NFL Preseason Week 2 Underdog Parlay Picks: August 20th 2010

The preseason of pro football betting usually provides some real surprising results that just aren’t common due to the uncertainty of the game. Today at BetUS, we look at our “Rabid Dawgs Parlay” for Week 2 of pro football betting in the preseason.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Game Date/Time: Friday, August 20th, 8:00 ET
Game Location: Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati, OH
TV/Radio Broadcast: Fox, Local TV, Westwood One, Sirius

NFL Odds: Philadelphia Eagles (+3) -120 vs. Cincinnati Bengals (-3) +100: Over/Under 36

If the Eagles are going to put forth a stellar effort like they did last week, they are going to be a fantastic choice for our Rabid Dawg Parlay. Racking up 496 yards of offense was no mistake against the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. The mistake was the fact that Philly ended up kicking five field goals from inside the red zone.

From the standpoint of the Bengals, this is the third preseason game, not the second. There is a real question about how Marvin Lewis is going to react. Odds have it, with one good game and one bad one under Cincy’s belt, Lewis probably won’t be so inclined to have his starters playing a ton in this game even though it is at home.

Watch out as the Eagles become a very, very rabid dawg in this pro football betting duel at Paul Brown Stadium on Friday night.

Miami Dolphins vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Game Date/Time: Saturday, August 21st, 7:30 ET
Game Location: Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, Jacksonville, FL
TV/Radio Broadcast: Local TV, Westwood One, Sirius

NFL Odds: Miami Dolphins (+2) -110 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (-2) -110: Over/Under 36

If both of these teams play the same sort of defense they played in Week 1 of the pro football betting preseason, the Dolphins are going to be in great shape. If they both play offense the same way, the Jags are the choice.

However, we aren’t so convinced that Luke McCown is going to be throwing for 244 yards and three TDs once again for Jacksonville. We tend to believe that we are going to see more from Trevor Harris, the team’s third string QB. Even though Harris completed six of his nine passes for 30 yards in the opening preseason duel, that more than likely won’t help him against a Miami defense which forced seven fumbles against the Bucs last week.

We tend to believe that Miami is in for a better game out of starting quarterback Chad Henne. Going 5-for-11 for 19 yards is inexcusable, particularly against a porous Tampa Bay defense. However, we know that the depth at quarterback could be a key to winning this game.

Between the offensive depth of the Eagles and the defensive prowess of the Dolphins, this makes for the perfect Rabid Dawg Parlay, which should pay off somewhere in the neck of the woods of 5.5-1 on the pro football betting lines.
