I'm letting you in on a couple trends because they are too good to ignore. The Falcons are a perfect 6-0 SU and ATS in the preseason versus Cincy going back to 1998. Each of the 6 wins came by at least 5 points. Also, the Falcons are 12-1 ATS in their last 13 preseason games after a loss by 14 or more points since 1993. They have bounced back to win by an average of 7.5 points in this situation.

5* Wiseguy NFLX *BLOOD BATH* on Raiders +3.5
Bottom Line: Plays on preseason underdogs or picks (OAKLAND) off a home loss by 10 or more points, with a losing record, are 42-21 ATS since 1993. If the "play on" side is winless in the preseason in this situation, this system tightens up to 21-6 ATS the last 10 seasons. Take the Raiders and the points.

4* Major NFLX MONEY MAKER on Jaguars -3
Bottom Line: The Jags have been a money wager in the final week of the preseason since Del Rio has been coach, going an outstanding 7-1. The Rams haven't gone 4-0 in the preseason since 1979 and have no incentive to let it all hang out here. They now have a lot more to play for in the regular-season than they have in quite some time and won't risk injury to Bradford. The Jags have the edge at home with Gabbert set to get a good amount of snaps and star running back Maurice Jones-Drew ready to take the field for the first time this season.

5* Wiseguy NFL Preseason Blowout Game of the Year on Washington Redskins -7
Bottom Line: The Bucs aren't planning on giving their starters much work tonight. In fact, don't be surprised if Raheem Morris decides not to play them at all. Tampa Bay had 10 wins last year and knows who its QB of the future is. Washington doesn't. The Skins are still trying to make a decision between Grossman and Beck, who will duke it out against mostly reserves tonight. With these two looking to impress Shanahan, look for the Skins to really lay the wood here. When Tampa elected not to give its starters much time against New England, it was clocked 31-14. We'll lay the points.

4* Major NFLX PRIMETIME PUNISHER on Jets -3
Bottom Line: A few key injuries put the Giants at a disadvantage tonight. Starting cornerback Terrell Thomas suffered a torn ACL last week and reserve corner Brian Witherspoon went down as well. The G-Men were already without Prince Amukamara. New York is also down a star pass rusher with Osi Umenyiora expected to miss several more weeks after going under the knife. The Giants rolled the Bears last week, but the Jets have a better offensive line that is capable of handling the rush. Plus, the Jets' passing attack is looking good and should be able to exploit New York's cornerbacks. We'll lay the field goal.

5* Wiseguy NFLX PRIMETIME PUNISHER (NBC) on Raiders +4.5
Bottom Line: We'll back the Raiders tonight behind a preseason system that has been way too profitable to ignore. Plays on preseason dogs (or pk) playing at home following 2 or more consecutive ATS losses are an awesome 25-7 ATS the last 18 years. This system is a strong 8-2 ATS the last 5 seasons. The Raiders will play their starters deeper in this game, and they have something to prove after last week's poor showing. We'll pound Oakland tonight.

4* Major NFLX Bailout on Cardinals +3
Bottom Line: I really like the Cardinals at home tonight. This will be just their third game in 17 days so I expect coach Whisenhunt to give Kevin Kolb and the first team plenty or reps. In fact, Kolb is expected to play the entire first half and a series or two in the third quarter. Philip Rivers doesn't need that many reps, and he isn't expected to get that many. There's no need for the Chargers to risk an injury to him. We'll take the Cards catching a field goal at home.

5* Wiseguy 2011 NFL Preseason Game of the Year on Buccaneers -3.5
Bottom Line: Raheem Morris is a great motivator. We saw that last season when he led the Bucs to 10 wins - 7 more than they recorded the previous year. Morris is not at all happy with the butt-kicking his team got by New England last week, and I fully expect him to have his boys ready to play. Tampa Bay has approached this game just like it would in the regular season. It installed a game plan, broke down film, etc. Offensive coordinator Greg Olson described last week's performance as "eye-opening" and a "slap in the face". With LeGarrette Blount and the first-team set to get extended time tonight, look for Olson to call a great game and for Tampa Bay to take care of its Sunshine State rivals.

4* Major NFLX MONEY MAKER on Bills -2.5
Bottom Line: Off back-to-back SU and ATS losses, expect the Bills to bounce back strong at home this evening. Rather than turn your back on Buffalo after a pair of disappointing offensive performances, history tells us to climb aboard. That's because Buffalo is an impressive 13-4 ATS in the preseason since 1993 after scoring 17 points or less in 2 straight games. Jacksonville is minus its top offensive weapon in Maurice Jones-Drew, and it will also be missing Pro Bowl pass rusher Aaron Kampman. We'll lay the points.

4* Major NFLX MONEY MAKER on Chiefs +1
Bottom Line: Preseason home underdogs or pick 'ems (KANSAS CITY) after 2 or more consecutive ATS defeats are an impressive 24-6 ATS the last 18 years. Teams fitting into this situation are winning outright by an average of 3.9 points. It's also worth noting that this system is a near-perfect 7-1 ATS the last 5 seasons. Take Kansas City.

5* Wiseguy NFLX PRIMETIME PUNISHER (CBS) on Colts +9
Bottom Line: Plays on underdogs or pick (INDIANAPOLIS) off a home loss by 10 or more points, winless in the preseason, are 20-6 ATS the last 10 seasons. Teams fitting into this situation are winning outright by an average of 1.3 points. Odds makers aren't giving the Colts enough respect tonight. With Kerry Collins now on the roster, Curtis Painter and Dan Orlovsky are in tight competition for third-string duties and maybe even a roster spot. This should bring out the best in them tonight. Take the points.

5* Wiseguy NFLX PRIMETIME PUNISHER (ESPN) on Redskins +5
Bottom Line: A very simple but strong preseason situation supports the Redskins tonight. Consider that plays on underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points (WASHINGTON) after 2 or more consecutive straight up wins are 25-6 ATS the last 10 seasons. Washington holds the edge here because it has a quarterback battle on its hands. John Beck and Rex Grossman are both in the running for the starting job, and they'll both see a lot of action tonight against a Baltimore defense that will be playing without Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Terrell Suggs or Haloti Ngata most of the night. Take the points.

4* Major NFLX MONEY MAKER on Bengals -2.5
Bottom Line: After getting blown out in back-to-back road games, expect a much better performance from the Bengals at home tonight against the worst team in the NFL last season. Look for Cam Newton to really struggle tonight. He is having difficulty grasping the playbook and struggling to make quick reads. As a result, he is yet to lead the Panthers on a touchdown drive. Leon Hall leads a very good Cincy secondary. Don't be surprised if Cincy's back four creates some turnovers against Newton. We'll lay the number.

5* Wiseguy Primetime Punisher (ESPN) on Giants -4.5
Bottom Line: New York's starters are expected to get a little more action than Chicago's tonight. Plus, I love the Giants' pass rush in this one. The Giants sacked Cutler nine times in the first half en route to an easy 17-3 win last season. It's also worth noting that the Bears gave up 9 sacks against Buffalo last week. They were able to survive their poor offensive line play against the lowly Bills but won't be able to against this talented New York squad. Lay the points.

4* NFL Preseason *POWER PLAY* on Bengals +6.5
Bottom Line: The public is piling on the Jets, but we won't hesitate to lay down on the Bengals catching points. Marvin Lewis typically plays his starters a lot in the second week of the preseason, and that is expected to be the case tonight. As a result, he is 6-2 in Week 2 preseason games. With New York backup QB Mark Brunell not at 100 percent, the Bengals should have the edge in the second half with Bruce Gradkowski and Jordan Palmer under center. Take the points.

4* Major Battle of the Bay on Raiders +3
Bottom Line: The Raiders get the call because of their strong quarterback stable of Kyle Boller, Jason Campbell and Trent Edwards. San Francisco's stable is far less proven. Take the points with the Raiders.

5* Wiseguy NFL Preseason Game of the Week on Texans +2
Bottom Line: I really like the Texans at home in this what because of what Matt Leinart brings to the table as an experienced backup with something to prove. Plus, Saints are in a world of hurt in terms of injuries so they're reserves will see the large majority of the action in this one. Pound Houston.

4* Major NFLX Primetime Punisher (FOX) on Jaguars -3
Bottom Line: The Jags will be very motivated at home tonight following their embarrassing Week 1 loss to the Pats. A closer look at last week's loss shows Jacksonville's starting defense was only on the field for one of New England's touchdowns. This is a greatly improved unit, and it will see more action tonight. In addition, starting quarterback David Garrard will be back tonight. It should also bode well for the Jags that Blaine Gabbert took snaps against New England's first team last week. He played pretty well and should be even more settled in a role against Atlanta's reserves. This game means a lot more to the Jags, who are looking to generate some excitement for the upcoming season by getting a win in front of their home fans. Lay the points.

5* Wiseguy NFLX Monster Line Mistake on Chiefs +6.5
Bottom Line: The Chiefs aren't getting near the respect they deserve with this line because of their poor preseason record under Haley. Quarterback Matt Cassel only played in three series and didn't throw a single pass in the Chiefs' first preseason game. That shows you how hard they tried to win that one. KC's starters will get more action tonight, and they'll be motivated by getting shut out last week and by getting knocked out of the playoffs by Baltimore last year. Plays on underdogs or pick (KANSAS CITY) off a home loss by 10 or more points, winless in the preseason, are 20-5 ATS the last 10 seasons. Also, Baltimore is 0-7 ATS in home preseason games after scoring 14 points or less in its last game. It's losing by an average score of 23.6 to 18.1 in this situation. Take the Chiefs.

5* Wiseguy NFLX *BLOOD BATH* on Bucs -2.5
Bottom Line: Tampa has owned the Pats in the preseason. It's 5-0 straight up and against the spread in its last 5 preseason games against the Patriots with those wins coming by 17, 3, 17, 10 and 31 points. Also, Week 2 of the preseason is when Tampa head man Raheem Morris has really unleashed the hounds. He's a perfect 2-0 in the second week of the preseason through his first two seasons on the job. New England's starters won't see much work tonight, which gives the edge to the Bucs on their home turf. Lay the number.

5* Wiseguy MNF Massacre (ESPN) on Texans -2.5
Bottom Line: The Jets are at a big disadvantage this evening with backup quarterback Mark Brunell out with an injury to his throwing hand. The Jets ranked 22nd in passing offense last season and Mark Sanchez ranked 27th in passer rating among starters to begin with, and it doesn't figure to get any better when seventh-round pick Greg McElroy and undrafted free agent Drew Willy are in there. Houston is in much better shape with Matt Leinart set to get the majority of the snaps. He has a lot of experience playing in the preseason and still believes he can be a starter in the NFL in the near future, although not likely with the Texans. Coach Rex Ryan is 0-2 in Week 1 of the preseason with the Jets. We'll hammer Houston.

4* Major on Rams -7
Bottom Line: The Colts are an established team and put no stock whatsoever into winning in the preseason. They laid a goose egg in exhibition action last year and are now just 1-7 in 8 preseason games under coach Caldwell. The Rams, meanwhile, are 6-2 in 8 preseason games under Steve Spagnuolo. He takes these warm-up games seriously and I don't foresee a change in M.O. after the strides that were made last season. Lay the points.

5* Wiseguy NFL Preseason Game of the Week on Browns -1.5
Bottom Line: The Browns defeated the Packers 27-24 at Green Bay in their first preseason game last year, and I expect them to take down the Super Bowl champs by an even larger margin this time around. Cleveland has a lot more to prove as players look to impress the new coach. The biggest thing Green Bay wants to do this preseason is make it to the regular season at 100%. The Pack had a ton of injuries last year and quarterback Aaron Rodgers even suffered two concussions. Shurmur wants Colt McCoy to build his confidence so I expect him to get plenty of reps. Plus, Seneca Wallace is a proven performer in the preseason. Pound the Browns.

5* Wiseguy NFLX Primetime Punisher (FOX) on Buccaneers -3 +110
Bottom Line: Coach Raheem Morris is on the record saying his first-teamers will see extra action tonight. Instead of limiting the starters to just one series or a dozen plays, Morris plans to play starters such as Faine, quarterback Josh Freeman and running back LeGarrette Blount for about 20 plays.

4* Major on Redskins -2
Bottom Line: Mike Shanahan clearly places an emphasis on the preseason, as evidenced by his 43-21 record in his last 64 preseason games. I like his team to be ready for the reigning AFC champs tonight. Rex Grossman is expected to see considerable action, and I expect him to play well. He's out to show the coaches that he should be the guy, not John Beck. Plus, Washington has dominated the Steelers in the preseason, winning 7 of the last 8 matchups. Lay the points.

5* Wiseguy NFLX *BLOOD BATH* on Raiders -3 -120
Bottom Line: Really like the Raiders at home laying just a field goal. Arizona's quarterback situation was terrible last season and don't expect that to change with Kolb only having a few practices to get familiar with the offense. Plus, Zona is just 5-12 SU and 6-11 ATS record in its last 17 NFLX contests. Oakland's proven QB rotation of Jason Campbell, Kyle Boller and Trent Edwards gives it the edge tonight.

4* Major NFLX Primetime Punisher (ESPN) on Seahawks +3.5 -120
Bottom Line: Seattle has won 5 of 7 preseason matchups against the Chargers since 2002 and one of those losses came by a single point. San Diego had the best offense and defense in the NFL statistically last season but failed to make the playoffs largely because of poor special teams play. They'll be putting an emphasis on special teams in the preseason, looking for guys who can give the special teams a boost, but that's about it. Don't expect Rivers to get much action. He's far too valuable to risk injury. We'll take the Seahawks +3.5.

4* Major NFLX Underdog Shocker on Tampa Bay Bucs +3
Bottom Line: This game doesn't mean anything to a Houston team that powdered Dallas in its dress rehearsal last week. However, it means a lot to a Tampa Bay team that is coming off a terrible season and is looking to hit the regular season with momentum on its side. Houston is 0-6 ATS in its last 6 preseason games as a favorite of 3 or less points, and I look for this trend to continue.

5* Wiseguy NFL Preseason Game of the Week on KC Chiefs -5.5
Bottom Line: Green Bay has absolutely no incentive to win this football game tonight, and the line reflects that. The Chiefs, on the other hand, could use a win in the worst way. They were shut out in the 2009 preseason, and they don't want to lay a big goose egg again. A win is what this team needs to head into the regular season with momentum and additional confidence, and I expect Haley to go after the "W" tonight. Since 1983, NFL preseason favorites off 3 consecutive straight up losses, playing a team coming off a straight up win, are 9-2 straight up and ATS. Take the Chiefs.

5* Wiseguy Sunday Night Football Best Bet on Denver Broncos +2.5
Bottom Line: Denver checks in at 0-2, but history is on its side tonight. In fact, the Broncos are a perfect 9-0 ATS in preseason play following a home loss since 1993, bouncing back to win by an average score of 23.9 to 10.4 in these spots. Plus, plays on underdogs or pick 'ems off a home loss, if that team is winless in the preseason, is 50-21 ATS the last 10 seasons, including a perfect 3-0 already this season. Lastly, we also find that plays on home underdogs or pick 'ems after 2 or more consecutive losses against the spread in preseason play, are 21-6 ATS since 1993. Take Denver tonight.

5* Wiseguy NFL Preseason Game of the Year on Houston Texans -3
Bottom Line: The Texans have far more to prove tonight. They take the field for their first home game of the preseason, and they are without a victory. With the starters expected to play the majority of the game, they'll be out to prove to themselves that they can beat a team that is considered a Super Bowl contender. Dallas takes a little bit different approach tonight because it has already played 3 preseason contests. With its starters having already gotten more snaps than just about every other team, the Cowboys don't have the pressure to play them as deep into this game. Plus, it wouldn't be wise with offensive lineman Marc Columbo and Kyle Kosier expected to be out. Dallas is expected to work on its running game, because it has struggled to get much of anything going on the ground in its first 3 contests. This bodes well for us as plays against road teams averaging 90 or less rushing yards/game, after gaining 99 or less rushing yards in 3 straight games, are 30-10 ATS since 1993. These teams are losing by an average of 7.9 points. Houston needs this game more, and it will get it at home tonight. Best of luck!

4* Major NFLX Prime Time Pounder (CBS) on San Diego Chargers +3
Bottom Line: San Diego is 10-1 ATS off a home loss in preseason play since 1993, winning by an average score of 22.7 to 14.0 in this spot. Plus, New Orleans is just 3-13 ATS in home preseason games after 1 or more consecutive wins against the spread since 1993, losing these games by an average score of 15.4 to 19.3. The big key tonight is defense, and the Chargers certainly have the edge there. San Diego has only allowed 26 points through its first 2 preseason games, while New Orleans has given up 47. I'll take the better defensive team catching a field goal.

5* Wiseguy NFL Preseason Best Bet on Kansas City Chiefs +2.5
Bottom Line: Odds makers are begging for bettors to take the Eagles with this link, but we won't bite, knowing that plays on home underdogs or pick after 2 or more consecutive losses against the spread in preseason play, are 21-5 ATS since 1993, including a perfect 3-0 ATS over the last 3 seasons. These home dogs are winning these games outright by an average of 3.9 points. In addition, Philly is 0-6 ATS in all preseason games over the last 2 seasons, losing by an average score of 22.8 to 28.2. Take the Chiefs.

5* Wiseguy NFL Preseason Best Bet (ESPN) on Packers -3.5
Bottom Line: Indy has lost its first 2 preseason games by double digits, and that really doesn't come as much of a surprise considering the Colts are just 4-20 in their last 24 preseason games. While Indy's first team offense is good, it isn't clicking the way Green Bay's is right now. Rodgers has been ridiculous, completing 20 of 24 passes with three touchdowns and no interceptions for a QB rating of 154.0. The Packers should have no problem putting points on the board against an Indy defense that gave up 367 yards to the Bills and 335 yards to the 49ers. Take the Packers at home tonight as they whip up on a Colts team that isn't concerned with winning preseason games.

4* Major on Rams +8
Bottom Line: With the injury to A.J. Feeley, Sam Bradford gets the start tonight, and I expect him to have a breakout game. After a pair of disappointing performances, he should be much sharper while playing with the first team offense tonight. He will especially benefit from having Steven Jackson in the backfield behind him. New England needs to work on its running game, as the team feels that is one area that is standing in its way of getting back to the Super Bowl. With the Pats keeping the ball on the ground tonight, the clock will keep moving, and that makes these 8 points even more valuable. The Pats have impressed in their first 2 preseason games, so I don't expect them to go all out here against a team they know they are better than. With all this in mind, I feel the Rams have been undervalued.

5* Wiseguy ESPN Prime Time Punisher on Arizona Cardinals +4
Bottom Line: Plays on underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points after 1 or more consecutive wins against the spread, in August games, are 56-29 ATS the last 10 seasons, including an impressive 12-1 ATS the last 3 seasons. In addition, plays on underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points off a win as a home underdog, in August games, are 20-5 ATS the last 17 seasons, including 5-0 ATS the last 5 seasons. Arizona didn't play that well in Week 1, and it still came out on top. I expect Matt Leinart and Derek Anderson to both play much better tonight. They should have success against a Tennessee secondary that was awful in 2009, especially since Cortland Finnegan is not expected to be in action. Tennessee is a running team, but I'm not big on its running back depth after Chris Johnson. Take the Cards and the points tonight.

5* Wiseguy Sunday Night Football Best Bet (NBC) on Vikings +3
Bottom Line: Favre is back and expected to play a couple series, but I really like the Vikings tonight because of the depth behind him. The duo of Jackson and Rosenfels should have their way with San Francisco's second/third string. The 49ers were impressive against Indy in their first preseason game, but they'll be up against a deeper, more experienced defense tonight, and third stringer Nate Davis expected to get the majority of the snaps. I look for Minnesota's "D" to win that battle. The 49ers went 0-2 ATS as home faves in last year's preseason, and they are just 1-4 ATS as home chalk since 2007. Bet the Vikes.

4* Major on Buccaneers -2
Bottom Line: KC is just 1-8 ATS in all preseason games since the beginning of the 2008 season. It is also only 3-13 ATS in preseason action as a road underdog of 3 points or less since 1993. Also, TB is an impressive 12-3 ATS in preseason action off a road loss since 1993, winning by an average score of 23.6 to 12.3 in these games. Lay the points.

4* Major on Browns -3
Bottom Line: St. Louis looked terrible in its preseason opener, and things won't be any better on the road against a Cleveland team that is taking the preseason very seriously. The Browns were impressive, putting 27 points on the board in a win at Green Bay, and I expect them to build on that performance. We also can't overlook the fact that St. Louis is only 4-15 ATS in preseason action when playing on a Saturday since 1993. Bet the Browns.

5* Wiseguy NFLX Blowout Game of the Week on Steelers -3.5
Bottom Line: The Giants are banged up at the QB position. Eli Manning and Jim Sorgi are both expected to miss the contest. Losing an experienced preseason QB like Sorgi is a huge blow. This means that Rhett Bomar will be thrown to the wolves. With Big Ben Roethlisberger expected to get some snaps, along with Leftwich, Dixon and Batch, the Steelers have a huge edge in the QB department. Plus, this is a tough spot for New York playing off a short week. Pound Pittsburgh!

5* Wiseguy NFLX National TV *BLOOD BATH* (FOX) on Eagles +3
Bottom Line: The offense totaled nearly 500 yards in Philly's first preseason game, and with the starters expected to play the entire first half, I'm expecting another high octane performance. After Kolb, the Eagles are in good hands with Vick. The Bengals are playing on a short week, so some of their banged up guys likely won't see much action. For example, OT Andrew Mitchell, DE Robert Geathers, LB Rashad Jeanty, S Tom Nelson and FB Fui Vakapuna aren't expected to go tonight. With as good as Philly's offense looked in Week 1, and with extra prep time, I like the Eagles catching points tonight.

5* Wiseguy NFL Preseason Double Digit *BLOOD BATH* on Bills -3.5
Bottom Line: Indy is banged up even worse than Buffalo with Dallas Clark, Kyle DeVan, Ryan Diem, Pierre Garcon, Donye McCleskey, Bob Sanders, Jamie Silva, and Jaimie Thomas all nursing injuries. Indy typically doesn't come to play in the preseason, and it certainly isn't going to risk further injury to any of its key guys just to win a preseason game. Manning won't see much time behind a banged up line, which means that Indy's quarterback stable, which was awful last week, will see most of the snaps again tonight. The Colts are just 4-19 SU and 6-17 ATS in the preseason since the start of 2005. With these things in mind, and with Buffalo having 2 extra days of prep time, I like the Bills to win by double digits.

5* Wiseguy Monday Night Football Best Bet (ESPN) on Jets -2
Bottom Line: The Jets have owned the Giants in the preseason. Dating back to 1993, the Jets are 13-4 SU & 13-3-1 ATS in preseason games against the Giants. The Giants put up a fight last season, only losing to the Jets by 2 points, but that Giants team received strong QB play from David Carr. Carr is no longer a Giant, and the G-men are very thin at the QB position as a result. Once Eli Manning makes an early departure, the Giants will throw Jim Sorgi and Rhett Bomar to the wolves. I like a deep and talented Jets defense to give these two all kinds of problems. The Jets have a stronger QB rotation with Mark Sanchez, Kellen Clemens, Mark Brunell and Erik Ainge. In addition, the Jets are a better running team. I'll lay the points with the Jets tonight.

5* Wiseguy NFLX Sunday Night Best Bet on Bengals -3
Bottom Line: The Bengals have the advantage playing at home with a game already under their belt. The fact that they did not show well with far too many turnovers and penalties in their first game bodes well for us as they will take the field with more focus tonight. Expect Cincy's QB rotation of Carson and Jordan Palmer and JT O'Sullivan to play much better tonight against a Denver defense that isn't very deep. Plus, I really like the Bengals defense in the 4th quarter when Tim Tebow is expected to make his debut at QB. Even coach Josh McDaniels admits Tebow probably isn't ready to be an NFL quarterback at this point. Bet the Bengals.

4* Major NFLX Underdog Shocker on Cleveland Browns +2.5
Bottom Line: The Browns have the advantage at the QB position with Jake Delhomme, Seneca Wallace and Colt McCoy. We won't see much of Aaron Rodgers, which means that unproven Matt Flynn and Graham Harrell will get the majority of the snaps for Green Bay. I like Cleveland's chances against these two. Green Bay's biggest mission is to try out some young guys and get to the regular season healthy. Meanwhile, expect Cleveland to go all out as it looks to build on the momentum it created late last season.

5* Wiseguy NFL Preseason Game of the Week on Arizona Cardinals +1.5
Bottom Line: Really like the Cards at home tonight. With Matt Leinart, who is out to prove that he can keep the Cards atop the West, and Derek Anderson, who showed more than just glimpses in Cleveland, the Cards should get good QB play. And that good play should turn into points against a Texas secondary that isn't scaring anyone. Don't expect to see much of Matt Schaub. That means that John David Booty and Dan Orlovsky will get the majority of the snaps. Neither of these guys inspire much confidence if you ask me. Take the Cards!

5* Wiseguy NFLX Blowout on Redskins -3.5
Bottom Line: Washington has more talent and more depth on both sides of the football, plus the home field advantage. Shanahan brings a winning mentality to this football team. The guy flat out plays to win each week, as evidenced by his 42-26 preseason record. Compare that to the 1-9 preseason mark Chan Gailey had with Dallas. Washington's defense has talent all over the field, and that defense will be even better this season now that the offense is in better shape to move the football. With Brian Brohm, who has been terrible as a pro, expected to see considerable action for Buffalo, I expect the Skins to really dominate. Look for Washington to post a double-digit win.

4* Major NFLX Underdog Shocker on Jaguars +3
Bottom Line: Like the Jags to pull off the upset here when you consider Philly is 0-6 straight up and against the spread in its first preseason game the last 6 years. This is a direct result to Andy Reid's preseason mentality. In fact, Philly is only 4-13 ATS in the first two weeks of the pre-season since 1993, losing these games by an average score of 15.5 to 20.5. I also like Jacksonville's QB situation. Garrard has pressure to play well because the Jags likely won't hesitate to hand the team to McCown if he doesn't. McCown will be looking to impress as well to make that decision easier for the coaching staff when/if the time comes. Take the Jags and the points.
