$200 Take ‘Under’ 35.0 New York Giants at Chicago (8 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 22)
The Giants just played on Monday night so I don't expect a top effort out of this team. They are 14-20 against the total over the last several years in the preseason and are a solid 'under' bet. The Bears just gave up 27 points to the Bills last weekend so I'm sure that the defensive coaches and players have addressed that issue. The Giants want to run the ball a lot and that's going to keep the clock moving and help this play. Also, the Bears just don't have enough weapons in the passing game and I think the Giants defensive line is going to smother them. This line is dropping from its open and I think there is a good reason for that. I see 'under'.
$400 Take #430 Seattle (-3) over Denver (10:30 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 22)
Seattle is coming off a nice road win over San Diego and I think they keep the momentum going. New coach Jim Mora is trying to make his mark on this team and I think he really wants to impress his home fans. Denver lost on the road last week and now is on the road again. All week Denver has had distractions and things have not been going well in their camp. They have a brewing quarterback controversy. And Brandon Marshall has been nothing but negative since he has come back. He has been very vocal of his displeasure and I think that it is a huge distraction for this team having their best player sitting on the sideline and complaining in the media. I like the Seahawks to take care of business and get a blowout win for us.
Both won so record now is 5-5 -$25.00
Preseason is about watching each team and seeing what they are doing...
about to return with a few key spots on the way from upnorth...bomb fire lasted until 3 am this morning so I need the coffee before I start back...next 3 days will be looking at tape on this week game and trying some more picks next week
be good
