Live NFL - Miami Dolphins at New Orleans Saints 1.40am ESPN

The Fins have had a spectacular start, and Ryan Tannehill has had much to do with that, making the most of a receiving corps that doesn't look like a dangerous group. Tonight will be Tannehill's biggest test, with a decent Saints rush and a secondary that is combining to rank the home defense second against the pass.

It will be interesting to see how Miami attack New Orleans, particularly if they fall behind. There have been problems along the offensive line for the Dolphins, so that may make keeping pace difficult. Look for Charles Clay as an outlet for a pressured Tannehill.

The Saints are clearly happier with Payton on the sideline and Drew Brees is putting up big numbers. Jimmy Graham is magnificent, and he and Colston are the receivers of choice. The ground game is poor, but Miami were run on last week and with Soliai nicked up, they may be vulnerable again. If the Saints' run game gets going, it will be a tough night for the Dolphins.

I'll give a touchdown at home.

Pick: New Orleans Saints -7 @ 1.97
Pick: Over 48 @ 1.95

Pick: 1st TD Marques Colston @ 10
Pick: Anytime TD Charles Clay @ 3.5
