NFL Week 4 betting players will be treated to a showdown on Sunday, as New Orleans and their top-ranked offense will host the Jets and their defense, which under new coach Rex Ryan, is third in the league right now.

Jets vs Saints odds – Sunday, October 4, 4:05 PM ET

The Jets forced four turnovers in a 24-17 win over Tennessee at home, picking off Kerry Collins twice while recovering a pair of fumbles. Collins’ counterpart, Mark Sanchez, showed a lot of veteran poise to lead his team to 10 late points in the last 20 minutes of the game, and he went 17-of-30 for 171 yards, two touchdowns and a pick. That’s the thing with Sanchez, and why he’s such an asset to the Jets’ sportsbook picks. So far in his NFL career, he hasn’t looked out of place in the league, and many are raving that he has a maturity well beyond his years.

The Saints managed a measly 378 yards in a 27-7 thrashing of the Bills in Buffalo, and Drew Brees didn’t even have to throw a touchdown pass, going 16-of-29 for 172 yards. Pierre Thomas ran 14 times for 126 yards and two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to seal the deal for the Saints, who also managed to keep Terrell Owens without a catch for the first time in 185 straight games.

New Orleans is a seven-point favorite, and here’s why you should take them in your handicapping software: they’ve won four of their last five against the Jets, although three of those wins came in the Big Apple. The Saints have won seven of their last 10 at home, and they haven’t scored less than 27 points in their last eight at the Superdome. Finally, Sanchez vs Brees has to go to the home quarterback, and Sanchez will finally show a couple of chinks in the armor to give the Saints a few points. The Jets’ defense will keep it from being a blowout, but take the Saints to win comfortably in your sports picks.
