English Football fans will be familiar with the chants about going to Wembley though this weekend it is fans of the American version of the game which will be filling the London venue as the yearly showcase match takes place. New England return to the ground as they take on St Louis. The Patriots are heavily fancied to win the SuperBowl itself so it is no shock to see them chalked up as 4/11 (pinnacle) favourites for the game. History tends to favour New England who have won three of the last four meetings between these sides. If you think the Rams can get something out of the game then they are available at 27/10 (You Win).

The First Touchdown scorer market is a popular one and is headed by Rob Gronkowski who is 6/1 (general) while Wes Welker is 8/1 (general), Stevan Ridley 9/1 (paddy Power), Steven Jackson 10/1 (general) and Aaron Hernandez 12/1 (paddy Power). This game looks like being a high scoring one as both teams are struggling at the defensive end. The Patriots allowed Mark Sanchez to throw for over 300 yards last weekend and Sanchez is not an elite quarterback, he is very far from elite. The Rams have the offensive weapons to get among the points and I need to say little about the wealth of offensive talent on show for New England. Expect both teams yo be primed to entertain and this could be a high scoring shootout so look to get involved in the over points line. pinnacle are offering 4/5 over 45.5 points are scored and this looks the way to play this one.

The New York Giants are at Dallas in the second live game of the day. The Giants are having a much better season than the Cowboys with a 5-2 record while Dallas are 3-3. A visit to Cowboys stadium would worry most teams not the Giants though as they enter this game on the back of a three game winning streak and a late missed field goal away from six straight wins. The last three games the Giants have played at Dallas they have won and I see no reason why they can not get the same result here. Take the Giants to cover the two point spread which is 20/21 with paddy Power.

The third and final live game Sunday sees New Orleans at Denver in a game that features two of the great Quarterbacks. The Saints and Drew Brees go up against Peyton Manning and the Broncos with the last time these two quarterbacks met it was in a SuperBowl final. Denver are 3-3 for the season while New Orleans are 2-4. Bookmakers make the Broncos the favourites for this game at 2/5 (Skybet/paddy Power/william hill) while New Orleans are 5/2 (boylesports). The bet here is take to the Saints to score over 24 points which is 20/21 at betfred. The Saints are averaging 29.3 points per game and have grabbed 66 in their last two, ranked number in offensive passing yards. The Broncos meanwhile have conceded over 20 points in four of their six games so far this season.

The best bet of the remaining games is Atlanta to beat Philadelphia. One of these has a 6-0 record one of these sides is 3-3, yet the prices do not reflect this. The Falcons are as big as 17/13 (pinnacle) and this is too big to pass up. In a straight shoot out between Matt Ryan and Michael Vick you would take Ryan everytime over the turnover machine Vick. Coach Andy Reid sacked his defensive coordinator though the real issues for the Eagles is the coach himself. Take the Falcons to be in seventh heaven here.

BEST OF THE BETS

GOLD: Atlanta Falcons to beat Philadelphia Eagles, 17/13 (Pinnacle)
SILVER: NY Giants to cover spread v Dallas Cowboys (-2.0) at 20/21 (paddy power)
BRONZE: New Orleans Saints to score over 24 points, 20/21 (betfred)
