Atlanta Falcons at Miami Dolphins odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Atlanta Falcons at Miami Dolphins preseason Week 2 matchup, with NFL odds, lines, picks, predictions and best bets.

The Atlanta Falcons (0-1) and Miami Dolphins (0-1) head into their second game of the NFL preseason off of a week of joint practices. The Dolphins will have the modest home-field advantage at Hard Rock Stadium for Saturday’s 7 p.m. ET kickoff. Below, we look at the Falcons vs. Dolphins odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Falcons suffered a 23-3 loss to the Tennessee Titans on their home field last week. Veteran backup QB AJ McCarron and rookie Feleipe Franks split snaps and went a combined 7-for-21 for just 21 net yards and no touchdowns through the air; however, Franks added 76 rushing yards on 4 carries.

The Dolphins took a 20-13 loss on the road against the Chicago Bears. Second-year QB Tua Tagovailoa was an efficient 8-for-11 for 99 yards with 1 interception, while backups Jacoby Brissett and Reid Sinnett were 6-for-10 on the day.

Falcons at Dolphins odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Dolphins 20, Falcons 13

Money line

The Falcons played few starters on either side of the ball last week and didn’t see much of promise from either McCarron or Franks in the backup quarterback battle. Rookie TE Kyle Pitts may get his first taste of game action this week, but QB Matt Ryan is unlikely to see much – if any – time.

Meanwhile, the Dolphins could keep giving reps to Tagovailoa to get the second-year signal-caller more meaningful practice with his new additions on offense. The competition for the Dolphins’ leading running back role is also likely to continue between Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed as both played well last week.

Still, we need to PASS on the steep money line price for the Dolphins. There’s a much better payout to be had with the spread.

Against the spread

Back the DOLPHINS -4.5 (-105) for a win by 5 or more points. The Falcons were blown out at home last week and new head coach Arthur Smith showed little desire to see his first-teamers as he focuses on depth position battles in his first preseason with the team.

Over/Under

Back the UNDER 37.5 (-125) with both these teams playing well below this total last week and the defenses having had a week of practice against at least some of the different offensive combinations they’ll see Saturday.

The Dolphins are bringing back an experienced defensive core from last season while the Falcons’ defensive players should be highly motivated while competing for multiple openings within the Week 1 roster.

Indianapolis Colts at Minnesota Vikings odds and lines: Vikes favored on home field

Assessing the NFL preseason odds and lines for Saturday’s matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and Minnesota Vikings.

The Indianapolis Colts (1-0) travel north to take on the Minnesota Vikings 0-1) Saturday in Week 2 of the NFL preseason. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET at U.S. Bank Stadium. Below, we look at the Colts at Vikings odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Colts are slight underdogs after defeating the Carolina Panthers in Week 1 of the preseason, with QB Carson Wentz (foot) still not able to play. RB Jonathan Taylor didn’t see time in Week 1 but “looks so good,” according to head coach Frank Reich. It’s unknown whether we’ll see Taylor in Week 2.

What will be more telling is if Vikings WR Justin Jefferson, RB Dalvin Cook, QB Kirk Cousins or WR Adam Thielen play. It’d be shocking to see Cook play given his injury history, but the other three could see their first action of the preseason Saturday.

The quartet didn’t make an impact in the team’s blowout Week 1 loss to the Denver Broncos. Rookie QB Kellen Mond was just 6-for-16 in his NFL debut.

Baltimore Ravens at Carolina Panthers odds and lines: Jackson, McCaffrey may see their first snaps

Looking at Saturday’s Baltimore Ravens at Carolina Panthers NFL preseason odds and lines with the Ravens listed as road favorites.

In the second preseason game for both teams, the Baltimore Ravens (1-0) travel to take on the Carolina Panthers (0-1) Saturday. The game is set to kick off at 7 p.m. ET and will be held at Bank of America Stadium. Below, we look at the Ravens at Panthers odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Neither team played its star player in the preseason opener. With two weeks of exhibition play remaining, there’s hope that some high-profile names may get their first appearance.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was set to play a series last week but was instead held out of the team’s preseason opener. RB J.K. Dobbins played a series but produced zero yards on three carries.

Little should be expected of both Baltimore stars in the team’s second preseason game, but it’d also be surprising if either were held out.

Fans may also get to see Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey for the first time. He was also held out last week but has been practicing at full strength. The Panthers lost their opening game 21-18 to the Indianapolis Colts.

New to NFL betting?

The Ravens are -180 favorites on the money line which means, if they win, you’ll get $100 for every $180 you place.

Those odds also signify the Ravens have a 64.29% win probability. They need to win by 4 or more points to cover the -3.5-point spread, which will give better odds at higher risk for those backing Baltimore.

On the other side of the ball, the Panthers are +145 on the money line which indicates a win probability of 40.82%. They’re the underdogs, so placing $100 would net $145 in profit or a total return of $245. For the Panthers to cover the spread, they’d need to win or lose by no more than 3 points.

For the Over 35.5 to hit, there would need to be at least 36 points scored by the two teams. For Under bettors to win, there would need to be 35 or fewer scored.

New York Jets at New York Giants odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s New York Jets at New York Giants preseason Week 1 matchup, with NFL odds, lines, picks, predictions and best bets.

The New York Giants and New York Jets clash Saturday at MetLife Stadium in the 2021 preseason opener for both teams. Kickoff will be at 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Jets at Giants odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Rooke Jets QB Zach Wilson will get his first taste of NFL action as he and the rest of the starters will play “about a quarter” Saturday, according to new head coach Robert Saleh. The Jets need to work in an abundance of new faces this preseason after going 2-14 in 2020.

The Giants are able to take a more conservative approach to the preseason. QB Daniel Jones won’t be playing Saturday and rookie WR Kadarius Toney is also not expected to see the field.
