Saturday’s Week 2 NFL Preseason Trifecta
Share:
After checking out the NFL odds board, I noticed that the line with this match had tumbled from Patriots -3 to where it now stands, in this Friday morning writing, to Patriots -1. Most of us know how crucial the amount is in football and anytime the number goes off of itI get questionable, particularly in preseason playwith. The Pats ruined the Lions 31-3 last week into their preseason opener and it wouldn’t surprise me a bit to watch Belichick tinker with the game plan to observe how his troops play under specific circumstances. There’s nothing that the coaching legend loves over a hybrid, a player who is called on to execute several jobs and assume unique roles. This sport smacks of this ideal time for New England to start experimenting which means financing a team like the Titans within our NFL selections is the intelligent move here. Catch the number with Tennessee in your home.
Final rating: Titans 24 — Patriots 21

Betting preseason soccer is obviously a bit of a roll of the dice however there are a few trends we can sniff out that can give us a lean one way or the other. Perhaps chief among these are the training records which may indicate how important a head trainer views losses and wins in the exhibition period. Look no further than Detroit’s Matt Patricia who possesses a 1-4 preseason record versus Texans’ head coach Bill O’Brien who seems to place great import on Week 2 of the preseason background with a 4-1 mark in these contests. Additionally, Detroit might have to rely upon former San Jose State, also sixth-round choose of the 2014 draft, David Fales and newly signed journeyman Josh Johnson to lead the assault with No. 1 copy Tom Savage in the sidelines courtesy of a possible concussion suffered in last week’s loss to New England. This does not bode well for Detroit and thus we will place our dough around the Texans.
Final rating: Texans 27 — Lions 17
Dallas (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS) vs. LA Rams (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS)
Game Time: 10:00 PM ET, Saturday

The two of these clubs failed to get the endzone last week as Dallas dropped 17-9 to the 49ers while the Rams dropped 14-3 into the Raiders. But once more, something smells a little fishy in this one as the Rams started as three-point house favorites but now the Cowboys are ranging from 2 to two 1/2 point street chalk. The big names on either side won’t see much if any actions in this meaningless preseason tilt but that I would not be surprised to see the Cowboys emerging victorious, or covering the number in what’s shaping up for a close contest. The Rams are 1-5 ATS in their last six Saturday games and the Cowboys are seeking to put emphasis in their running attack today that it seems like Ezekiel Elliot is intent on withdrawing on a Le’Veon Bell this season and sit until he gets what he wants. This resembles a ground-and-pound matchup and since Dallas should be aware of what they have in the backfield, expect them to use their key backs over the Rams. Todd Gurley won’t observe the area and that is great news to the Boys.
Rating: Cowboys 17 — Rams 14
