Your Thursday freebie is the Eagles as the home favorite over the Dolphins.

It's "go time" for both Miami and Philadelphia, as we have reached the third game of the preseason which means coaches will be taking much longer looks at their starters this weekend.

True, Miami made it to the playoffs last season, while Philly did not, but the Dolphins have to deal with the fact starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill is not going to be around to guide this team this season.

Jay Cutler will get a longer look, but can you really trust him to be ready after sitting idle for so long?

Philly responded with the win and cover last week over Buffalo in the preseason at home, and I see no reason to go against them tonight as the small home favorite.

Backup Matt McGloin did look sharp last week for the Birds, and of course tonight we will get a longer look at starter Carson Wentz.

The Eagles get the job done at home tonight, as they take this one by a solid touchdown.

3* PHILADELPHIA

SCOTT RICKENBACH

Panthers-120

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NFLX Thursday Free Pick Carolina Panthers (-) @ Jacksonville Jaguars @ 7:30 ET - Keep in mind that Week 3 of the Preseason is annually the week that is most like the regular season each and every year. It's considered the "dress rehearsal" week for teams as they then like to rest their starters the next week, in Week 4, as they don't want to get somebody hurt right before the regular season. With that said, let's not forget that Jacksonville is an ugly 11-37 in regular season games the last 3 seasons combined while Carolina went 15-1 in 2015 before last season's disappointing 6-10 result. That said, the Panthers are still the much more talented team and they're extra hungry heading into this season. They showed that with, even though it's "only" preseason, a Week 1 win over Houston and then last week battling back in Week 2 to tie Tennessee before eventually falling short in the 34-27 final. Carolina trailed by as many as 17 points in that game and showed a lot of heart in fighting back after being down 17-0 after one quarter. Jacksonville head coach Doug Marrone is only 2-7-2 ATS (and 4-7 SU) in NFLX action after last week's disappointing effort that saw the Jags score just 8 points. While the Jaguars have a lot of uncertainty at the QB position in terms of the starter, the Panthers get a boost with Cam Newton ready to go this week. Also, his back-ups have received plenty of work leading into this one and the Panthers have scored 27 points in each preseason game. Look for Jacksonville to struggle to keep up. Free Pick on CAROLINA Thursday. Best of luck, Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach

SEAN MURPHY

Thursday MLB free play. My selection is on the 'under' between Texas and Los Angeles at 10:05 pm et on Thursday.

Let's try this again. Both of these teams have trended to the 'under' this season. However, two of the first three games in this series have gone 'over' the total. I look for a return to form here as the Rangers send Martin Perez to the hill against Troy Scribner. Perez has worked at least six innings in three straight starts. He was roughed up by the White Sox last time out but I'm confident we'll see him bounce back here, noting that he had given up just three earned runs over 14 innings in his two previous outings. Troy Scribner has been serviceable in two starts for the Angels. They've limited his pitch counts but I look for them to stretch him out a little more on Thursday.
