New Orleans Saints vs. Indianapolis Colts

Free #NFLX Play Indianapolis Colts -1

The Colts looked great for three quarters of football at home against the Giants last week, but after surrendering 27 unanswered points in the final period, Indianapolis is still winless in the pre-season. They host the undefeated New Orleans Saints in Week 3, and we should see plenty of Andrew Luck and Drew Brees as normally the starters see the most action in the third week of the exhibition season.

Brees hasn't seen any action in the Saints previous two games, so it could take him a while to shake off some rust. Luck has looked solid in his limited action so far for the Colts, so we can expect him to be sharp right off the get go.

This game will mean a lot more to the Colts than it will to the Saints, who struggled on the road at the best of times. New Orleans will be up against a revamped Colts defense that should be a lot better in 2014.

"It’s going to be a great barometer to see just how far we’ve come defensively," Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. "We’re off to a good start defensively when you look at the numbers from the first two ball games ... From an individual standpoint, position standpoint and then collectively as a unit, those guys are all excited to play an outstanding team, an outstanding offensive unit and see exactly where we’re at."
Take IND.

NFLX Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Buffalo Bills

1* Bonus Play Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills will host Tampa in Week 3 of the pre-season, and with the starters expected to see plenty of action, that should favor the home team. The Bucs are coming off losses to Miami and Jacksonville, and it doesn't get any easier in Buffalo.

Here are my keys to the game:

1: Quarterbacks - The Bucs simply don't have a lot of talent at the quarterback position, with all three options more suitable in the role of a backup. The trio combined to complete 15-of-30 attempts for 159 yards and two scores in the loss to Miami. The same could be said about Buffalo, but at least E.J. Manuel has a strong running game to fall back on.

2: Bill's Defense - Buffalo owned one of the NFL's best defenses in 2013, and so far this pre-season they've held opponents to an average of just 19 points per game.

3: X-Factor - The Bills have covered the spread in seven of their last nine home games, while Tampa is 1-4 ATS in their last five overall.

Selection: This is a play on the Buffalo Bills (Free)

Baltimore Orioles vs. Chicago Cubs

Free Pick on Chicago Cubs +

The Cubs are showing outstanding value at basically a pick'em at home against the Orioles. Chicago took the opener last night 4-1 behind a dominant performance from starter Jake Arrieta.

I look for Baltimore's offense to remain in a funk on Saturday, as they go up against one of the more underrated pitchers in the game right now in Kyle Hendricks. Since joining the rotation, Hendricks has gone a dominant 5-1 with 1.66 ERA and 0.966 WHIP over 7 starts. He's been even more impressive at home, where he's got a 0.44 ERA over 3 outings.

Baltimore will counter with Bud Norris, who despite strong numbers overall, has a not so impressive 4.35 ERA over 12 road starts. Norris has also really struggled in interleague games, where he has 5.87 ERA and 1.500 WHIP over 3 starts.

There's also a strong system in play on the Cubs. Teams with a money line of -100 to -150 who are scoring 3.8 runs or less per game against a team with a very good bullpen (ERA<=3.33), ice cold hitting team - batting .240 or worse over their last 20 games are 71-34 over the last 5 seasons. That's a 68% system in favor of the Cubs. Take Chicago!

NEWSLETTER European Soccer Prediction From Strike Point Sports

Take ‘Over’ 2.5 – Everton at Arsenal (12:30 p.m., Saturday, August 23)

Two of the English top flight’s top teams square off in the northwest of the country when Arsenal visit Everton. Both teams are attack-minded and know a lone goal is likely not to be enough to win this match. I see both sides getting on the score sheet and contributing at least a goal a piece in this encounter. Arsenal is coming off an early week trip to Istanbul from the Champions League qualifier, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them a little more off their top game because of that. Neither defense screams clean sheet, so look for a 2-1 or 2-2 finish between these two teams on Saturday.

NEWSLETTER NFL Preseason Prediction From Allen Eastman

Take #274 Kansas City (-3.5) over Minnesota (7:30 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 23)

This is Mike Zimmer’s first road game as head coach of the Vikings. Minnesota has had two good games at home to open the preseason. But now they are hitting the road. And things can get chaotic for a rookie coach and a young team. The Chiefs are at home and have an easy week with no travel. And Andy Reid is an old pro anyway. The Chiefs starters were outscored 14-6 by Carolina last week. But they outplayed them. Kansas City just couldn’t finish drives with TDs. Reid’s teams have gone 10-5 in his career in Week 3 in the preseason and they will want to get a win here after losing by 12 last week. I think this Chiefs defense will be able to shoot down Matt Cassel and frustrate Teddy Bridgewater. I expect a lot of Bridgewater. And like his rookie coach I think that his first game on the road can overwhelm him. I like the Chiefs to rebound and I like the Vikings to letdown after their come-from-behind win last week at home against Arizona. Take the home team here and collect with the Chiefs.
