Lindsay Lohan poisoned herself with drugs while bettors poison themselves by betting on their own. With picks hotter than Anjelah Johnson, the top sports handicappers in NFL betting<\/a> are having another great year.<\/p>\n

Great sportsbook Bodog<\/a> takes a peek at tonight\u2019s card.<\/p>\n

A very possible Super Bowl preview tonight in Green Bay when the Packers, who are the chic sleeper pick to win the NFC, face the reigning AFC champion Indianapolis Colts on ESPN, which means there will be live betting available on Bodog\u2019s NFL odds. Green Bay is a 4-point betting favorite.<\/p>\n

The Colts are one of the worst preseason teams every year \u2013 0-2 this year and 4-21 in their past 25 \u2014 and they don\u2019t care what their exhibition record is because it clearly hasn\u2019t mattered since Indy has won at least 12 games in the regular season for an NFL-record seven seasons in a row. But tonight\u2019s game will \u201cfeel\u201d the most like a regular-season game because starters on every NFL team play the most in the third preseason game.<\/p>\n

Thus we should see Peyton Manning probably into the third quarter. Last week in a loss to Buffalo, Manning was 8-for-15 for 91 yards and a TD pass but also an interception that was returned for a Bills score. The following players are out tonight for Indy: TE Dallas Clark, OT Charlie Johnson, DB Marcus McCauley, RB Devin Moore, DB Jerraud Powers, C Jeff Saturday and DB Kevin Thomas. The Colts\u2019 No. 1 defense has played nine possessions and has two takeaways and forced five punts on seven but allowed to big scoring plays on the other two.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Green Bay\u2019s No. 1 offense has very good in the first two games, scoring four touchdowns in barely more than two quarters of play. But the Packers plan to run a bit more tonight because No. 1 RB Ryan Grant has just eight carries in two games and needs the work. The No.\u20021 unit, behind a sharp Aaron Rodgers, has passed the ball 66.7% percent of the time.<\/p>\n

The Green Bay defense will be without a few key players tonight in S Atari Bigby, LB Clay Matthews, DE Cullen Jenkins and CB Al Harris. The big concern for the season is Harris, who had reconstructive surgery on his left knee and couldn\u2019t pass his physical Monday. He is on the PUP list and if he stays on it to start the regular season \u2013 a definite possibility \u2013 he would miss the first six games.<\/p>\n

These teams last met on October 19, 2008, with Green Bay winning at home, 34-14. They haven\u2019t met in the preseason since 1996.<\/p>\n

Top expert pick on this game: The Great One<\/em> Stevie Vincent is just mortifying the bookies. He\u2019s hit seven straight Level 5s in NFLX. He\u2019s hit 14-of-16 going back to last year. The Great One<\/em> Stevie Vincent has the ESPN O\/U of the CENTURY as he continues to make a mockery of the oddsmaking (lack of) profession. Get the Colts\/Packers over\/under now.

The big storyline for tonight\u2019s apparent mismatch between St. Louis and New England is that 2010 No. 1 overall pick Sam Bradford will make his first start for the Rams. However, the Pats are 8-point favorites on Bodog\u2019s NFL odds, which is by far the biggest spread on the board for Week 3 of the preseason.<\/p>\n

This will be Bradford\u2019s first start since he was hurt last October in the Red River Rivalry loss to Texas. But he is still considered the No. 2 QB on the roster behind A.J. Feeley, who is out with thumb and elbow injuries. Bradford hasn\u2019t looked great so far, completing just 44.4 percent of his passes and yet to throw a touchdown but he also hasn\u2019t played yet with Rams star RB Steven Jackson. Bradford is expected to play at least a half tonight as are all the Rams starters. If the former Heisman winner wants to start Week 1, this is his last chance because starters don\u2019t play much at all in the final preseason game.<\/p>\n

The Pats will also play their starters into the second half tonight. This will be a big test for Wes Welker as he continues to work his way back from that knee injury as his workload will be amped up with an eye on the season opener. He made his post-surgery debut last week against the Falcons, making two catches for 20 yards and playing six of the first eight offensive plays. And running back Laurence Maroney should get plenty of carries after having played just 12 snaps this preseason. Pats linebacker Gary Guyton (who might lose his job to rookie Brandon Spikes) and cornerback Leigh Bodden both should play after missing the first two preseason games with injuries.<\/p>\n

The last time the two teams played was in 2008 when the Rams loss 23-16 in their first visit to Gillette Stadium on Oct. 26, 2008. They haven\u2019t met in the preseason since the Rams moved to St. Louis.<\/p>\n

Bodog<\/a> has prop bets and more for NFL betting.<\/p>\n
