MIAMI -3 over Tampa Bay: Google News Play Both teams are breaking in new coaches and both team have new schemes on both sides of the ball to learn, but i feel that depth at the QB spot clearly goes to the Dolphins. Tampa Bay has a clear cut starter for opening week and that's Josh Freeman. He won't be in there long and behind him is Dan Orlovsky and Brett Ratliff. Not very good QB's, even against 2nd and 3rd team defenses. On the other side of the field we have a Miami team that will be having one of the most heated QB battles in the league. Matt Moore had a solid 12 game performance last year and he was believed to be the front runner, but FA David Garrad may have passed him in camp.Also squarely in the mix is rookie Ryan Tannehill, Miami's first-round selection in April's draft who played under new offensive coordinator Mike Sherman as a collegian at Texas A&M. The talented youngster impressed by going 8-for-10 for 77 yards in Saturday's team scrimmage, and could make one of the two veterans expendable if he proves ready for at least a backup role. Miami has 3 QB's that will be giving 110% in this one and that should prove to be the difference here, especially looking at who the Bucs will sent to the field once Freman is out of there. Miami by a TD here.
Cleveland +3 over DETROIT: The Cleveland Brown are an improved team, but during the course of the regular season they may not get a ton of wins so you can bet they will try for some in the preseason. Detroit on the other hand will have a solid year this year and would like nothing more than to come out of this game and the preseason healthy, so I expect very limited time from their starters. Cleveland has two very young, but talented QB's in Weedon and McCoy that are really looking to display their talents and they should get plenty of chances (Especially McCoy) vs Detroit's 2nd and 3rd team defenses. Last year the Browns were 28th in rushing, but they got a huge upgrade when they signed Trent Richardson and he will be taking on a Detroit team that was 23 vs the nun and 30th vs rush per attempt. Despite their upgrades last year the Tigers were still below average on defense ranking in the bottom 3rd in all major categories, si I expect them to have a hard time stopping Cleveland and have a hard time scoring much with their 2nd and third team offenses in this one as well. Lets also note that Detroit is just 4-9-3 in their last 16 games in opening week of preseason. Cleveland should win this one outright.

David Banks
New York Jets vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Tim Tebow will make his much-anticipated preseason debut with the New York
Jets on Friday night when they take on the Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown
Stadium in Cincinnati. OH at 7:30 ET, and you can catch the action live
nationally on NFL Network. Rex Ryan is just 6-6 straight up (7-5 ATS) in his
three preseasons as head coach of the Jets, but after all the morale issues in
the clubhouse last year and with a quarterback controversy now looming, he
may want to install a winning attitude from the get-go. Meanwhile, Marvin
Lewis is only 18-19 straight up (18-18-1 ATS) as Bengals' coach since 2003.
Tebow is not even the starting quarterback right now, as Mark Sanchez still
has that honor and could play as long as one quarter with the starting unit
in the opener. However, Tebow is slated to play the second quarter and most
of the third according to Ryan, albeit with the second team. That last fact
makes it hard to compare apples to apples when comparing the performances
of the two signal callers, and it is also a clear indication that Ryan really
does consider Sanchez to be the starter, at least for now. Elsewhere, it
will be interesting to see who earns the back-up running back spot behind
Shonn Greene as the Jets do not have much depth at that position, with special
teamer Joe McKnight currently listed second on the depth chart. New York may
also get a longer early look than expected at their second round draft pick,
wide receiver Stephen Hill out of Georgia Tech, as their number one
wide-out Santonio Holmes suffered a rib injury in practice and is out for this
game.
The most intriguing matchup during the first quarter of this game will be
Bengals' wide receiver A.J, Green, who is developing into one of the premier
receivers in the NFL, going up against perhaps the league's best shutdown
cornerback in Darrelle Revis. From a personnel standpoint though, Cincinnati
coaches will have their eyes on the opposite side where Jordan Shipley will
be seeing his first game action since tearing his ACL in Week 2 of last
season. The reports out of training camp are that he has not been crisp coming
out of his breaks, and if that is the case he may be pushed by Armon Binns
and/or Brandon Tate for the starting spot, which would result in Green seeing
loads of double-coverages. Friday will also mark the Cincinnati debut of "The
Law Firm" BenJarvus Green-Ellis at running back, and frankly we are not
high on him as an every down back despite his 24 touchdowns the last two years
with the Patriots. Bernard Scott and Brian Leonard are holdovers from last
season that will compete for the back-up spot, so just like the Jets, the
Bengals also look thin at the running back position.
Coach Lewis has been at his worse in Week 1 during his Bengals' tenure,
going only 3-7 straight up in preseason openers. That is still three more
opening wins than Ryan has though, as he is 0-3 in preseason Week 1 as coach of
the Jets.
