Tennessee vs Atlanta -1 O/U 38
It’s Friday the 13th and we have found a not-so-scary free play for you! Now this is a game that fits some of the important preseason data. Unless you just arrived at The OddsBreakers, you know that coaching motivation is the most important thing when betting NFL preseason football. Looking at this game, you have The Atlanta Falcons who has a new coach in Arthur Smith. New coaches in general get a bit more fired up abut their first preseason games compared to the tenured ones. Now even though that there is no quarterback controversy in Atlanta, we must not ignore the fact that backups AJ McCarron and Felipe Franks is not a settled position. Digging a little deeper, the Titans also do not have any starting quarterback controversies and their backups Logan Woodside and Matt Barkley aren’t exactly something to write home about. Looking at Mike Vrable, he is a miserable 2-6 in preseason football and he is smart enough to not be risking his veteran talent in this football game. Tennessee will be treating this game with the only goal in mind as to test out his 3rd and 4th string to see who makes this team. Finally, coach Arthur Smith came from Tennessee over the last few years as offensive coordinator meaning that he will want to make an impact against his former team. Take the dirty birds.
Atlanta -1 – 2 stars
