NFL FREE PICK: Take New Orleans over Houston. Houston is 3-10 ATS off an Under. New Orleans is 5-0 ATS in Week 3. The Saints are expected to use this as a dress rehearsal and it's important that the team gets to know interim coach Aaron Kromer. Fortunately the Saints are loaded offensively led by QB Drew Brees and WR Marques Colston. Brees lit up the Texans for 370 yards and three touchdowns to lift New Orleans to a thrilling 40-33 victory over Houston at the Superdome during Week 3 of the 2011 regular season. The Texans allowed their highest point and total yardage (454) amounts of the year in that defeat. The Texans can score but will have trouble slowing down that offense. The Saints have improved defensively from last season.
