NFL Preseason Week 1: Friday’s betting guide and need-to-know updates

Betting trends, who’s in, who’s out and who won’t be playing more than a few snaps on Friday.

The NFL preseason is a bettor’s delight.

Spreads remain relatively short, starters often aren’t playing too many snaps—if any—and coaches aren’t going too deep into their playbooks. Typically, if you follow where things are headed in the lead up to the game, you should have a pretty good idea of how things are going to turn out.

That’s what we’re here to help you with as you get the weekend started.

With a five-game slate on tap Friday night, let’s dive into some notable injuries and playing-time questions as the Green Bay Packers, Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers, Cincinnati Bengals, New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles, Atlanta Falcons and Detroit Lions get ready to play some (meaningless) football.
