NFL Free Pick: Take the under. According to latest NFL trends, there have been less than 30 combined points scored in three of the last five HOF games. Arizona comes into this game looking to find a starting quarterback. Kevin Kolb and John Skelton are not Drew Brees, who will see very little time tonight. He has to get used to not seeing his head coach Sean Payton, who was also the offensive guru who helped guide Brees and their high-powered offense. Payton is suspended for the season due to "bounty gate" so Joe Vitt takes over but will have to sit out the first 6 games of the regular seaosn.. After Brees, there's the exciting trio of Chase Daniel, Sean Canfield and Luke McCown. Expect New Orleans to be improved defensively with the additions of linebackers Curtis Lofton and David Hawthorne. There is a 40% chance of thunderstorms in this game.
