NFL Preseason Week #2

NFL Preseason Week #2 8/20: 401 Cincinnati (+7) (-112) No Palmer for the Bungles and the Pats looked good in their first go-around last week, hence the line moving in their direction. JT O'Sullivan played well last week and led Cincy on their scoring drive. 401/402 Cincy/NE Under 19' (-115) 1st Half Pats are going to focus heavily on the run game this week unlike last week. 403/404 Philadelphia/Indianapolis Under 36' 404 Indianapolis (+3) (+105) GL

3-1 last night and the 1 came down to a 2-pter with :26 left. Can't win em' all. Fri 8/21: 405/406 Tennessee/Dallas Under 39 406 Dallas (-3) (-115) Dallas's 1st unit will play a lot more tonight and Tennessee will go with Young and Ramsey for the bulk of the game to get a good look at the #2 vs. #3 QB battle. This is Tennessee's 3rd game in 12 days as well. 407/408 Kansas City/Minnesota Under 37' 409/410 Atlanta/St. Louis Over 36 410 St. Louis (+3) (-120) Bulger is out and Boller has looked not so good in preseason. Atlanta should bounce back off a loss at lowly Detroit, right? GL

I think Atlanta looks too easy. Spagnulo has the extra motivation to get a win in his first game at home.

From what I read on Tenn, Collins will play 2 or 3 more series then last week..then Young and Ramsey. Depending on the length, it could end up with the first teams facing each other the entire 1st half.

Once again lose a total by a point for the second straight night. 2-3 tonight with a small juice loss. My sincerest apologies to anyone who followed. Rams got INT'd in the end zone driving for the tie. Cowboys needing 2 yards for the 1st down to run out the clock bust one for a TD. Could have easily went 5-0, but went 2-3. That's preseason for you.

Thanks Twowiner. Frustrating night for sure. Saturday 8/22 413/414 Pittsburgh/Washington OVER 32 More often than not, teams who were shut out their previous game are actually good bets to the OVER in the next game. Big Ben is likely out for Pittsburgh. Batch will start. Since there is obviously no battle for the starting job here, I would expect the Steelers to go ahead and throw the ball a good deal here. Baltimore's inconsistent passing game threw for over 400 yds on the Skins last week. I would expect Washington's offense to produce a little more as well. 414 Washington (+1) NOTE, I played this on Fezz's release. Don't take Washington laying 3 or 3.5. In fact, I may come back with some Pittsburgh later today if it gets to 4 or 4.5. 415 Carolina (+3) (-115) Miami is struggling on offense all through camp and last week against Jax. Both teams off short weeks having played on Monday. 417/418 Detroit/Cleveland Under 39 Cleveland also got shut out last week. However, this is a diff situation. Cleveland has 3 QB's that could start (Ratliff is a possibility, Mangini didn't trade for him for nothing). 418 Cleveland (-3) (-120) Playing the Brownies off the shutout loss. Also played 1st half. 419/420 Buffalo/Green Bay Under 38 423/424 NY Giants/Chicago Under 36 424 Chicago (-2') NYG off a national TV win. Chicago in Cutler's debut. He may play the entire 1st half; whereas, the G-men will be quicker to go to the reserves. Also played 1st half. 425 Oakland (+3) (-120) This whole Cable thing gets blown out of proportion by the media. As you can see by the line movement, the sharps aren't buying it and neither am I. 427/428 San Diego/Arizona Over 39' Not exactly the sharpest # here, but I expect a much better offensive effort out of the Cards here. Arizona still is struggling to run the ball and I expect them to throw a lot more to give Leinart and St. Pierre a chance to show something. Arizona also is bringing a lot of blitzes in the preseason and are taking more chances which leaves the secondary on an island. 429 Denver (+3') Seattle got a good road win at SD last week and they look a little improved all the way around. Now they get a Denver team whose starting QB threw 3 INT's. Seattle looks too easy. Despite the TO's, Denver moved the ball pretty easily on SF last week. Moreno looked good and Peyton Hillis, their diamond in the rough last year, kept them in the game in the 2nd half. 429/430 Denver/Seattle Under 37' GL

Good luck today Shooter. I like Carolina and Oakland as well.

Shooter what does your week 3 ticket look like?
