There are many angles that suggest going with undefeated road teams in week 3 of preseason is good and going against undefeated home teams is also a strong play. Combining the two works out very well. Among them home teams off at least one win against road teams off consecutive home wins is 41-18 for the road team.

The Saints made significant strides on offense, defense and special teams on Friday night against the Raiders, continuing the progress they have shown from three weeks of training camp practices. New Orleans scored on each of their first five drives with the starting offense, to rack up a 23-0 lead on Oakland. Defensively the first unit held the Raiders scoreless until their final drive of the half, while racking up five sacks, seven overall in the contest.

Obviously it is all about first teams in week 3.
