08-26-23 | Browns -3.5 v. Chiefs | Top | 32-33 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 13 m | Show |
Cleveland at Kansas City 1:00 ET Browns (-) over Chiefs- Kansas City wants out of this game so bad that they are so happy playing at home and they can get an early start on their 12 days before opening the season on Thursday Night September 7 hosting the Lions. Andy Reid got his win last week as the Chiefs started the preseason with a loss, but bounced back with an emphatic 38-10 win over the Arizona Cardinals last weekend. The Browns are coming off an 18-18 tie with the Philadelphia Eagles in their last outing and while no Chiefs starters will see action the Browns have hinted that they might give their starters a bit more playing time than the Chiefs in the final week of exhibition play. Browns take what the Chiefs give them a meaningless preseason win (meaningless to THEM!). Take CLEVELAND! |

08-25-23 | Chargers v. 49ers -7.5 | Top | 23-12 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 21 m | Show |
LA Chargers at San Francisco 1:00 ET 49ers (-) over Chargers- Los Angeles is set at quarterback with Justin Herbert in fold for years t come but his play will not begin tonight. On the other side of the field San Francisco appears to have their QB issues settled but there is huge competition between Trey Lance (who may end up the odd man out) and San Darnold. Believe it or ot it appears that Darnold has the edge to back up Brock Pudry who will play tonight. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

08-19-23 | Bucs +3.5 v. Jets | Top | 13-6 | Win | 100 | 9 h 13 m | Show |
Tampa Bay at New York Jets 7:30 ET Buccaneers (+) over Jets- Okay the Jets are a team that will have to be dealt with during the season as they have become the media darlings now that Aaron Rodgers is leading the charge. New York just humiliated Carolina 27-0 last time out but they realize that crushing an opponent in these meaningless games has little value except to draw attention from the populace. Tampa Bay has fallen off the charts since the departure of Tom Brady and little is expected from them. But, the Buc’s have a real competition among QB’s in camp and they will scrap for the full 60 minutes. Take TAMPA BAY! |

08-18-23 | Bengals v. Falcons -6.5 | Top | 13-13 | Loss | -104 | 19 h 10 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Atlanta 7:30 ET Falcons (-) over Bengals- I don’t believe that Cincinnati will come to play until Joe Burrow returns to action. The Bengals are now seasoned pro’s who have make the playoffs the past two years and they understand that it is a long season and it really won’t start for them until Joe Cool is back under center. Last week Green Bay ran the ball on Cincy and so will Atlanta who had the number three rushing attack in the entire NFL last season. Falcons will showcase the number six pick in the entire 2023 draft running back Bijan Robinson from Texas. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
08-12-23 | Eagles +5 v. Ravens | Top | 19-20 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Baltimore 7:00 ET Eagles (+) over Ravens- The Eagles will be playing the most difficult schedule in the NFL this season after having played the softest schedule in 2022 making it to the Super Bowl. Baltimore under John Harbaugh have the most incredible pre-season record of any team in modern or past history winning 22 of 23 games outright and going 21-2 ATS. Lamar Jackson is back for the Ravens but for sure will not see any action here and they are a different team when he plays and the club plays differently. Take PHILADELPHIA! |
|||||||
08-11-23 | Falcons -2 v. Dolphins | Top | 19-3 | Win | 100 | 20 h 26 m | Show |
Atlanta at Miami 7:10 ET Falcons over Dolphins- I have seen these two a number of times in preseason meetings in Miami and it never seems to go the Dolphins way. Miami has a lot of heavy expectations on them this season and it all comes down to Tua Tagovailoa and his ability to play a full season. Tua actually led the NFL in efficiency and yards per play last season when he was able to play. The Dolphins have loaded up their roster and want to keep their game breakers and play makers healthy so they will see little if any action at all. Atlanta will be fighting to find themselves and won’t be as conservative as the Fins. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
08-10-23 | Texans -3.5 v. Patriots | Top | 20-9 | Win | 100 | 31 h 58 m | Show |
Houston at New England 7:10 ET Texans over Patriots- I know what a way to start the pre-season but when it comes up it has to be taken down. this line is too much for me to bare and knowing Belichick is laying down here. Texans much more to prove and will be putting forth a bit more effort. don’t worry about who is playing because there will be a few more like this one before its all said and done. Take HOUSTON! |

08-28-22 | Lions +6.5 v. Steelers | Top | 9-19 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 18 m | Show |
Detroit at Pittsburgh 4:30 ET Lions (+) over Steelers- The buzz around the steelers is about the battle that they having at quarterback. Already 2-0 their trio of the rookie Kenny Pickett, veteran Mitch Trubisky and Steeler vet QB Mason Rudolph have led the charge and Harris in the backfield is a huge factor. But, I don't expect much from them today. The Lions are rarin' to ro |

08-27-22 | Washington Commanders +6 v. Ravens | Top | 15-17 | Win | 100 | 9 h 12 m | Show |
Washington at Baltimore 7:05 ET Commanders (+) over Ravens- All I have say about this game is of Lamar Jackson plays he is not the 'brightest' bulb on the tree. Baltimore has now won 3,321 straight preseason games (Okay I embellished a little) and it's getting to where the 'public' is riding them every week during the preseason. So, playing the part of the spoiler the 0-2 Commanders will tip the cart over against the 2-0 Ravens. I don't expect Baltimore to show anything or play any starters at all. Take WASHINGTON! |
|||||||
08-26-22 | Bills v. Panthers -6.5 | Top | 0-21 | Win | 100 | 9 h 53 m | Show |
Buffalo at Carolina 7:05 ET Panthers (-) over Bills- Now, isn't this silly! Only three other teams won less games than Carolina last season while Buffalo is the definitive AFC favorite to get to the Super Bowl. The Bills are 2-0 in the preseason and are ready for their opener in LA right now coming off their 42-15 beatdown over Denver. Mayfield earned the starting nod and the team is settled and more confident with the choice as Darnold everybody realizes is the pits. Watch for the Bills to avoid playing anyone of significance while looking for Sam Darnold to lead the second half win and cover. Take CAROLINA! |
|||||||
08-21-22 | Bengals v. Giants -5 | Top | 22-25 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 60 m | Show |
Cincinnati at New York Giants 7:10 ET Giants over Bengals- For the most part the Super Bowl loser has a difficult time the following year and not only during the regular season but the preseason as well. Even though Joe Burrow won't be playing but I can't get past him getting sacked nine time in the playoffs and they still won. Now, no Burrow but the same lineman. New York will for the most part use Tyron Taylor and the veteran is perfect for the preseason as he runs and is expendable. Giants come up big at home. Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
08-20-22 | Cowboys +3.5 v. Chargers | Top | 32-18 | Win | 100 | 19 h 17 m | Show |
Dallas at L.A. Chargers 10:10 ET Cowboys over Chargers- Both of these clubs were 'Public' favorites last week and both were unimpressive. Dallas was shut out for 55+ minutes before scoring during garbage time and San Diego played fair against the Rams having 120 yards in penalties. The Cowboys had covered their last four preseason road games and after last week's 17-7 loss at Denver they have taken a lot of heat for their effort. The 'Boys' will be looking to right themselves here. Take DALLAS! |
|||||||
08-20-22 | Lions -3 v. Colts | Top | 27-26 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 18 m | Show |
Detroit at Indianapolis 1:10 ET Lions over Colts- This is another of those silly 'prices' (like yesterday's Houston) where the worst is favored on the road. Indianapolis is expected to make a playoff run with QB Matt Ryan leading the way. But, the Colts the receiver of five Buffalo turnovers last week did what they do beat and blew a fourth quarter lead and couldn't take advantage of the gifts the Bills gave them. Detroit believe it or not was the 'public' choice last week and failed against the lowly Falcons in a game they dominated the clock and yardage but, a pair of turnovers did them in as they lost at home 27-23. This time they are road favorite (silly isn't it) so I expect the colts to come up lame. Take DETROIT! |
|||||||
08-19-22 | Texans -135 v. Rams | Top | 24-20 | Win | 100 | 12 h 18 m | Show |
Houston at L.A. Rams 10:10 ET Texans over Rams- For the Super Bowl champs to be an underdog at home against this Houston club has me believing that the Rams will show nothing and play no one of significance. Los Angeles won their first preseason game 29-22 over their in town rival the Chargers. The Texans have an open slate as very little is expected of them and they will be fight for their football lives and jobs each time out. Houston eked out a 17-13 win over the Saints by scoring with :25 to go from Jeff Driskel who is with his fourth team in his fourth season. This NASA group will come to play. Take HOUSTON! |
|||||||
08-14-22 | Vikings +4.5 v. Raiders | Top | 20-26 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 34 m | Show |
Minnesota at Las Vegas 4:35 ET Vikings (+) over Raiders- I don't care, I just don't care how great the reports are about the Raiders camp and how much George hates Minny QB Cousins...I don't care. Las Vegas is not suppose to win this game they shouldn't 'cover' the number. But remember, the more they win this preseason the better to play Under total wins for the regular season. Okay, enough of that the Raiders cruised 27-11 in the Hall of Fame game against Jacksonville the NFL's worst in 2021.Take MINNESOTA! |
|||||||
08-13-22 | Chiefs v. Bears | Top | 14-19 | Win | 100 | 19 h 31 m | Show |
Kansas City at Chicago 1:00 ET Bears over Chiefs- Kansas City came within one-half game of making it to the Super Bowl for the AFC while the Bears may be consider the second worst team in the NFC. I don't expect any of the Chiefs front line players to even get near the field while Chicago with only three preseason games have to get as much work in as possible with their young QB and developing players. Take Da' BEARS! |
|||||||
08-11-22 | Giants -2.5 v. Patriots | Top | 23-21 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 16 m | Show |
N.Y. Giants at New England 7:00 ET Giants over Patriots- The old and the new NLL coaches will face each other here as the Giants go with the 'new' in Brian Daboll and the vet is Bill Belichick of course. New York's top two players are in a make or break season as QB Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley have been put on notice snd will see plenty of action tonight. The Patriots who opened the favorite and are now an underdog at home will be resting most starters including Mac Jones. Take NEW YORK GIANTS! |
|||||||
08-29-21 | Patriots v. Giants +3.5 | Top | 22-20 | Win | 100 | 8 h 17 m | Show |
New England at New York Giants 6:00 ET Giants (+) over Patriots- New England is 2-0 in this year's preseason games while the Giants are 0-2 entering the final tune-up game before the records really count. This New York/Boston rivalry doesn't match the Yankees and Red Sox intensity but for some reason the Giants have always given the Patriots a difficult time winning five straight matchups ATS until their last meeting in 2019. Bill Belichick is pleased with the Pats play this preseason and now is looking toward their opener against the Dolphins in two weeks. Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
08-29-21 | Jaguars -4 v. Cowboys | Top | 34-14 | Win | 100 | 3 h 18 m | Show |
Jacksonville at Dallas 1:00 ET Jaguars (-) over Cowboys- Both of these clubs are winless in the preseason and neither are looking like playoff teams at this time. Through the years Dallas has been one of the worst preseason bets as they are 21-41 as favorites and 26-38 as underdogs in these meaningless games. Jacksonville is going with Trevor Lawrence for sure as they traded Gardner Minshew to the Eagles just days ago and will have veteran CJ Beathard in reserve. Jaguars coach Urban Meyer is looking for his first win as an NFL coach even if it is the preseason and will not be shy here while the Cowboys will sit at least 30 payers according to coach Mike McCarthy. Take JACKSONVILLE! |

08-27-21 | Steelers v. Panthers -3.5 | Top | 9-34 | Win | 100 | 9 h 16 m | Show |
Pittsburgh at Carolina 7:30 ET Panthers (-) over Steelers- The Steelers who faltered down the stretch last season are off to a 3-0 preseason and will rest key players in their final preseason clash with Carolina. Pittsburgh will sit quarterbacks Ben Roethlisberger and Mason Rudolph as well as running back Najee Harris but will go with their starting offensive line for a good portion of the game. Carolina is 0-2 in the preseason and coach Matt Rhule is looking to close on a positive note and will get the most out of running back Chuba Hubbard and Sam Darnold as well as newly signed WR Robby Anderson. Take the PANTHERS! |

08-23-21 | Jaguars +4 v. Saints | Top | 21-23 | Win | 100 | 11 h 52 m | Show |
Jacksonville at New Orleans 8:00 ET Jaguars (+) over Saints- The coaching change in Jacksonville by bringing Urban Meyer to take over the reins may help, but even with Meyer at the helm the Jaguars lost their fifth straight pre-season game last week to Cleveland 22-13 opening as the favorite and are 0-5 ATS in those losses. New Orleans had quite a day in their opener as begun the post-Drew Brees era by committing six turnovers in their 19-16 loss to Baltimore with each quarterback throwing an interception while getting penalized 10 times. But, the true reason I like the Jags here is coaching. I just believe that Meyer will look to establish a positive mantra with his 'new' club here. Take JACKSONVILLE! |

08-29-19 | Giants +3 v. Patriots | Top | 31-29 | Win | 100 | 7 h 50 m | Show |
New York Giants at New England 7:30 ET Giants (+) over Patriots- A pair teams with 3-0 pre-season records clash in Foxboro where two rivals will meet once again. With the understanding that this pits an AFC and NFC matchup but these two play every pre-season and have met in post season and the Giants always seem to get the best of it. New York is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. The Patriots are an incredible 41-17 ATS overall in last 57 and 39-12-2 ATS at home. New York on the other hand is 7-0 ATS in their last seven road games. New England has accomplished its goals this preseason and the Giants are still a work in process. Take NEW YORK! |

08-25-19 | Steelers v. Titans -125 | Top | 18-6 | Loss | -125 | 8 h 24 m | Show |
Pittsburgh at Tennessee 8:00 ET Titans over Steelers- Now that the 'peace' has been restored in Pittsburgh the Steelers have been able to focus on their play and are 2-0 this pre-season and are coming off a 17-7 win over Kansas City. I believe at this point they are looking to just get out of Dodge unharmed. Tennessee on the other hand still have many questions that need to be answered and they will be determined in play tonight. Quarterbacking will be the key and with the home team 4-1 in the last five meetings...Take TITANS! |

08-24-19 | Saints v. Jets +3 | Top | 28-13 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 43 m | Show |
New Orleans at New York Jets 7:30 ET Jets over Saints- This NFL pre-season has been different from any other I've experienced previously. The reason is that starters are seeing less and less time on the field and many coaches are just having the players going through the motions. The Saints are a club that has already accomplished their pre-season goal having an offense that moves the ball and a defense that stood up hen needed last week. The Jets on the other hand realize that they have plenty of work left to do. New York has been out-gained by 141 by the Giants and 128 yards by Atlanta in their 22-10 win. Jets will play their starters into the third quarter and get the win. Take J-E-T-S! |
|||||||
08-23-19 | Bills v. Lions +3 | Top | 24-20 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 53 m | Show |
Buffalo at Detroit 8:00 ET Lions over Bills- Here we have one of the worst coached teams Detroit (0-2 SU, 0-2 ATS) hosting an up and coming club in Buffalo. The Bills (2-0 SU, 2-0 ATS) led by former Wyoming QB Josh Allen are placed in an unusual place as a road favorite and in such a meaningless game. The Lions under Matt Patricia have looked dazed and confused at times after getting abused by New England 31-3 at home in their pre-season opener. I expect a better effort in front of the home crowd this time around. Take DETROIT! |
|||||||
08-30-18 | Vikings v. Titans +1 | Top | 13-3 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 47 m | Show |
Minnesota at Tennessee 8:00 ET Titans over Vikings- Tennessee made a coaching move in the off-season and it may have been a mistake. New coach Mike Vrabel is still looking for his first pro win as the Titans are 0-3 in pre-season action and have looked terrible offensively. Most new coaches look to establish a 'winning culture' upon entering a 'new' situation and that certainly hasn't been the case here. Minnesota staged a great coming from behind win last week in their 21-20 win over Seattle and are favorites in the NFC with 'Kirk' Cousins leading the way. The Vikings will look to protect their assets while the Titans are looking to show something positive for their home fans entering the season. Take TENNESSEE! |

08-25-18 | Ravens v. Dolphins +1 | Top | 27-10 | Loss | -104 | 9 h 11 m | Show |
Baltimore at Miami 7:00 ET Dolphins over Ravens- This is the fourth game of the preseason for the Ravens and they have posted three wins but are only 1-2 ATS. Miami on the other hand is 0-2 both SU and ATS and have lost their last five overall and 8-of-10. Baltimore has now won 11 straight preseason games under Harbaugh and it looks like the odds-makers are giving 'you' or 'us' a chance to take them without laying points (they actually might go to a small favorite). Week 3 is supposed to be a 'dress' rehearsal for the opener but the Ravens are ready now. This game has so much more significance for the Dolphins who has Ryan Tannehill back this season and will use him tonight. Oh I almost forgot to tell you my friends at Playbook tell me that 'any 0-2 team that is a dog or favorite by 2 or less points in Game three has an ATS record of 24-7 77%.' So, take MIAMI! |

08-24-18 | Packers v. Raiders -6 | Top | 6-13 | Win | 100 | 12 h 29 m | Show |
Green Bay at Oakland 10:30 ET Raiders (-) over Packers- Boy oh boy! You have got to be kidding me. The Green Bay Packers have scored 82 points in two pre-season wins including 51 last week against Pittsburgh while the Raiders under John Gruden are 1-1 and are off last weeks loss at the Rams 19-15 scoring a total of 31 points on their two contests. Here's the thing the Packers have had two blowout wins at home and must now take to the road and open a 7-point underdog. Now, think about this, the Pack just scored 51 points and have two huge wins at Lambeau Field and now in their first road test they are the largest dog on the card this week against a team that didn't score a point with their starters in the game. I don't expect much of an effort out of Green Bay and neither do the oddsmakers. Take OAKLAND! |

08-20-18 | Ravens v. Colts +2 | Top | 20-19 | Win | 100 | 9 h 26 m | Show |
Baltimore at Indianapolis 8:00 ET Colts (+) over Ravens- The long awaited return of Andrew Luck has been realized and his playing time increased but his ability to throw the ball down field without pain has been noted. Baltimore of course has quarterback issues of their own as exciting draft pick Lamar Jackson and veteran starter Joe Flacco have not warmed up to each other and Robert Griffin III is around for clean up work. The Colts new head coach Frank Reich brought in new offensive and defensive co-coordinators and all are playing every game to win especially now to establish as winning culture. Take INDIANAPOLIS! |

Seattle at L.A. Chargers 10:00 ET Chargers (-) over Seahawks- Since taking over the Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll has had the best pre-season ATS record of any other team in the NFL Entering this season he is 34-14-1 ATS in his preseason career including 7-1 ATS the past two seasons. But, things change and the Seahawks lost their opener to the Colts 19-17 and trends head in opposite directions. The Chargers also took and opening week lost at Arizona and look to establish a favorable home base. Things change...take the CHARGERS! |

New York Jets at Washington 8:00 ET Redskins over Jets- Most of us saw his performance last week and opposition players are raving about New York's Number One draft pick (#3 overall) quarterback San Darnold. The Jets are coming off a 17-0 win over Atlanta while the Redskins blew a 17-0 halftime lead at New England. The Jets also have a come-back story with Teddy Bridgewater and Josh McCown while Washington has newly acquired Alex Smith and Colt McCoy who left with that 17-0 lead at halftime while Smith will see his first preseason action tonight. After blowing the lead and the Jets winning by a shutout fortunes should reverse here. Take WASHINGTON! |

08-31-17 | Eagles v. Jets -115 | Top | 10-16 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show |
Philadelphia at New York Jets 7:00 ET Jets over Eagles- There has been mystery in the Jets camp this pre-season as they have been projected as the NFL's worst team and by a far margin at that! Head coach Todd Bowles was silent on his starting quarterback but found the answer in veteran Josh McCown who was named the starter on Monday. McCown has played just one series this summer and that was on August 12 a 7-3 win over Tennessee. Bowles tried in the worst way to hand the job over to their 2016 No. 1 draft pick Christian Hackenberg but his 65.1 QB rating in pre-season put him where he belongs (on the sidelines). He really belongs in the stands as a spectator as he is that woeful. The Eagles are 2-1 this summer and are off an offensive performance where they scored 38 points against Miami. You won't see that kind of offensive effort Thursday as Philly lays low before their opening trip to Washington. Take the J-E-T-S! |

L.A. Chargers at L.A. Rams 8:00 ET Chargers (+) over Rams- The first 'new' battle for Los Angeles takes place Saturday and the undefeated Rams host the winless Chargers in what is sure to become a heated rivalry. The Rams are now being led by No. 1 overall draft pick second year quarterback geoff Goff who will be opposed by the Chargers veteran QB Phillip Rivers. Most likely, neither of these clubs will make the playoffs as they just have too many better teams to climb over. The Rams who won just 4-of-16 games last season and averaged only 14 points per contest while the Chargers averaged almost 26 points with their five wins. Take CHARGERS! |

New York Giants at Cleveland 8:00 ET Browns (+) over Giants- The Giants are expected to give the Cowboys a run for the NFL East as they have addressed their lack of running game in the off-season and have what could be considered the best receiving corps in the league. Eli Manning is one of the elite quarterbacks and with this group to throw to with Odell Beckham leading the way but he won't be seeing much if any action tonight. Cleveland has a long way to go to gain respectability but with 'fresh' personnel and better coaching they will show marked improvement. The Browns will show up here but the Giants may not. Take CLEVELAND! |

Green Bay at Washington 7:30 ET Redskins (-) over Packers- It has always been said about the NFL pre-season and often enough about the regular season as well that 'you' should never make evaluations and over-react to a teams performance their first game out. For the fans of the clubs from the Nation's Capitol the Redskins can't possible be as bad as they looked (or played) against the Ravens in their opener as they garnered only 138 total yards on offense. Washington had only 39 yards rushing and allowed four sacks and scored just 3-points their 20-3 loss. Green Bay meanwhile won easily at home 24-9 over Philadelphia and are now getting points from a team that managed just a field goal. The Redskins are favored by more points then the scored last week and that sends up a 'red flag.' Take WASHINGTON! |

New England at New York Giants 7:00 ET Giants over Patriots- New England has done just abut everything right winning all three preseason contests as the enter Giants Stadium for their final game before the real stuff starts while the Giants have looked absolutely terrible with their first string offense no able to move the ball much less core any points. New head coach Ben McAdoo is so concerned he is willing to play his starters the first have in this meaningless encounter. These two teams have met in the final preseason game 10 straight years and the Giants always seem to get the best of it going 5-0 ATS the last five meetings. The fact that New York has been made the favorite here tells the tale of who needs to show up and play. Look for the Giants to put forth a solid effort and win easily as the Pats take the night off. Take the GIANTS! |

Green Bay at San Francisco 10:00 ET 49ers over Packers- If ever there was a 'Don't Make Sense' Game this is it. Green Bay has had two impressive home wins to open the Pre-season and are traveling to San Francisco to play the lowly 49ers. Even though San Francisco is off an huge win at Denver (31-24) it does not warrant them being a favorite over the Packers anywhere. The fact that they are favored tells me Green Bay will not be 'All-in' tonight while the Niners Head Coach Chip Kelly is looking to install a winning attitude for his troupes. In a preseason surprise take SAN FRANCISCO! |

08-18-16 | Bears +3.5 v. Patriots | Top | 22-23 | Win | 100 | 11 h 42 m | Show |
Chicago at New England 8:00 ET Bears (+) over Patriots- If this game was being played during the regular season I would 'love' the Bears in this spot. They enter this contest scoreless in their opening pre-season game at home while New England scored an NFL high 34 points last week. Chicago managed just 160 yards total offense last week as they showed nothing positive against the Super Bowl champion Broncos. The the Patriots play Carolina next week and Game 3 is the one game Belichick concentrates on. Take the BEARS! |

Houston at San Francisco 7:00 ET 49ers (-) over Texans- If ever a team needs to show something early it's the 49ers who are off really bad things both on and off the field in 2015. Just five wins and a quarterback controversy that parallels any other surrounded San Francisco last season as Colin Kapernick became the 30 million dollar man and then the Niners realized that he can't play quarterback at a professional level. Now they have a 'new' head coach in Chip Kelly that will reinvigorate a lifeless offense. Blaine Gabbert will see the majority of action as Kaepernick has come up with some sort of injury that will keep off the field. Houston won seven of their last nine last season and now has Brock Osweiler at QB but are pointing to their home opener next week. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

New York Jets at New York Giants 7:00 ET Jets (+) over Giants- Every season they play this contest and the New York media tries to make it a big deal whereas the players are just trying to stay healthy. The Jets one of my 'Top-plays' last week (4-0) committed 17 penalties in their come-from-behind win over Atlanta and with a new coach and staff they will try desperately try and improve while the Giants with a veteran staff and offense will just go through the motions. Eli Manning was 4 of 14 last week and don't look to show much as these two clubs meet again during the regular season. With more on the line take the JETS! |

08-23-15 | Dallas Cowboys v. San Francisco 49ers -4 | Top | 6-23 | Win | 100 | 26 h 5 m | Show |
Dallas at San Francisco 8:00 ET Niners (-) over Cowboys- How could this bunch, the San Francisco 49ers be favored over the Cowboys at any time? Well, it is preseason football and while Dallas is playing their second straight on the road they are thinking of gearing up for Game 3 their home opener (even for preseason) next week against Minnesota. This is the home debut for Jim Tomsula and that is always a consideration for a new head coach as /he looks to make a positive impression before the 'shit hits the fan' so to speak because the Niners with be lucky to match last years eight win and will most likely end up with four or five. But, tonight Dallas will be distracted and San Francisco for what it's worth should be focused. Take the 49ERS! |

08-21-15 | Atlanta Falcons v. NY Jets -120 | Top | 22-30 | Win | 100 | 12 h 37 m | Show |
Atlanta at New York Jets 7:30 ET Jets over Falcons- Every year I find a spot where I think the 'Green Slime' (Jets) will come up big because they look so bad and this week I have already found it. Let me start by saying that I am a lifetime New York Giants fan and love to see their cross-town rivals fail but this is just too much for me to pass up. We are all familiar with New York's problems with suspensions and injuries on defense and a quarterback situation that is a complete joke on a professional level. They have a new head coach Todd Bowles that saw their only strong point their defense give up 430 yards and nearly 200 on the ground last week at Detroit. On offense they have an epic failure in Chan Gailey leading the way and they managed only six first downs and three points in their first experience together. But, here it is the Falcons who were up against another of the league's doormats in the Tennessee Titans needed a late TD to get the win. This week the Jets 'must' show the fan base something or the media and their most ardent supporters will turn their backs on this ugly show. Atlanta won at home against the Titans and they are no prize on the road. Take the J-E-T-S! |

08-14-15 | Pittsburgh Steelers v. Jacksonville Jaguars -105 | Top | 21-23 | Win | 100 | 12 h 42 m | Show |
Pittsburgh at Jacksonville 7:30 ET Jaguars (+) over Steelers- The conventual thinking here is that Pittsburgh has the advantage as they have one game under-the-belt and have had more time to work out problems as the Steelers reported to camp five days before the Jaguars. Pittsburgh has made some philosophy changes under Mike Tomlin as they were 16-9 (65%) ATS in preseason action from 2007-2011 but since that time they have gone 2-10-1 ATS as he is looking toward the season opener against New England. Jacksonville is looking to give their home fans something to cheer about and I expect a more concentrated attitude from the Jaguars. Take JACKSONVILLE! |
