Atlanta vs Miami -6 O/U 36
Wow did Atlanta look bad in their last preseason game. I almost felt sorry for them as the Titans pretty much did what they want. Let’s face it, the position group is pretty settled on offense with Matt Ryan, Calvin Ridley, Mike Davis and their shiny new toy in Kyle Pitts. What hasn’t been settled is that defense and players will be very motivated to get into the rotation in the secondary as well as the defensive line. The Dolphins last week faced some embarrassment themselves vs the Chicago Bears. I can see Tua making some nice first half plays but in all honesty, this is a defensive oriented team and I think that they will have a better 2nd half. Unders are 3-0 in preseason week 2 so far because teams are being more vanilla in their play calling. Let’s take a shot at the under
Under 36 – 1.5 stars
Houston vs Dallas -3.5 O/U 36.5
Dallas hasn’t showed well this preseason at 0-2 and this team needs a spark. Mike McCarthy will not be playing Dak Prescott today but there is plenty of competition at backup between DiNucci, Rush and Gilbert. Houston won their first pre-season contest vs the Packers and now it is time for them to bring in their scrubs to find out who is making the team. Believe it or not, the Cowboys might be motivated here to reinforce their dominance in the wonderful state of Texas. This spread is a little high for my liking in the preseason but I think that there is some value in the derivative market. I can see Big D with a big first half. Mike McCarthy is 10-3 in preseason week 2. Take the Cowgirls.
Dallas 1st half -2 – 1.5 stars
