Two undefeated teams hit the field of Gillette Stadium to battle it out in Week 4 of the preseason schedule. But will they? Most of the star players won’t even see the field tonight, but we do expect Giants QB who has looked good in the exhibition games to get a couple of series in. Read on to get our handicapper’s thoughts on how you should bet this game.
The Pittsburgh Steelers shoot to complete a perfect preseason when they take on the Carolina Panthers for a Week 4 NFL exhibition bout Thursday night in Charlotte. These teams have met each of the last 16 preseasons, with the Steelers winning nine of those games. Pittsburgh also crunched Carolina during the regular season last year. But of course, most starters will be rested Thursday night. How are we playing this game with our free NFL pick?
The Cardinals are trying to pull away in the NL Central while the Brewers are trying to stay close, heading into the opener of this three-game series in Beer City Monday night. Zank researches the numbers and gives out his free play.
The Yankees and Dodgers play the rubber match tonight in LA with Domingo German getting the starting honors for the Yanks and Clayton Kershaw for the Dodgers. The MLB betting shows this game as high as LAD -175 at some betting shops with the total line a consensus 8.5 runs. Get Zank’s statistical analysis and free pick.
Both teams should be in the thick of their divisional races deep into the season, so we expect them to keep it simple tonight with lots of running plays. That said, when they do pass the ball the Titans have the better depth at the QB position with Mariota and Tannehill. Read on to see Zank’s research and against the spread selection.
The Seahawks travel to Carson, California to take on the Chargers at the Dignity Health Sports Park. Philip Rivers should see some action on Saturday and Pete Carroll usually has the starters play at the first half of the Week 3 game. The backups are decent on both clubs so does that suggest an OVER play? Our prognosticator weighs in on the game and gives out his betting prediction.
In the battle of Texas, we have the Houston Texans visiting the Dallas Cowboys. Jason Garrett has a large enough sample size for us to say that he doesn’t care about winning preseason games based on his 13-22. Bill O’Brien on the other hand does with a career 13-8 mark. Is that enough to back the visitor? Read our handicapper’s take on the game and get his free NFL pick.
The Bills have won their two preseason games and looked going doing so while the Lions have dropped both of theirs and haven’t. Stafford has yet to play and he would be a difference maker if he does get his first action, but HC Matt Patricia won’t say either way. Is that enough to take the Bills? Zank weighs it all out and gives out his prediction.
The Jags have yet to win straight up or cover a spread in their two preseason contests and find themselves in the underdog role this week on the road in Miami. The Dolphins have gotten the money in both of their matches and will look to keep their backers happy with a win and a cover on Thursday. Our capper is staying away from a spread play and instead has an O/U prediction.
Both coaches possess winning records in the preseason but the Seahawks on paper have much more depth at the QB position. That may be enough to take them plus the three points. Our handicapper has other ideas for where his money is going to land. Get his point spread pick>>>
