Point Spread: -3.00 | -110.00 New Orleans (Home)
Result: Loss
Both Pittsburgh and New Orleans are 0-2 in preseason.
Sean Payton wants to change that. Saints starters on both offense and defense are expected to see extended action. The Saints want this game.
The same can't be said for Mike Tomlin, who isn't crazy enough to risk Ben Roethlisberger to injury especially since Roethlisberger has become more injury prone the last couple of seasons.
Pittsburgh's 1-9 SU and ATS mark the past three years in preseason isn't a fluke. Tomlin is one of those coaches who does not care about winning these meaningless games.
While Drew Brees should see most of the quarterback action, the Saints also have capable backups in Luke McCown and Garrett Grayson.
The Steelers lost their veteran backup quarterback, Bruce Gradkowski, to a hamstring injury. That means extended playing time for Landry Jones and Bryn Renner, who has been cut by four teams during the past two seasons and likely is going to be out of the NFL when preseason finishes.
