The San Diego Chargers and New Orleans Saints meet at Wembley on Sunday in what will be the second regular NFL season game played at the stadium. The Chargers are the favourites to win the game at odds of 20/33 with Bet365 but the handicap line set at -3/+3 suggests that this is set to be a close game.
The odds on a New Orleans Saints victory are 29/20, but the news that star Runing Back, Reggie Bush, is out with a knee injury will come as a major blow for the Saints. However, for a team ranked number 1 in offense for the entire NFL so far this season, the Saints are sure to pose a big threat to the Chargers Defense, even without Bush.
Both teams come in to the game with 3-4 records for the season and with the mid point of the season coming after sunday's week 8 encounter, the outcome of the game is sure to prove pivotal for both teams play off aspirations.
Whichever team is victorious at Wembley will go 4-4 and remain on track to make the post season, while the loser will have their work cut out. Several members of the New York Giants team, who beat the Miami Dolphins in last season's Wembley game, cited that the trip to London was the catalyst which propelled them to Superbowl victory, something that both the Chargers and Saints will be hoping to repeat.

Last year, the weather put a stop to any sort of passing game, but with the weather in London on Sunday expected to be dry and both teams boasting Quarterbacks that rank in the top four of the NFL for passing yards this season, fans should be in for plenty of plays through the air.
Saints Quarterback, Drew Brees, is averaging over 300 passing yards per game this season and against a San Diego Chargers Defense ranked bottom for pass defense he should continue that trend and the Ladbrokes quote of 5/6 that he throws for more than 295 yards at Wembley looks a great bet.
With both teams possessing big offensive threats and questionable defensive units, the game could well be a high scoring affair and the 10/11, also with Ladbrokes, that their are more than 45 points scored in the game makes plenty of appeal.
With the game being shown live on both Sky Sports and BBC 2, the interest in American Football in the UK this weekend is surely to be much greater than usual and bookmakers are already reporting increased interest on the game.
