📊 Eagles vs. Jets odds

• Date: Friday, Aug. 22
• Kickoff: 7:30 p.m. ET
• Location: MetLife Stadium (Rutherford, N.J.)
• How to watch: FuboTV

🔮 Eagles vs. Jets prediction: Jets -1.5

✅ Best pick: Jets -1.5 (-110 via bet365)

---

Here's a sneak peek at why Mike Spector is backing the Jets to win and cover the spread: 

"Philadelphia has to be concerned with the health of its offensive line after guard Landon Dickerson suffered a meniscus injury. Dickerson is one of five guards to make the Pro Bowl every year since 2022, and the Eagles already lost Mekhi Becton in free agency while Kenyon Green nurses a shoulder injury.

With its offensive line currently in shambles, Philadelphia is not going to risk injuries to Jalen Hurts or Saquon Barkley. And with it needing healthy bodies for the season opener in just two weeks, I do not expect it to play much of anyone who has a chance to fill in for its current injured starters."

📊 Falcons vs. Cowboys odds

• Date: Friday, Aug. 22
• Kickoff: 8 p.m. ET
• Location: AT&T Stadium (Arlington, Texas)
• How to watch: NFL Network

🔮 Falcons vs. Cowboys prediction: Cowboys -2.5

✅ Best pick: Cowboys -2.5 (-110 via BetMGM)

---

Here's a sneak peek at why Phil Wood is backing the Cowboys to cover the spread: 

"The Cowboys' backup quarterback battle means their offense will be playing hard for all four quarters. And while the unit hasn’t been great this preseason, the Falcons haven’t been thriving offensively or defensively.

They have yet to score more than 20 points in a game. And with their offense set for Week 1, I expect the Falcons to try out different personnel to see who deserves a spot on the 53-man roster."

📊 Vikings vs. Titans odds

• Date: Friday, Aug. 22
• Kickoff: 8 p.m. ET
• Location: Nissan Stadium (Nashville, Tenn.)
• How to watch: CBS (Paramount+)

🔮 Vikings vs. Titans prediction: Titans -2.5

✅ Best pick: Titans -2.5 (-110 via DraftKings)

---

Here's a sneak peek at why Isaiah Sirois is backing the Titans to cover the spread: 

"Home-field advantage doesn’t move the needle often during the NFL preseason, but when a team’s first overall rookie quarterback is making his debut in front of a home crowd, it surely means something. That’s the situation Cam Ward will find himself in on Friday."

👉 Check out his full analysis in our Vikings vs. Titans prediction.

📊 Bears vs. Chiefs odds

• Date: Friday, Aug. 22
• Kickoff: 8:20 p.m. ET
• Location: GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium (Kansas City, Mo.)
• How to watch: FOX

🔮 Bears vs. Chiefs prediction: Bears +2.5

✅ Best pick: Bears +2.5 (-118 via FanDuel)

---

Here's a sneak peek at why Mike Spector is backing the Bears to cover the spread: 

"Chicago dismantled the Buffalo Bills 38-0 in the biggest win of any team this preseason. We are buying the Bears heading into this matchup behind first-year head coach Ben Johnson, as this game clearly means more to him than veteran Chiefs head coach Andy Reid."

👉 Check out his full analysis in our Bears vs. Chiefs prediction.

📊 Ravens vs. Commanders odds

• Date: Saturday, Aug. 23
• Kickoff: 12 p.m. ET
• Location: Northwest Stadium (Landover, Md.)
• How to watch: NFL Network

🔮 Ravens vs. Commanders prediction: Commanders +2.5

✅ Best pick: Commanders +2.5 (-105 via BetMGM)

Here's a sneak peek at why Mike Spector is backing the Commanders to cover the spread: 

"The fact that this line has not budged off its opening number of +2.5 suggests oddsmakers are comfortable needing to root for the underdogs.

If Baltimore treats this game in any way like it did the third week of the preseason last year, losing 30-7 to the Green Bay Packers while not playing any starters, there is a way for a Washington team desperate to find any momentum before its first regular-season game to cover."

📊 Broncos vs. Saints odds

• Date: Saturday, Aug. 23
• Kickoff: 1 p.m. ET
• Location: Caesars Superdome (New Orleans)
• How to watch: NFL+

🔮 Broncos vs. Saints prediction: Broncos -3.5

✅ Best pick: Broncos -3.5 (-105 via FanDuel)

Here's a sneak peek at why Philip Wood is backing the Broncos to win and cover the spread: 

"The Broncos’ preseason dominance is greatly impacting my Broncos vs. Saints prediction. The defense has been stellar, allowing just 16 points in two games, as both starters and backups have dominated the opposition. 

This week, they get to take on an inexperienced group led by New Orleans' Spencer Rattler."

👉 Check out his full analysis in our Broncos vs. Saints prediction.

📊 Rams vs. Browns odds

• Date: Saturday, Aug. 23
• Kickoff: 1 p.m. ET
• Location: Huntington Bank Field (Cleveland)
• How to watch: NFL Network

🔮 Rams vs. Browns prediction: Rams +8.5

✅ Best pick: Rams +8.5 (-105 via Caesars)

Here's a sneak peek at why Matt Jacob is backing the Rams to cover the spread: 

"Several other Rams starters are expected to see limited action at most, while Cleveland’s first-string units will play 20-25 snaps, per head coach Kevin Stefanski.

That being said, Los Angeles has covered the point spread in five consecutive preseason games - winning four of those contests outright."

👉 Check out his full analysis in our Rams vs. Browns prediction.

📊 Colts vs. Bengals odds

• Date: Saturday, Aug. 23
• Kickoff: 1 p.m. ET
• Location: Paycor Stadium (Cincinnati)
• How to watch: NFL+

📊 Texans vs. Lions odds

• Date: Saturday, Aug. 23
• Kickoff: 1 p.m. ET
• Location: Ford Field (Detroit)
• How to watch: ABC

🔮 Texans vs. Lions prediction: Lions first-half spread -1.5

✅ Best pick: Lions first-half spread -1.5 (+106 via FanDuel)

Here's a sneak peek at why Mike Spector believes the Lions will lead at halftime:

"The Texans' defense was dominant against the Carolina Panthers last week, particularly when it was starters versus starters. Houston allowed zero first downs, zero completions, and outgained Carolina 68-2 through Bryce Young’s two series. 

But that also means Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans knows his starting unit is ready for the regular season and will likely defer to backups on both sides of the ball right out of the gate."

📊 Seahawks vs. Packers odds

• Date: Saturday, Aug. 23
• Kickoff: 4 p.m. ET
• Location: Lambeau Field (Green Bay, Wis.)
• How to watch: ABC

📊 Jaguars vs. Dolphins odds

• Date: Saturday, Aug. 23
• Kickoff: 7 p.m. ET
• Location: Hard Rock Stadium (Miami)
• How to watch: NFL Network

🔮 Jaguars vs. Dolphins prediction: Dolphins -6

✅ Best pick: Dolphins -6 (-110 via BetMGM)

Here's a sneak peek at why Matt Jacob believes the Dolphins will win and cover the spread:

"No doubt, this is a hefty point spread for a preseason game. But if there’s one thing we know about the Miami Dolphins it’s that when they win preseason games, they tend to win them convincingly."

👉 Check out his full analysis in our Jaguars vs. Dolphins prediction.

📊 Bills vs. Buccaneers odds

• Date: Saturday, Aug. 23
• Kickoff: 7 p.m. ET
• Location: Raymond James Stadium (Tampa, Fla.)
• How to watch: FOX

🔮 Bills vs. Buccaneers prediction: Dolphins -6

✅ Best pick: Buccaneers +2.5 (-105 via DraftKings)

Here's a sneak peek at why Phil Wood believes the Dolphins will win and cover the spread:

"The Buccaneers aren’t playing their starters, but that's been the case at a lot of key positions this preseason, and they’re still 2-0. The offense is averaging 23 points per game, while the defense has given up just 21 total."

👉 Check out his full analysis in our Bills vs. Buccaneers prediction.

📊 Chargers vs. 49ers odds

• Date: Saturday, Aug. 23
• Kickoff: 8:30 p.m. ET
• Location: Levi's Stadium (Santa Clara, Calif.)
• How to watch: NFL+

📊 Raiders vs. Cardinals odds

• Date: Saturday, Aug. 23
• Kickoff: 10 p.m. ET
• Location: State Farm Stadium (Glendale, Ariz.)
• How to watch: NFL Network

🔮 Raiders vs. Cardinals prediction: Cardinals +2.5

✅ Best pick: Cardinals +2.5 (-112 via DraftKings)

Here's a sneak peek at why Matt Jacob believes the Cardinals will cover the spread:

"This pick isn’t about a strong belief in Arizona’s backups - who will be on the field for 60 minutes in this contest - as much as it’s a lack of faith in Las Vegas’ ability to win a preseason game. Because it hasn’t happened in more than two calendar years."
