Preseason NFL betting: Bengals, Jets, Vikings look like good plays

With apologies to Chico Escuela (the fictional shot subordinate played by Garrett Morris connected “Saturday Night Live” successful the precocious 1970s), preseason shot has been berry, berry bully to me! And hopefully our “dog oregon pass” disciples!

Overall, underdogs dominated Preseason Week 2 astatine 9-7 SU and 10-5-1 ATS (we outperformed wide dogs by being selective) portion roadworthy teams led 10-6 SU & 11-4-1 ATS and Over/Unders divided 8-8. So acold successful the preseason, dogs pb 18-13-1 SU and 22-9-1 ATS (71 percent) portion roadworthy teams are 19-12-1 SU and 20-11-1 ATS (64.5 percent), with Unders starring 20-13 (60.6 percent).

So, dogs (especially connected the road) and Unders person been the mode to bet. But we besides mentioned past week that large enactment moves were 0-8 ATS and fading the nationalist has besides been profitable. The enactment moves went 3-5-1 ATS successful Preseason Week 2 truthful I surely wasn’t successful a unreserved to station my takes this week.

Let’s get to it arsenic we effort to support gathering our bankroll for the existent games!

New York Giants -3 astatine New York Jets

I’m gladsome I kept backing John Harbaugh successful preseason games with his caller team, arsenic we went 2-0 SU & ATS, but present they’re favored. I thought the Jets would beryllium playable this preseason with their backup QB country of Cade Klubnik, Bailey Zappe and Brady Cook, but they were favored successful their archetypal 2 games. Now, we get a accidental to backmost them arsenic 3-point dogs successful this yearly New York-New York rivalry game.

Best Bet: Jets +3

Cincinnati astatine Philadelphia -2.5

This enactment has stayed beauteous coagulated contempt a clump of updates for some teams, arsenic they haven’t moved the needle. The Eagles are favored astatine home, possibly due to the fact that immoderate radical deliberation there’s inactive a conflict for the No. 2 QB spot betwixt Tanner McKee and Andy Dalton (or they’re showcasing them arsenic commercialized bait), but I’m consenting to slice them with a Bengals squad that is 2-0 contempt not playing starters overmuch (and they’re reportedly not playing this week astatine all). Josh Johnson (yes, the 40-year-old journeyman QB) and Sean Clifford combined to spell 25-for-38 for 282 yards and 3 TDs successful putting up 27 points connected the Bears.

Best Bet: Bengals +2.5 oregon better

Minnesota astatine Denver -6.5

There’s inactive a conflict for No. 2 QB successful Denver betwixt Sam Ehlinger and Jarrett Stidham, truthful this enactment has sneaked up from Broncos -5.5 to -6.5, precocious for a preseason game. I’m consenting to slice the determination arsenic the Vikings inactive person a QB battle. J.J. McCarthy not lone mislaid the starting occupation to Kyler Murray, but it’s looking similar he’s going to suffer the No. 2 spot to Carson Wentz arsenic well. McCarthy could beryllium playing for a occupation (in Minny oregon elsewhere), truthful I expect the Vikings to beryllium playing hard throughout, arsenic he’ll beryllium with backups besides playing for their jobs.

Best Bet: Vikings +6.5

Chicago astatine Tennessee -3

This enactment besides opened -1 and went to Titans -3.5 earlier settling backmost down astatine a tract goal. The Titans person been playing to triumph nether Robert Saleh and are 2-0, truthful it’s pugnacious to slice them here. However, if Tyson Bagent ends up playing, I’d beryllium funny successful the Bears arsenic dogs (but beware that if helium is activated that this enactment could beryllium gone quick).

Best Bet: Pass for now, but possibly Bears +3 if we tin inactive get it
