it is no different with this match-up. I can't jinx my Super Bowl prop bet so the NFL week 2 pick for this game will be to bet on the Saints laying the points on the road to the OVER in a close call parlay at youwager.com. Vegas odds at Caesars sportsbook have the Saints -1 favorites against the Eagles in NFL week 2 lines with a betting total of 46.5.
