🔮 Eagles vs. Jets prediction: Jets -1.5
Here's a sneak peak of 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."

- Location: AT&T Stadium (Arlington, Texas)

🔮 Falcons vs. Cowboys prediction: Cowboys -2.5
Here's a sneak peek of 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 prediction: Titans -2.5
Here's a sneak peek of 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."

🔮 Bears vs. Chiefs prediction: Bears +2.5
Here's a sneak peek of 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."
