Green Bay Packers at Buffalo Bills odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Green Bay Packers at Buffalo Bills preseason Week 3 matchup, with NFL odds, lines, picks, predictions and best bets.

The Green Bay Packers (0-2) meet the Buffalo Bills (2-0) Saturday for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Below, we look at the Packers vs. Bills odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Packers have struggled in the preseason falling to the Houston Texans by a 26-7 score Aug. 14, and 23-14 against the New York Jets Saturday. Green Bay posted just 143 passing yards and 135 rushing yards against the Jets.

The Bills rolled up 41 points in Chicago against the Bears last Saturday, the most points scored by any team so far this preseason. They also picked up a 16-15 win Aug. 13, on the road against the Detroit Lions.

Packers at Bills odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Bills 24, Packers 13

Money line

The Bills (-370) will cost you nearly four times your potential return, and that’s not a good bet in the preseason, or otherwise.

AVOID and play the spread instead.

Against the spread

The BILLS -8.5 (-108) are likely to use QB Josh Allen very little, but backup QB Mitchell Trubisky shows how much depth Buffalo has at the position. Allen didn’t even play in the team’s 41-15 blowout win last weekend. Whether or not Allen plays, take the Bills.

QB Aaron Rodgers isn’t likely to play for the Packers, and if he does, it will be a cameo. QB Jordan Love (shoulder) is out with a shoulder, so the Pack doesn’t have a ton of depth at the position at the moment.

Over/Under

OVER 34.5 (-112) is worth a look, as the Bills offense has been on point with or without Allen. The Packers have struggled to put up points, as Rodgers has sat and Love has been injured, but the reserves could strike late to push this one over the top.

Minnesota Vikings at Kansas City Chiefs odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s Minnesota Vikings at Kansas City Chiefs preseason Week 3 matchup, with NFL odds, lines, picks, predictions and best bets.

The Minnesota Vikings (0-2) meet the Kansas City Chiefs (2-0) Friday for an 8 p.m. ET kickoff at Arrowhead Stadium. Below, we look at the Vikings vs. Chiefs odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Vikings were on the short end of a 12-10 score against the Indianapolis Colts Saturday. The Vikings have been outscored 45-16 through two preseason losses and non-covers. The good news is that the defense was much better in the second game than the opening loss.

The Chiefs are aiming for a third win and a perfect preseason. They posted a 17-10 win at the Arizona Cardinals Aug. 20, and they won at the San Francisco 49ers Aug. 14. Kansas City has covered both games while hitting the Under in each.

Vikings at Chiefs odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Chiefs 20, Vikings 17

Money line

The Chiefs (-200) will cost you two times your potential return in this preseason finale. However, after QB Patrick Mahomes dropped back to pass 20 times in Arizona and RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire suffered an ankle injury, don’t be surprised if K.C. plays it safe and rests plenty of key personnel.

AVOID and play the spread instead.

Against the spread

The VIKINGS +3.5 (-110) are worth a roll of the dice. Yes, they have been brutal on offense, but they might leave their starters in a little longer in this preseason finale, trying to kick-start things. Conversely, the Chiefs are likely to play it safe, so Minnesota is the play with the 3 and a hook. I expect the latter to come in handy.

Over/Under

UNDER 38.5 (-108) would be a criminally low number during normal circumstances. However, the Chiefs starters are likely to see little action, and the Vikings offense has been brutal and showing no signs of life to date. Therefore, the Under is the play.

Philadelphia Eagles at New York Jets odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s Philadelphia Eagles at New York Jets preseason Week 3 matchup, with NFL odds, lines, picks, predictions and best bets.

The Philadelphia Eagles (0-2) meet the New York Jets (2-0) Friday for a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff at MetLife Stadium. Below, we look at the Eagles vs. Jets odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Philly was annihilated 35-0 by the visiting New England Patriots last time out. The Eagles have dropped each of their two preseason games despite being favored in each. They have been outscored 59-16 in the two outings.

The Jets registered a 23-14 road victory against the Green Bay Packers Saturday, winning and covering for the second time in as many road preseason games. They have outscored the opposition 35-21 in the two games.

Eagles at Jets odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Jets 23, Eagles 16

Money line

The Jets (-200) are looking to cap off an undefeated preseason, and rookie QB Zach Wilson has no turnovers, no sacks, no pre-snap penalties and no three-and-outs so far in two appearances. While that’s promising, the two opponents (New York Giants and Packers) haven’t started any top-notch defensive linemen.

As such, the Jets being rather moderate favorites remain risky, especially costing two times your potential return.

AVOID and play the spread instead.

Against the spread

The JETS -3.5 (-107) are worth a look laying the points. It isn’t so much that they have been impressive. They have been, but it’s more a bet against the Eagles +3.5 (-115). Philadelphia was pounded 35-0 last time out and the offense has really struggled.

Over/Under

OVER 33.5 (-115) is the play in this all-important third game for both sides. We should see Wilson play an extended period, and the Philadelphia starting offense will get extra opportunities to get on track and put up some points. Look for both offenses to find plenty of open spaces.

Jacksonville Jaguars at New Orleans Saints odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing the Jacksonville Jaguars at New Orleans Saints preseason Week 2 matchup, with NFL odds, lines, picks, predictions and best bets.

The Jacksonville Jaguars (0-1) meet the New Orleans Saints (0-1) Monday for an 8 p.m. ET kickoff at Caesars Superdome. Below, we look at the Jaguars vs. Saints odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Jaguars were defeated soundly by the visiting Cleveland Browns 23-13 in the preseason opener. Jacksonville was blanked across the first three quarters before finally scoring with its reserves in the fourth. Rookie QB Trevor Lawrence made his debut and was 6-for-9 passing with 71 yards and no touchdowns or interceptions.

The Saints were bounced 17-14 in Baltimore by the Ravens, despite holding a 14-6 lead late in the second quarter of their preseason opener. QB Jameis Winston tossed 1 touchdown and RB Tony Jones Jr. ran in the other.

Jaguars at Saints odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Saints 22, Jaguars 16

Money line

The Saints (-200) will cost you two times your potential return if you bet them to win straight up and that’s just too much unnecessary risk for a preseason game.

AVOID, and play the spread instead.

Against the spread

The SAINTS -3.5 (-110) are a much better play laying the points, although I’m never a big fan of three and a hook.

New Orleans looked like a very functional offense against a good Baltimore defense last week in the first half. Winston, QB Taysom Hill and company will look to take another step forward in the post-Drew Brees era. These preseason games matter to the Saints who are looking to build momentum into the regular season.

Over/Under

UNDER 39.5 (-110) is the way to go here as this number is quite high for the preseason. In the first weekend of exhibition games, the Under cashed in 13 of 16 outings.

The Under outpaced the Over 9-5-1 through Saturday’s Week 2 action. Keep slamming the Under until further notice, although this one could be a close shave.

San Francisco 49ers at Los Angeles Chargers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing the San Francisco 49ers at Los Angeles Chargers preseason Week 2 matchup, with NFL odds, lines, picks, predictions and best bets.

The San Francisco 49ers (0-1) meet the Los Angeles Chargers (1-0) Sunday for a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff at SoFi Stadium. Below, we look at the 49ers vs. Chargers odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The 49ers hung with the Kansas City Chiefs in the first half last week, trailing 7-6 after 15 minutes and leading 9-7 at half. A late surge by the reserves of Kansas City led the Chiefs to a 19-16 win. Rookie QB Trey Lance threw for 128 yards and a touchdown in his debut.

The Chargers picked up a 13-6 win over the neighboring Rams in a sloppy affair at SoFi. The Bolts didn’t score a touchdown until midway through the third quarter when the starters were already showered and dressed.

49ers at Chargers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

49ers 17, Chargers 13

Money line

The 49ers (-250) are heavy favorites despite their loss last weekend. The thinking here is that they have two top-flight quarterbacks in Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo and the offense should more balanced deeper into the game.

Still, AVOID, and play the spread instead.

Against the spread

The CHARGERS +4.5 (-105) are worth a look as I expect at least a backdoor cover here. L.A. exhibited some suffocating defense last weekend, although the Rams sure helped by playing sloppy football.

Lance will try to ball out when he has his number called, and that should make Chargers bettors nervous. However, in the end, look for L.A. to grab the cover in the fourth quarter once the reserves kick in.

Over/Under

UNDER 34.5 (-115) is the play here as long as Garoppolo and Lance don’t light it up too much when they get their chance; the Chiefs were able to move the ball on the 49ers last week so that is a concern too.

New York Giants at Cleveland Browns odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing the New York Giants and Cleveland Browns preseason Week 2 matchup, with NFL odds, lines, picks, predictions and best bets.

The New York Giants (0-1) meet the Cleveland Browns (1-0) Sunday for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff at FirstEnergy Stadium. Below, we look at the Giants vs. Browns odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Giants were upended by the rival New York Jets in their preseason opener 12-7 in a defensive battle. Big Blue was only able to manage 58 passing yards and 105 rushing yards and their only score came from QB Clayton Thorson late in the fourth quarter.

The Browns went down to Jacksonville and topped the Jaguars 23-13, holding a 13-0 advantage at halftime and 16-0 lead through three quarters. The reserves gave up most of the production to Jacksonville after the game was already decided.

Giants at Browns odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Browns 22, Giants 16

Money line

The Browns (-220) will cost you more than two times your potential return and that’s too risky in a preseason affair.

AVOID, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

The BROWNS -4.5 (-110) top units on the depth chart looked good on the road against the Jags last weekend while the G-Men were rather sluggish against the Jets. Expect to see a little more of the first unit for Cleveland, which is a good thing for bettors. Back the home side.

Over/Under

OVER 35.5 (-105) is the slight lean here although the Over was a risky play in Week 1 of the preseason. Defenses reigned supreme with the Under going 13-3.

However, the Browns were one of the more functional offenses, both at the top and bottom of the depth chart, last week. This won’t be a track meet but we should see a total in the higher 30s.

The Las Vegas Raiders (1-0) meet the Los Angeles Rams (0-1) Saturday for a 10 p.m. ET kickoff at SoFi Stadium. Below, we look at the Raiders vs. Rams odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Raiders rolled to a 20-7 win at Allegiant Stadium against the Seahawks in front of an enthusiastic crowd to open their preseason. They outscored the visitors 13-0 in the first half and they ended up with 2 rushing touchdowns.

The Rams opened their preseason with a 13-6 loss against their SoFi roommates, the Los Angeles Chargers. The Rams managed just 73 rushing and 124 passing yards in the loss.

Raiders at Rams odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Rams 19, Raiders 13

Money line

The RAMS (+230) are a tremendous value on their home field, giving bettors a chance to more than double up their wager. QB Marcus Mariota might be well enough to appear for the visitors but there is no value betting the road side in a meaningless game.

Against the spread

The RAMS +6.5 (-115) are catching nearly a touchdown at home. Yes, the Raiders were impressive last week in front of their home fans while the Rams struggled in front of theirs, but you can expect a much better effort from head coach Sean McVay’s group after a sloppy effort in Week 1.

Over/Under

UNDER 34.5 (-110) is the lean in this exhibition battle in SoCal. The Under connected in 13 of the 16 preseason affairs last weekend and there is no reason to believe the offenses will be much more prolific in Week 2.

Baltimore Ravens at Carolina Panthers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing the Baltimore Ravens at Carolina Panthers Preseason Week 2 matchup, with NFL odds, lines, picks, predictions and best bets.

The Baltimore Ravens (1-0) play the Carolina Panthers (0-1) Saturday at Bank of America Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Ravens vs. Panthers odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Ravens opened their preseason with a solid 17-14 win and cover against the visiting New Orleans Saints in Week 1. QB Tyler Huntley scored on a 7-yard touchdown run with 6:35 left in regulation and they converted a two-point conversion for the cover.

The Panthers were dumped 21-18 on the road against the Indianapolis Colts in their preseason opener. Indianapolis capped an 11-point fourth quarter by hitting the game-winning field goal with seven seconds remaining.

Ravens at Panthers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Panthers 19, Ravens 15

Money line

The PANTHERS (+155) are worth a look at home. Head coach John Harbaugh hasn’t committed to using QB Lamar Jackson in this one while the Panthers are expected to see the debut of QB Sam Darnold. That would be a huge advantage.

Baltimore has won 18 consecutive preseason games dating back to Sept. 3, 2015, but that streak is in jeopardy against the likes of Darnold and QB P.J. Walker, both of whom should be able to move the ball nicely.

Against the spread

If you’re not feeling the home side straight up then PANTHERS +3.5 (-115) is quite attractive.

The Panthers played well on the road in Indianapolis and only lost due to their reverses being outplayed in the final quarter. They’ll play the starters longer in this one and head coach Matt Rhule will expect much better results in front of the home fans.

Over/Under

UNDER 35.5 (-110) is the way to go. The Under cashed in 13 of the 16 preseason games in the opening weekend of exhibition play, so keep going in that direction until further notice.

Kansas City Chiefs at Arizona Cardinals odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing the Kansas City Chiefs at Arizona Cardinals preseason Week 2 matchup, with NFL odds, lines, picks, predictions and best bets.

The Kansas City Chiefs (1-0) visit the Arizona Cardinals (1-0) Friday for an 8 p.m. ET kickoff at State Farm Stadium. Below, we look at the Chiefs vs. Cardinals odds and lines and make our best NFL picks, predictions, and bets.

The Chiefs will play their starters for about a half Friday, according to head coach Andy Reid, as QB Patrick Mahomes looks to get even more comfortable with his retooled offensive line after logging about a quarter’s worth of action against the San Francisco 49ers last week.

Arizona is expected to give QB Kyler Murray his first game action of the preseason after the star quarterback sat out the opener. The Cardinals upgraded the offense during the offseason with the additions of RB James Conner and WR A.J. Green.

Chiefs at Cardinals odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Chiefs 21, Cardinals 20

Money line

Bet on the CHIEFS (-190) Reid will have his offense on the field for the entire first half.

Mahomes should thrive behind OT Orlando Brown and G Joe Thuney during the regular season and Friday night offers the first glimpse of the retooled Kansas City offensive front.

Against the spread

PASS on the Chiefs -3.5 (-105), as Reid is only 39-39-4 ATS in the preseason.

Kansas City’s high-powered offense should get the Chiefs out to an early lead before giving way to the reserves and roster bubble guys for the second half. Arizona could make things close in the end.

Over/Under

Bet on the OVER 40.5 (-115) as both teams are capable of putting points on the board in a hurry.

For Kansas City, WR Tyreek Hill, TE Travis Kelce, RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire and the retooled offensive line will all see extended time against an Arizona defense that will be without DE J.J. Watt.

Cincinnati Bengals at Washington Football Team odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing the Cincinnati Bengals at Washington Football Team preseason Week 2 matchup, with NFL odds, lines, picks, predictions and best bets.

The Cincinnati Bengals (1-0) visit the nation’s capital to take on the Washington Football Team (0-1) Friday in Week 2 of NFL preseason action. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET at FedExField. Below, we look at the Bengals vs. Washington odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Bengals star QB Joe Burrow will not play Friday, but he is set to travel with the team. His absence will give QB Brandon Allen, who was underwhelming against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, the start for Cincinnati.

Expect at least some of rookie WR Ja’Marr Chase and standout RB Joe Mixon. The Bengals beat the Bucs in their first preseason game, while Washington lost to the New England Patriots last week.

Washington QB Ryan Fitzpatrick should play at least one series, but he also wasn’t overly impressive in his short time against New England. Washington managed just 13 points last week.

Bengals at Washington odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Bengals 17, Washington 13

Money line

“LEAN” to the BENGALS (+180) as they should have the more better threats offensively. With a trio of talented receivers, the Bengals will be allotting snaps to many high-profile players.

While Washington will have arguably the best receiver on the field in WR Terry McLaurin, it’s unknown how much he’ll play, and regardless, he may not get many drives with Fitzpatrick.

Washington’s offense struggled in the first week with its star-studded defense not playing many series. Expect a similar story which would be beneficial for Cincinnati.

PLAY: Try our new, free daily Pick’em Challenge and win. Play now!

Against the spread

BET on the BENGALS +3.5 (-105) as the best bet in this entire game. The Bengals easily covered their Week 1 spread against the Super Bowl-winning Bucs.

On top of that, Washington’s backups on defense looked awful against New England, struggling to do anything against the ultra-accurate QB Mac Jones. WFT failed to cover the spread against the Pats.

Over/Under

BET on the UNDER 34.5 (-105) as the Bengals shouldn’t have their starters in past the first quarter and are already down Burrow. Neither team hit 20 points in their first action of the year.

Expect another low-scoring game.
