Taking DALLAS. I like Seattle this year. And Seattle, for me, much better HC. But there is zero chance I lay a TD in preseason with this group. Dallas replacing their OC so I can't see them not playing some starters here and again next week. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

4* Money Maker LA RAMS

4* Money Maker SAN FRANCISCO 49ers

Taking the CARDINALS. Is Mahomes playing the entire game? Look I know Arizona will be terrible this year. I think these guys are bad. But I will take this number in the preseason. Bad teams have guys playing for contracts and other teams looking at them. KC is playing a Super Bowl run and bigger future plans. Regular season we would be on KC team totals and the like. Here, I am looking at a 2nd half back door cover. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA CARDINALS

Going UNDER here, I really love this spot here. I am not a lover of the SF QBs. I don't care if we get 3rd or 4th stting defense from them - it's the Raiders. I think this team wins, maybe 4 or 5 games this year. I think the roster is trash. If this game gets to close to 40 mark I will be shocked. I will be shocked if 1 team gets to 20 points. 4* Total Money UNDER Niners/ Raiders 

4* Money Maker BALTIMORE RAVENS 

Taking the BROWNS. For me, I like to take the teams that play that early HOF Game. They have game speed under their belt. We do back a team off a win. I think their coach is on the hot seat a bit, so I don't think he will play passive here this week. With Washington, we get a team that is a total mess. Owner change. Coach most likely on way out. QB battle. New team name? Who knows. Now - can the players rally a bit. Sure. But I think their coach is a big problem and that will lead to a Cleveland victory tonight 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND BROWNS 

4* Money Maker DETROIT LIONS

Going UNDER the total. I see this most of the time in Game 1 pre-season matchups - Folks, we aren't see Rodgers and Watson tonight. This is a 3rd/4th string walk through. Should be pretty ugly. Now, if you want to look to Week 1 and think the Jets and Browns are worth a shot, then I am all for it. Hall of Fame Game tonight, let's grab the under. I would be surprised if a team gets to 21 themselves. 4* Total Money UNDER Jets/ Browns

Taking the GIANTS. Now. You know that I am a Cowboys fan. And to come in here and back the Giants as Best Bet. Yeah. Painful! And against The Hoodie. The Hoodie who is pretty darn good in pre-season over his career (50-35 ATS) I'm tossing that out though. Giants turn to Mike Kafka! Mike Kafka from Northwestern who tossed for a cool 500+ Yards in an Outback loss! He had been with KC as the QB Coach + passing coordinator. Bringing this New York team to the modern passing world. I think we see some offense tonight from the GMen. And, I think we some defense. HC Daboll said he expects everyone to play. That is good to hear. But honestly, do I expect to see starters for a quarter. Not really. I am happy to see Tyrod Taylor get a decent shot at 2nd and 3rd stringers though. And Davis Webb will be chucking when he comes in also. We  have a new HC/ OC/ DC so they want to see what they got on the roster. Giants looking for a fresh start and some wins. 1 winning season the last 8. 4-6-4 wins the last 3 years. They are in no position to take a pre-season game lightly. 5* Best Bet NEW YORK GIANTS 

Going UNDER the total in the Hall of Fame Game. Preseason NFL, and especially this stand alone game is a recipe for an Under. We have 2 new Head Coaches. One has playoff hopes. The other is just looking for wins. Both need to get familiar with their players and work their new playbook. We won't see any major guys tonight. Carr won' be throwing to 3 TDs to Adams. Just a quick look back to 2014 with these games (2 cancelled) - Total Points Scored - 30-17-38-33-24-19. Back to the coaches again - Pederson is a Super Bowl winning HC. He isn't coming here looking to put up 34 points. He is looking to have best 52 man roster to get this team a winning season. I will have the Jaguars up as a pick in the Mid Day Money Show if you are interested in a side though. The Raiders are a team looking, again, to get the best players on the 52. They aren't looking to get anyone banged up the first week of August. 4* Total Money UNDER Vegas/ Jags

Taking the FALCONS. This is a fade Cleveland. Nothing to prove. They have bigger fish to fry. Atlanta needs some wins with a new HC and get some traction heading to the regular season. I grabbed this earlier at +7, not shocked the line came down. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS 

4* Money Maker JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS 

4* Total Money OVER Tampa/ Texans 

Going OVER. When I see a low line like this, I am auto play on the Over. I understand that the Unders are on a big run. But this game can get here by accident. We know the Ravens just win, win and win more in pre-season. They do it putting up 20 something ppg. Washington needs to show some offense as their defense is a solid unit. 4* Total Money OVER Ravens/ Washington 

Taking the JETS. One team seems a little pumped up for the season, the other not so much. I thought Philly would be bad this year. But it is coming sooner than later with this poor preseason. Jets new HC is looking to change the culture of losing. You don't do that by dropping your final home game in the preseason. 4* Money Maker NY JETS

Going UNDER. Minny has been bad on both sides of the ball. Don't expect that to change here at KC. Not sure what Andy Reid will be doing with his starters. The guy is worried about he Super Bowl and getting there healthy. Under all the way for me. 4* Total Money UNDER Minny/ Chiefs

Taking the JAGUARS. Had Jax in their opener. Will come back here in Game. Like I said then. New HC. New QB. Wins Wins and Wins. That is what a new regime wants to do out of the gate. Preseason or not. Saints - well. They do have a veteran HC with a veteran QB in Winston. That being said, I think that New Orleans is in for a long year this season. Give me the upstarts looking to change their losing culture. Again, will probably move a little ML on this game like we did with the Lions and Giants. We'll see how it plays out. 4* Money Maker JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS 

Taking the GIANTS. For me, what do the Browns have to play for here. Maybe they go a half or so. Giants coach is nuts. He will try for the win here. He needs his QB to get on the same page as his new new toys. Yes, Barkley is new after being out. Plus the new batch of WRs in town. Give this crew its reps. Cleveland? They are focused on the Chiefs for Week 1. Might sprinkle some ML on NYG here. Looking for their first win, Browns with a W under their belts already.  4* Money Maker NEW YORK GIANTS

Taking TENNESSEE. We have the coach saying 'many starters' not playing for Tampa. Will take any points with the dog here. 4* Money Maker TENNESSEE TITANS 

Taking the LIONS. Detroit new regime looking for a win. Steelers, already with 2 games under their belt won't be looking to do anything fancy here. Veteran coach looking at big picture. For me, crazy HC of Detroit needs a win after he blew the last one. Give me the points here. Might look to sprinkle money line on the desperate coach also. Something tells me this guy doesn't last 2 years. 4* Money Maker DETROIT LIONS 

 4* Money Maker NEW YORK JETS

Taking WASHINGTON. Should have grabbed the Redskins out of the gate. This line will only climb. Ron Rivera will be looking for a W. And Cincy, though they did beat Tampa, I am not even sure how that happened. Allen and Shurmur tossed 2 INTs no TD 19-29 for 185 yards. Fumble Fumble INT on their first 3 possessions vs Tampa. They get a roughing the passer on a sack and a Defensive Pass Interference to get them inside the 10 for their only touchdown. Back to back INTs out of the half get them 6 points. Come on. This team is going to get trucked tonight. Washington with a pair of missed FGs and an INT that was later converted into a touchdown. Coach won't have any of that sloppy mess here in Game 2. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON REDSKINS 

4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 

4* Money Maker LAS VEGAS RAIDERS 

Taking the NINERS. It is San Fran all day for me here. Forget about, oh, revenge for Super Bowl loss. Ok. You want to go down that road in Game 1 of a teams NFL Pre-Season. For me. It is the QBs. And SF is bringing a party. Who knows if and how long Jimmy G plays. Everyone is loving Lance and saying he is so far ahead of schedule. And smart picking up the playbook so quickly. Wonderful. People need stories to write in July and August. But we also get Josh Rosen who was a top pick and has been kicked to the side. Guy never had a real shot so far to start his career. Starts 13 games as a rookie for Arizona. Then shipped to Miami. Give the guy some stability. Clearly motivated and looking to prove himself. Then we add in Nate Sudfeld. A guy who has kicked around for 4 games played in the last 3 years. He is looking to latch on somewhere.  Andy Reid and KC with nothing to prove here. San Fran looking to wipe a bad 2020 out of their memory. Starts here. 5* Best Bet SAN FRANCISCO 49ers

Taking the COWBOYS. We faded the Boys and took the Under last week for a nice 2-0 night. Here, it all about those Cowboys. How 'bout those Cowboys! What a miserable game. 4 fumbles for Dallas, 2 lost, 2 missed FGs. That kind of stuff happens out of the gate to a lot of teams. Dallas looking to fix some mistakes. They have that game edge under their belt. Their HC is off a terrible season. They need any kind of win. They will take it here in Pre Season Game #2. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS 

4* Total Money UNDER Bills / Lions

4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS 

Taking the STEELERS. So we had Pitt and the Under over Dallas in the HOF Game. We come right back on Pittsburgh tonight. Simple - We have a game under our belts. That is game speed. That is getting the kinks out, as much as you can. That is a full session more than Philly here. With the pre-season being shortened, the HOF offers an extra game and believe me, the Steelers will take full advantage. We can get that +105 ML. But worse case happens and we go for 2 and lose by a point, we still get a push. I think Pitt wins outright anyway. 4* Money Maker PITTSBURGH STEELERS 

Taking the STEELERS here. Tomlin with some work to do. 11-0 start, horrific finish. No  Big Ben or Dak. Probably no Dallas playmakers either. So we get Cooper Rush, Ben DiNucci and Garrett Gilbert at QB for Dallas. Doesn't impress me. Give me the Steelers with Mason Rudolph, Josh Dobbs and Dwyane Haskins. Does anyone have more to prove than Haskins? Also. Pitt announced a week ago their starters on the OL for this game. All young guys. The line was a problem last year and is a rebuild. I look for the extra time working together ahead of the game to pay off here. Short line - Remember. Don't fall for the 3 and 3.5 here. Preseason. Nobody wants OT. There will plenty of going for 2s. I couldn't find a ML on Pitt as I do this write up on Monday. Also lean Under here. It was 34 when I mentioned on the podcast the other day. I see some 33.5 and 33 now. 4* Money Maker PITTSBURGH STEELERS 

4* Total Money UNDER Falcons/ Jaguars

Taking the BRONCOS. Been back and forth on both of these teams. Caught a miracle Hall of Fame win with Denver. Faded them in a Seattle win. Won fading Rams vs Raiders - lost vs Dallas. Well, maybe you pushed if you got +4, but I was out of luck on that number. What is crystal clear is that some coaches mail it in. It isn't even a question. Maybe we see a little of the Rams starters. But this line tells me a series tops. What would this line be in Week 4 of the regular season? Not a pick that's for sure. Give me the Broncos who are out with something to prove under new regime. 4* Money Maker DENVER BRONCOS 

Going UNDER. We know McVay doesn't care one bit about preseason. Won't be shocked to see Rams score 13 or less. Broncos with new HC and QB will look to be on the same page with a solid defense to help the cause. All you need to do is look at this line .If this was regular season, would this be a pick? Rams mail it in. 4* Total Money UNDER Broncos /Rams

Going UNDER the total. Just like our GB total, I just don't see a lot of starters getting action. I know it is the 'walk through' game. But both of these coaches have flat out said their starters aren't playing. 4* Total Money UNDER Colts/ Bears 

Taking the TEXANS. If we know anything about Dallas, it's they barely show up in pre-season. Are we to believe we are getting a lot of Dak today? And even if we are, no Zeke. No Amari Cooper. I can't see him being out there a long time. I'll take my chances with a half of Cooper Rush then Mike White. I'll take a steady diet of Joe Webb here. Texans will be extra motivated to pick off in-state big brother even if it just pre-season. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON TEXANS 

Taking the COLTS. Coming out firing here on Saturday. Both coaches say they won't be suiting up many starters. That is fine. We will also be on UNDER. Colts  more urgent team in this spot. 4* Money Maker COLTS + UNDER

Going UNDER here. Not expecting much from Dallas. No Zeke. No Amari. Doubt we see Dak for a half. If you are giving me a half of Mike White, sign me up. Boys have scored 23 points total so far. Can't see them getting to that total on their own today. 4* Total Money UNDER

4* Total Money UNDER Packers/ Raiders

4* Total Money UNDER Panthers/ Patriots 

Taking the BENGALS. Now. I don't expect much from either team during the regular season. But this Cincy team has a little more to prove. They are home, new HC, laying a short number. Finley and Driskel are for all intention purposes still battling for the 2 spot. Andy Daulton will see a little action. I think the edge lies with the home team. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI BENGALS 

Taking the RAMS. We know how bad Dallas is in pre-season. We faded them last week. In fact, these are two teams we faded in Week 1. But it is a new week. And, this may be painful to hear and type, but this is a Blake Bortles bet. He was uneven to say the least. Bad probably in his game vs Raiders. For me - he is carrying a huge chip on his shoulder. Look. Maybe he is crap and he can't handle the pressure. But something tells me he puts it together vs the Cowboys today. Again, Rams a team that just needs to go through the motions. But having a capable back-up QB is a spot they should be fine tuning. Brandon Allen is a practice squad QB, but with a year under his belt in this system. Always a plus. 4* Money Maker LA RAMS  ---- Wish I waited 10 minutes when the lines came out... RAMS now +2.5 .... 

Taking COLTS here in pre-season action. One. We saw the Browns roll a bad Washington team in Week 1. The Bills beat these Colts. I will gladly back the team down 0-1. Luck still not close to seeing the field. Brissett didn't get much going on offense with the 1st unit - but, he was missing 2 linemen, TY Hilton and Eric Ebron. That being said, this offense needs to start doing something. With these guys holding some joint practices this week, I really don't expect to see many fireworks. But I do expect Indy to get things going a bit more offensively. We will also be on the UNDER in this game. 4* Money Maker COLTS + UNDER 

As I said in our write up taking the COLTS. We will be on the UNDER tonight. Joint practices a couple times this week. Not expecting many fireworks from either team. 4* Total Money UNDER Browns/ Colts 

Taking ARIZONA. So we did cash nicely with the Raiders last week. But we are on the Cardinals here. New HC and a rookie QB with an experienced QB behind. Smells like a recipe for a win to me. We know that Kingsbury wants to air it out. And he will be running this offense all pre-season. Murray was solid in his one drive. He will play more this week. Hundley came in and did what I expect from a veteran backup, 10-14 with a TD. If we get a half from both of these guys, forget. It's a beat down. Gruden known to go all out in Week 1 and that resulted in just a 14-3 win. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA CARDINALS 

Taking the JETS here. Look. We all know about Quinn's pre-season record. So what. One. And I had Denver in the Hall of Fame Game. That was an Atlanta win that was literally, jiggled right out of their hands late. And they were there vs Miami. Fact is though, I don't think Quinn cares. The players don't care. They have bigger goals than worrying about Pre-Season. They need to stay healthy and battle the Saints for the NFC South. Jets - Oh Jets. Had you as a Free Play over the Giants and you let me down. 5-0 with our Premium Picks and you fall on your faces as a Freebie. I expect a big game today though. We again have a new HC and DC looking to instill new values on the players. I think we see a bit more Darnold. Trevor Siemian is a veteran looking to prove himself. Luke Falk is battling for a spot. And hopefully we don't see Davis Webb cause he was miserable last week. 4* Money Maker NY JETS 

Taking SAN FRANCISCO. One - I do like Dallas. Am a Cowboys fan. But I am not blinded by any loyalty. Especially to this coach. Guy does not care about pre-season at all. Might also like the Over a bit here. Cooper Rush will play mostly for Dallas. But I really like this SF rotation. Maybe we see a series of Jimmy G. But I really like seeing Nick Mullins and CJ Beathard. Wilton Speight is interesting out of UCLA. I just think Niners with a bit more to prove here than the 'Boys. 5* Best Bet SF 49ers 

Taking the RAIDERS. Gotta love Gruden talking up Nate Peterman! Look. Him and Glennon both with something to prove. Oakland will be short on wins during the regular season as they look to their move to Vegas. Rams just want to get through the pre-season healthy with getting back to the Super Bowl their only goal. One team clearly going through the motions this August. The other, looking to keep everyone focused and fighting. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND RAIDERS 

Taking SEATTLE. So we did cash our Best Bet on the Broncos in the Hall of Fame Game. But, let's be honest - we got some nice breaks for that to come through. Didn't really see much to think Denver is a play on getting a bucket. So we will back Seattle on the ML here. If I am going to get Paxton and Geno Smith playing all 4 quarters today over Hogan, Lock and Rypien - sign me up. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 

Taking the RAVENS. So, I do like the Jags when the regular season rolls around, but in this spot, give me Baltimore. I think we get a little more Lamar Jackson than most teams play their #1 guy. Simple fact is that he still has a way to go to be polished NFL QB. But against pre-season defenses, he should put up a score here. Then we will get some RG III. Again, a pro against bad defenses. Then a rookie. You will also hear about Harbaugh's pre-season record - an added bonus. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE RAVENS 

Taking the BRONCOS and going ML on this game. You could go and lay the -2.5, but we are going ML since it is preseason and we aren't laying a huge number. What we do have is a new HC coming in to town. For me, I am always on new HC's, especially in their first games. They want to win. The guy they replaced didn't win enough, so even in August, a W is a W. Here's a little secret for you. I like the Falcons. Have NFC South Champion future on them. But we won't be getting a full game of Matt Ryan to Julio Jones. These guys were hit with some injuries last year. They aren't taking chances in early August. Broncos with everything to prove under a new HC and his new play-calling. 5* Best Bet DENVER BRONCOS 

Taking the CARDINALS. Fading the Cowboys. Can't stand the HC. This guy is a miserable human who has cost bettors thousands of dollars over the years. Time for us to collect a little payback. Cowboys are set heading to the regular season. Arizona has a new coaching staff. They drafted their future QB, Josh Rosen. Sam Bradford is getting paid 15 Million right now. So, maybe he doesn't care much since he is getting him money. But the guy probably wants to prove he can stay on the field. I see him as their Opening Day starter. If they collapse, then I see the big rookie coming in, week 4, after a bye - along those lines. That being said, sorta liking the under a bit here also. But in any case, we are going - 5* Best Bet ARIZONA CARDINALS 

Taking MIAMI here on Saturday as my Top MONEY BOMB 10* play. So.. we did lose with the Colts on Monday night. Had them ML and it cost us. But now we will fade the Ravens heavy in another road game. This is their 4th pre-season game. Time to rest up the troops. They had their 'game' last week. I look for Miami to leave the starting units in a bit at home. Maybe we get lucky with a nasty, Miami hot and humid day that will really make the Ravens mail it in for us. 10* Money Bomb MIAMI DOLPHINS 

4* Money Maker TENN TITANS

Going UNDER here. Not really sure why this is so high. Andy Reid never cared about pre-season. We have new HC facing old team he was OC for. So safe to say the old team knows what he will call on offense with his young QB. And the HC will tell his DC what the opposing team will likely be deploying. Add to it that I think the Bears will struggle in a new system. Can't see this going over. 4* Total Money UNDER Chiefs / Bears

Taking TAMPA. This offense is putting up points this pre-season. 56 of them. Double the 27 that the Lions have produced. They seem to be wanting to work on defense. But I don't think you just turn on 30ppg in August. I'm telling you now I am down on Tampa at +9 and it is now +7. Don't count this out. 4* Money Maker TB BUCCANEERS 

Taking the JETS. Regular season, Pre-Season. tis the season. Don't matter to me. I am not high on this New York Football Giants team. On the flip side - I think there is a lot to be excited if you are Jets fan. They have a nice little QB problem that will not only help them win tonight. But could net them a pretty 2nd rounder if another team loses their starting QB in the next 2 weeks. 4* Money Maker NY JETS

Taking the BROWNS. So Wentz is back taking reps with the first team. Foles is giving the green light after a little shoulder injury last week. I think we see a lot of Sudfeld tonight. And not that is a bad thing for Philly catching points. All Nate did was toss for over 300 yards and 3 TDs vs the Patriots. But this is the Browns. The lowly Browns. The Cleveland Browns who even pre-season wins are something to get excited about. And make no mistake, this is an improved team. Their opening line vs Pitt has dropped and their odds on winning the division have increased. Tough laying with the record of the Browns HC. But I'll holding my nose. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND BROWNS 

5* Best Bet --- INDY COLTS

in Vegas now signing up for the Super Contest.. Follow me on Twitter if you want to meet up. 

Taking the CHARGERS. Faded Seattle last week. I think this team is an Under Win Total this season. Already locked in on that last month for plus money. So I don't expect in the pre-season. Give me some Geno Smith vs the back ups. I think he tosses at least 2 TDs if he gets the entire second half. Cardale Jones wasn't impressive at all. Maybe he gets the 2nd half as the Chargers look for a back-up to Phillip Rivers. My money is on Geno. I know that he never would get the chance to replace Eli with the Giants after his time with the Jets. But I think that was some learning experience. Maybe he has grown up. Enough of my Geno rant. Chargers tonight. 4* Money Maker LA CHARGERS 

Taking the RAIDERS. Another spot I almost went ML. Think the Raiders with their new HC are the play this pre-season. But what really intrigues me and why I like them is that I think EJ Manual is the real wild card. He is a guy that is looking to make something happen. He doesn't want to be a 3rd stringer. He is, like Teddy Bridgewater, a guy who was a starter. Connor Cook had better numbers last week, so I think we will see some friendly fire from both and that overcome whatever offense tosses together. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND RAIDERS

Taking the DOLPHINS. Thinking about ML in this spot. I think Miami has a lot to prove. We had them last week and it didn't work out. I will go back again tonight for the same reasons. All the QBs for Miami need to do something. That is a huge factor for me in pre-season. And by them competing against each other, that should generate points for us. I am not high on the Panthers for the season. But that really doesn't matter here. It comes down to back up QB play. And I think getting points, the hungrier group lays on the road side of the field. 4* Money Maker MIAMI DOLPHINS 

Taking the CHIEFS. Faded the Falcons last week, and will do it again tonight. When I do pre-season, I look at who has things to prove. Atlanta has nothing to prove. KC is handing over their QB position to Mahomes. Well Henne and McGloin are looking to prove they are NFL backups. While Litton is an undrafted rookie. Whoever is behind center will be looking to make the coaches remember their play. Falcons are looking to escape camp with no injuries. Doubt they keep a 3rd string QB. But Schaub is 37, so maybe if one really impresses this August, something could happen. But that really doesn't weigh much on my selection tonight. We are on KC. 4* Money Maker KC CHIEFS 

Taking the JETS, again. Rolled with these guys last week. Will do it again. I see anywhere from +1 up to +3, but with some heavy (-130, -135) juice. If you can get a ML, I would take what you can get. Obviously think these guys win outright. Just not any MLs posted on the site yet. So we again will look to the NY QBs to be an advantage tonight. Everyone with something to prove. If Darnold is getting the nod with the 1st string, I can't see him playing for 2 series and sitting out. Kid is a rookie and needs reps. Plus, we have Teddy B. He is looking to prove he is healthy and can still contribute. Plus, McCown. Last year's starter. I really can't see a downside of any of those 3 guys playing the entire 2nd half of Game 2 Pre-Season. Redskins after Alex Smith will counter with Colt McCoy and Kevin Hogan. I think the Jets have the edge. 4* Money Maker NY JETS 

4* Total Money UNDER

Taking the BRONCOS. Know. I guess you can say that ex-Bronco Trevor Siemian wants to take it to his old club - I can see that angle. But I can also see that after Case Keenum, Paxton Lynch is going to want to prove to Denver that they made the right choice by keeping him. Vikes are a team that has high hopes this regular season. Denver off a bad year, had a coach with something to prove. Have to take the home team in this spot. 4* Money Maker DENVER BRONCOS 

Taking the JETS. Will lay this number. Look. Falcons ready for regular season. They have their minds set on the NFC South and taking out the Saints. They are not looking to prove anything here in Pre-Season. New York looking for a fresh start. They drafted their QB of the future in Darnold. They also have Teddy Bridgewater who wants to show he can still play in this league. And, old vet Josh McCown. 4* Money Maker NY JETS 

Taking the COLTS. Now, I will be fading Indy Week 1 regular season. But here, I will be on them as a live ML play. Just having Luck back with a helmet on will be a huge motivation for this team. They bring in a new coach. A clean slate for all. I think Seattle is down. I already moved on them Under 7.5 +125 weeks ago. I know they win in pre-season. But I just think this team is trending backwards. Brissett was not terrible. I think people forget how the Colts were in games and led games before falling apart late. Give me the dogs tonight. 4* Money Maker INDIANAPOLIS COLTS 

Taking the RAVENS. Had Baltimore last week. All in on them today. A second game for them while the Rams ease into the pre-season. Rams are thinking big this season. Can't see them really getting up for a game in early August. 5* Best Bet BALTIMORE RAVENS 

Taking the BROWNS. As much as I am not high on the Giants, this Browns team cannot go any lower. Pre-season, off-season, tis-the-season. These guys just need wins. Now or never for Hue Jackson. 0-16 last year. But we saw them go 4-0 in August. They beat the Giants last pre-season and lost the regular season rematch. Everyone is so down on Cleveland that I will be backing them probably through Regular Season Week 2. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND BROWNS 

Taking MIAMI. I think regular season, TB might be a play some weeks for me. And here in pre-season, I think losses are easily explainable. Miami though for me, is hungry. They have some QB intrigue. Tannehill working his healthy after last year. Brock in town. The guy who is looking to redeem himself from an anchor contract he signed. Bryce Petty looking to make a mark. I think the up arrow is heavily on Miami tonight. 4* Money Maker MIAMI DOLPHINS 

Taking the BILLS here. Ready to move on these guys pretty big. We have Sean McDermott, new HC in Buffalo, old DC for Carolina. So we know that the Panthers already would be vanilla. This brings them to flat out spoiled vanilla. I am down on Carolina for the regular season. But that being said, new coach, new QB in the wings for the Bills. They have AJ McCarron who is looking to make a name for himself after being back-up in Cincy. 10* Money-Bomb BUFFALO BILLS
