Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA
Cleveland’s Dorian Thompson-Robinson played well in Cleveland’s first preseason game, but Cleveland must start putting it all together for the season.
Cleveland should give Deshaun Watson playing time in this game, which will give the Browns the edge. Watson will want to get on the same page with his receivers in a game time situation. The Eagles don’t require as much work because Jalen Hurts, his receivers, and Philly’s offensive line are already on the same page.

Carolina Panthers at New York Giants
NFL Preseason 2 Odds: Panthers +3; Giants -3 / Panthers +134; Giants -165 / O/U 39

MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ
Bryce Young’s first preseason game wasn’t great. Young appeared hesitant to make a mistake, which is why his average completion went for 3.5 yards per.
That’s not going to cut it. So we should expect Young to push the envelope more in this game. The Giants are the overall better team. If Brian Daboll sends out NYG’s offensive starters, this will end in another Panthers’ blowout loss.

Chicago Bears at Indianapolis Colts -2.5
NFL Preseason 2 Odds: Bears +3.5; Colts -3.5 / Bears +143; Colts -176 / O/U 40
Saturday, August 19th, 2023 at 7:00 PM
Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, IN
The Colts showed in their first NFL Preseason game that they could be one of the AFC’s surprise teams this season. Anthony Richardson looks and plays like an NFL quarterback. He must raise his yard per completion from the 5.6 but the former Florida Gator has massive talent.
Gardner Minshew went 6-for-6 in the Colts’ first game. So if Richardson isn’t ready for the season, Minshew will be. As far as this game is concerned, the Bears won’t go all out in a road match while Minshew and Richardson, one of them, figures to get a lot of playing time. Colts win and cover.

New England Patriots at Green Bay Packers
NFL Preseason 2 Odds: Patriots +2; Packers -2 / Patriots +102; Packers -125 / O/U 37
Saturday, August 19th, 2023 at 8:00 PM
Lambeau Field, Green Bay, WI
Green Bay played both Jordan Love and Sean Clifford in NFL Preseason Week 1. Both played well.
The Patriots defense is tough. So we don’t know if Matt LaFleur will give Love a lot of run in this. However, there’s no way Bill Belichick tells his defense, or offense for that matter, to put it all on the line in a meaningless game. So no matter who LaFleur plays more at QB, Sean Clifford or Jordan Love, the Packers prevail SU and ATS.
NFL Preseason Week 2 Pick: Green Bay Packers | Bet Patriots at Packers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New York Jets
NFL Preseason 2 Odds: Buccaneers +1; Jets -1 / Buccaneers +109; Jets -132 / O/U 36.5
Saturday, August 19th, 2023 at 8:00 PM
MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ
Baker Mayfield was exceptional in limited playing time in the Buccaneers’ first NFL Preseason game. Mayfield was 8-of-9 for 63 yards and a TD. His per completion average came out to 7 yards.
The Jets won’t play Aaron Rodgers in this while the Bucs could give Baker more run. Tampa wins and covers.

Denver Broncos at San Francisco 49ers
NFL Preseason 2 Odds: Broncos -4; 49ers +4 / Broncos -194; 49ers +156 / O/U 38.5

Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, CA
It appears Sean Payton has gotten Russell Wilson back on track. Russ had a good first preseason game when completing 7-of-13 for 93 yards and a TD.
SF played Trey Lance in their first game and he rocked it. This week, Kyle Shanahan is likely to start Brock Purdy, but for how long remains to be seen. This will be an excellent game, but Denver should win and cover because Shanahan won’t take the chance of his quarterbacks, or defensive stars, getting hurt.
NFL Preseason Week 2 Pick: Denver Broncos | Bet Broncos at 49ers

New Orleans Saints at Los Angeles Chargers
NFL Preseason 2 Odds: Saints -3; Chargers +3 / Saints -165; Chargers +134 / O/U 3Z.5
Sunday, August 20th, 2023 at 8:00 PM
SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, CA
In New Orleans first preseason game, Derek Carr, Jameis Winston, and rookie Jake Haener played well. The Saints might have one of the league’s top QB rooms this season, which would be a massive change from last season.
The Bolts are set and won’t play many of their starters. The Saints offense rolls to a win and cover.
