What bettors need to know: Thursday's NFL preseason action

NFL betting got underway this past weekend with the Hall of Fame Game. Now, football bettors get their first night of preseason profits with six games on the go Thursday.

Here’s a quick look at each of those matchups and their odds and trends:

Washington Redskins at Buffalo Bills (+2.5, 35)

The Redskins debut rookie QB Robert Griffin III, who will get between 12 and 20 snaps in Week 1. Washington head coach Mike Shanahan is notorious for putting weight into these tune-up tilts and owns a career 42-32-2 ATS mark in the preseason, including a 5-2 ATS record in his first two preseasons with the Skins.

Buffalo head coach Chan Gailey says his starters will only get a few series Thursday, turning things over to backup QB Vince Young. Starter Ryan Fitzpatrick said the offense will be focused on improving the rushing game, which could eat up clock and favor the under 35 points.

New Orleans Saints at New England Patriots (-3, 38)

These teams held a joint practice this week, so expect both sides to have notes. Bill Belichick sat Tom Brady in Week 1 of the preseason last year and will limit his star QB Thursday. Not only does Belichick want a better look at backups Ryan Mallet and Brian Hoyer, but he’s working with scraps on the offensive line.

The Saints won the Hall of Fame Game and will likely give Drew Brees and the starters a longer leash in Week 1. Receiver Devery Henderson and RB Mark Ingram sat out the practice with the Pats but are expected to see more action Thursday.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Philadelphia Eagles (pick, 34)

Eagles head coach Andy Reid is expected to be on sidelines for Thursday's game following the funeral for his son this week. Philadelphia has dedicated this season to Garrett Reid and will likely come out strong for their coach Thursday.

Pittsburgh has been one of the better preseason bets under Mike Tomlin, posting a 16-5 SU and 13-8 ATS record in the exhibition schedule. The Steelers will give starts to two rookie offensive linemen Thursday, throwing David DeCastro and Mike Adams into the fire. Tomlin will play his starting units no more than two series.

Baltimore Ravens at Atlanta Falcons (-1.5, 34)

The Ravens are one of the best under bets in Week 1 of the preseason, posting a 3-12 over/under count in the exhibition opener since 1995. Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh will use his starters, namely QB Joe Flacco, sparingly and will not risk putting injured players into action.

The Falcons could give their starters a full quarter’s worth of work and more Thursday. Head coach Mike Smith hadn’t decided on a snap count or anything but told the media his starters could play into the second quarter versus the Ravens.

Green Bay Packers at San Diego Chargers (-1, 37.5)

The Packers will only let QB Aaron Rodgers roll out one series or less before turning the offense over to the backups. A big part of that decision is the uncertainty surrounding Herb Taylor at left tackle. Backups Graham Harrell and B.J. Coleman could be in for a long night if Taylor fails on the line.

The Chargers are one of the better over plays during Week 1 of the preseason, boasting an 11-5 over/under count in Week 1 since 1995. The Bolts won’t have backup QB Charlie Whitehurst for Thursday, leaving the bulk of the passing duties behind Philip Rivers to Kevin O'Connell and undrafted rookie Jarrett Lee.

Denver Broncos at Chicago Bears (-3, 34.5)

Denver happens to be one of the best Week 1 preseason plays in the NFL, with a stellar 11-4-1 ATS mark in their exhibition openers since 1995. Peyton Manning makes his debut in Broncos blue and orange, but will only get 10-12 plays Thursday.

The Bears have depth at QB and RB with Jason Campbell an upgrade under center and Michael Bush a threat behind Matt Forte. Chicago will not have veteran LB Brian Urlacher, who is dealing with personal issues.

Pittsburgh at Philadelphia

Highlighting NFL preseason Thursday night will be Pittsburgh Steelers taking on Philadelphia Eagles. Still smarting from their shocking OT loss to Tebow and the Broncos in the AFC Wild Card round the Steelers will be itching to rise to this year's challenges even during these practice sessions. Eagles failing to live up to their status as NFL's version of the 'Dream Team' in 2011 finishing at .500 also have something to prove. Plenty of reason to back Eagles, they're motivated to show last year's final 4-0 bust was not a fluke, they're playing at home in front of their fans against a state rival. However, the 'Black and Yellow' squad has shown these August games matter, as they're 16-5 (13-8 ATS) in five years of practice season with coach Mike Tomlin guiding troops. On the flip side, Andy Reid is one of those coaches who doesn't give a damn about winning in August, he'll be exerting his energies evaluating personnel to make sure all new pieces fit before the real games begin. Reid's troops 21-31 (22-28-2 ATS) since he took over reigns in Philadelphia open things up ridding a 3-6 (2-7 ATS) early and week-one skid. Betting on the NFL in August is a completely different exercise than betting on the same sport a month later.

PLAYBOOK
by Marc Lawrence

Pittsburgh over PHILADELPHIA by 6
While we expect bigger and better things from the Eagles this year, we’re not anxious to fly with them at any time during this preseason as you will soon see. For starters, Philly is just 5-17 SU and 4-17-1 ATS in exhibition openers since 1990, 5-13 ATS in their last 18 versus the AFC and 1-5 SU and ATS in these last six intrastate scrimmages. Couple that with Pitt’s 4-1 SU and ATS log in preseason lid-lifters under Mike Tomlin – and 13-2 SU and 11-4 ATS mark versus the NFC of late – and you can understand why we’re not about to show any love to Andy Reid and company tonight in Philadelphia. And speaking of Tomlin and Reid, this is a classic matchup of one coach who plays to win in the preseason (Tomlin: 16-5 SU, 13-8 ATS) against one who doesn’t give a cheese steak about the results (Reid: 21-31 SU, 22-28-2 ATS). Since we certainly have an intere$t, it should come as no surprise to find us squarely behind the visitor in tonight’s juicy Keystone State contest. Steelers, outright.

Thursday's streaking and slumping starting pitchers

Streaking

Madison Bumgarner, San Francisco Giants (12-6, 3.03 ERA)

The Giants lefty has helped keep the club afloat during Tim Lincecum’s sub-par season and while he’s recorded just one win in his last three starts, Bumgarner has been sublime in that span. He’s allowed just five earned runs in his last 19 innings and has totaled 25 strikeouts in that stretch.

Jordan Zimmermann, Washington Nationals (8-6, 2.45 ERA)

The Nationals are fighting for the top spot in the bigs, thanks in part to the efforts of Zimmermann. The right-hander is undefeated in his previous eight starts, going 5-0 and has not allowed more than one run in that span before surrendering four earned runs in a no-decision versus Miami in his most recent outings.

Slumping

Ubaldo Jimenez, Cleveland Indians (8-11, 5.29 ERA)

It’s incredible to see how far Jimenez has fallen. The righty is winless in his last five starts with a 0-4 record in that span. He was knocked around for six earned runs on seven hits over 5 1-3 innings versus the Tigers in his most recent appearance.

Chris Volstad, Chicago Cubs (0-8, 7.22 ERA)

Volstad hasn’t won a game in 21 starts and has swallowed five straight “L’s” spread out over the course of the season. The Cubs did like what they saw from the righty in his most recent defeat, throwing seven solid innings in which he allowed just two earned runs on six hits, including one home run

Mighty had no play Wednesday and likes the Rays Thursday.

Hondo

Hondo, fresh off a Tuesday sweep with the Rangers and Giants, came right back yesterday with the Rangers, who slapped around Slosh Beckett to lower the debt to 1,970 skowrons.

Today, Mr. Aitch will board the locals’ bandwagon with investments on Kuroda and Dickey -- 10 units apiece on the Yankees and Bill Maher’s Mets.
