NFL Preseason Week 2 Winning SU Picks

Now that we’re entering the second week of NFL preseason games, you can expect to see progressively longer outings from the first units of the teams’ offenses and defenses. The teams are having to start making some hard decisions as far as cuts go, so you’ll also see some players down the depth chart getting extended looks in the second half. Here is a look at our picks for this coming week’s preseason betting odds for Week 2.

Buffalo Bills at Philadelphia Eagles

When: 7pm ET Where: Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia TV: None Radio: WCMF 96.5 FM (Buffalo) / SportsRadio 94WIP (Philadelphia) Live Stream: NFL Live NFL Preseason Odds: TBA The Bills are still putting their new schemes together with a new head coaching regime in place, while the Eagles are readying for their second year under Doug Pederson. The Bills have the edge on the rushing game — depending on how much time LeSean McCoy gets, and they might have the better secondary, depending on the time that Tre’Davious White gets back there. However, the Eagles have LeGarrette Blount carrying the ball, so the Bills’ edge may be slim depending on the amount of time he gets. I like this to be a nailbiter, so I’m taking the Eagles at home.

Minnesota Vikings at Seattle Seahawks

When: 10pm ET Where: CenturyLink Field, Seattle TV: NFL Network Radio: KFXN-FM (Minnesota) / 710 ESPN (Seattle) Live Stream: NFL Live NFL Preseason Odds: TBA I’m excited about the Vikings this year, as they bring in Dalvin Cook to carry the ball, and they had one of the best defenses in the NFC. However, you have to be better than they are for me to pick them over the Seahawks at home — particularly given how much Pete Carroll likes to win in the preseason. Give me the Seahawks.

Saturday, August 19

Kansas City Chiefs at Cincinnati Bengals

When: 7pm ET Where: Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati, Ohio TV: None Radio: 101 The FOX (Kansas City) / WCKY-AM ESPN 1530 (Cincinnati) Live Stream: NFL Live NFL Preseason Odds: TBA Let’s see — a disciplined Kansas City team following Andy Reid’s system against a Cincinnati team that has shown nothing but issues with chemistry and focus the past two seasons. That’s a pretty easy pick for me — and I’m also excited to see Patrick Mahomes throwing the ball for the Chiefs. I’ll take Kansas City to win here.

Indianapolis Colts at Dallas Cowboys

When: 7pm ET Where: TV: NFL Network Radio: Live Stream: NFL Live NFL Preseason Odds: TBA The Dallas Cowboys faltered on offense against the Rams this past Saturday night, but Dak Prescott still has yet to take the field to run the Cowboys’ offense. We did learn that Kellen Moore probably shouldn’t be the answer at backup quarterback, but we’ll see if Jerry Jones wants to open the vault and pay a decent backup. The Rams have a much better defense than the Colts, and I expect Prescott to get a lot of time on the field in the Cowboys’ home preseason opener. Give me Dallas to win.

Denver Broncos at San Francisco 49ers

When: 10pm ET Where: AT&T Stadium, Arlington TV: NFL Network Radio: 107.5 FM The Fan (Indianapolis) / 105.3 The Fan (Dallas) Live Stream: NFL Live NFL Preseason Odds: TBA The Broncos have a lot more talent than the 49ers do, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. Even though Denver only has Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch as their quarterback options, San Francisco looks ready to enter the season starting Brian Hoyer, which does not bode well. I like Denver to come in and dominate at all levels of their depth chart.

Sunday, August 20

New Orleans Saints at L.A. Chargers

When: 8pm ET Where: StubHub Center, Carson, California TV: NFL Network Radio: WWL 105.3 FM (New Orleans) / KFWB 980 AM (LA) Live Stream: NFL Live NFL Preseason Odds: TBA The Saints don’t play nearly as well on the road as they do in the Crescent City, and in this battle between two aging quarterbacks that still have great arms but not a lot around them, I see the Chargers carrying the game at home. They have a slightly better defense based on last year’s numbers, and the Saints are coming off a preseason-opening loss to Cleveland.

Monday, August 21

N.Y. Giants at Cleveland Browns

When: 8pm ET Where: FirstEnergy Stadium, Cleveland, Ohio TV: ESPN Radio: WFAN 660 AM (NY) /  WKNR 850 AM (Cleveland) Live Stream: NFL Live NFL Preseason Odds: TBA The Browns won their preseason opener at home over the New Orleans Saints. However, the Giants have a much better defense than the Saints, and a much better receiving corps. Give me the G-men to win on national television. I think Cleveland will be a lot better this year, but they’re not where the Giants are yet.
