Thursday's NFL Week 1 preseason betting primer

The NFL Preseason kicks into high gear with six games opening Week 1 of the exhibition schedule Thursday night. Here's a look at betting notes for Thursday's NFL preseason action:

Indianapolis Colts at New York Jets (-3, 37)

* Colts coach Chuck Pagano doesn't yet know how much Andrew Luck and the first-team offense will play Thursday, and may not come to a final decision until the game is already underway. What is known, however, is that wide receiver Reggie Wayne, still recovering from last season's torn knee ligament, will not be on the field.

* Safety Calvin Pryor, the Jets' first-round pick last spring, practiced with the third-team and scout defense this week but will sit out the team's preseason opener after suffering a concussion in late July. Geno Smith will get the start at quarterback over Michael Vick, despite struggling throughout training camp, but it isn't clear how long the first-team offense will play.

New England Patriots at Washington Redskins (-1, 37.5)

* Patriots quarterbacks Ryan Mallett and Jimmy Garoppolo split the majority of reps during Wednesday's practice, a good sign both will see plenty of action in the preseason opener with Tom Brady siitting out Thursday. One guy who likely won't be in action is starting defensive tackle Sealver Siliga, who left practice after suffering a left hand injury and returned to the sidelines in a black cast.

* The Redskins suffered a scare Wednesday when wide receiver DeSean Jackson rolled his ankle after having his foot stepped on. He left the field right away and had a trainer apply ice. Despite the injury, head coach Jay Gruden expects Jackson to play Thursday night. Washington was a perfect 4-0 in the 2013 preseason, then proceeded to win just three games during the regular season.

San Francisco 49ers at Baltimore Ravens (-1, 35)

* San Francisco appears to be in midseason form already, and that's not necessarily a good thing. Veteran nose tackle Glenn Dorsey suffered a torn left biceps during practice last week and may be lost for the entire 2014 season, while cornerback Chris Culliver was removed from practice for rough play, just two days after wide receiver Anquan Boldin was sent off for starting a fight.

* Expect to see a different offensive approach from the Ravens than the one they have employed for most of the century, beginning with the preseason opener. New offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak says he believes Baltimore can become one of the league's best teams when it comes to screen passes. The Ravens have thrown just 123 screen passes since 2001 - fourth-fewest in the league over that span.

Cincinnati Bengals at Kansas City Chiefs (-2, 36.5)

* It could be a dicey opener for newly signed Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton, who is only expected to play one or two series and will be missing several projected starters on the offensive line against Kansas City. Rookie Russell Bodine will make his debut at center for Cincinnati, while Will Svitek and Marshall Newhouse will start in place of Andrew Whitworth and Andre Smith.

* The Chiefs have laid out their quarterback plan for the game. Alex Smith will start the opening quarter, Chase Daniel will open the second, Tyler Bray will kick off the second half and fifth-round pick Aaron Murray gets the call for the final quarter. Kansas City will be without safety Sanders Commings indefinitely after the 2013 fifth-round pick suffered a fractured fibula and ankle earlier in training camp.

Seattle Seahawks at Denver Broncos (+1.5, 37)

* Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll anticipates his starters will play most of the first quarter, and he's eager to get at least three of his four quarterbacks into the game. B.J. Daniels tweaked his groin earlier this week and may rest as a precaution. Rookie wide receiver Kevin Norwood is out after having surgery to remove a bone spur in his foot, but could be back before the start of the season.

* Peyton Manning will take the field in the preseason opener against the team that denied him a second Super Bowl ring last February. But he and the rest of the Denver starters won't play more than the first quarter, according to head coach John Fox. Manning may not have Emmanuel Sanders to throw to, as the veteran wide receiver is considered questionable with a strained quad.

Dallas Cowboys at San Diego Chargers (-3, 36.5)

* The Cowboys' suspect defense is already in disarray, with defensive end Demarcus Lawrence expected to miss 8-10 weeks with a broken foot and cornerback Morris Claiborne sitting out the preseason opener for the third straight year with a knee injury. Quarterback Tony Romo isn't going to play, leaving the bulk of the work to backups Brandon Weeden, Caleb Hanie and Dustin Vaughan.

* The Chargers are dealing with a litany of injuries themselves. Rookie guard Chris Watt, slated to start the exhibition opener, suffered an undisclosed injury Tuesday and is questionable for Thursday, while cornerbacks Brandon Flowers (leg) and Marcus Cromartie (groin) ran on the side earlier this week but won't suit up against Dallas.

Complimentary MLB Pick for August 7th, 2014

Game: New York Mets @ Washington Nationals
Time: Thursday 08/07 12:35 PM Eastern
Pick: Washington -152 (moneyline) at BetOnline

The Washington Nationals have opened up a four game lead in the NL East, and they will take on the New York Mets in afternoon action. The Mets will go with Jacob deGrom, who will be looking to win for the sixth straight time, although he will be matched against one of the best in Jordan Zimmermann. Zimmermann has been very impressive at home as a favorite where he has led the Nats to a 27-10 mark in his last 37 starts in this role. What is most impressive within these numbers is that the Nats have averaged winning these games by a combined score of 5.6 to 3.3, or by over 2 runs per contest. The Mets have not responded well on the road when facing a team over .500 where they are 3-7 in their last 10, and behind Zimmermann to a line of -151 to -200, the Nationals are an amazing 20-3 in their last 23. Take Washington.
