NFL Week 3 Preseason Super Teaser Prediction: August 26th 2010

Teasing preseason games in the NFL is always a great way to get an edge on the oddsmakers if a line is tight. They don’t get any tighter than in the preseason, so we are set to take advantage. Check out our super NFL teaser of the week for the third week of the preseason.

St. Louis Rams vs. New England Patriots
Game Date/Time: Thursday, August 26th, 7:30 ET
Game Location: Gillette Stadium, Foxboro, MA
TV/Radio Broadcast: Local TV, Westwood One, Sirius

NFL Odds: St. Louis Rams (+7.5) -110 vs. New England Patriots (-7.5) -110: Over/Under 37.5

Simply put, catching 17.5 points in the preseason is nuts. Are the Rams going to be able to compete with the Patriots in the first two quarters of this NFL betting battle on Thursday night? Probably not. However, if they can stick within a TD, they are almost certainly going to be golden going into the second half. This is a huge game for Sam Bradford, as he looks to build some confidence against the best in the NFL. The Pats have played well in the preseason thus far, but we tend to believe that getting this many points is too good an opportunity to overlook.

Indianapolis Colts vs. Green Bay Packers
Game Date/Time: Thursday, August 26th, 8:00 ET
Game Location: Lambeau Field, Green Bay, WI
TV/Radio Broadcast: ESPN, Westwood One, Sirius

NFL Odds: Indianapolis Colts (+3.5) -110 vs. Green Bay Packers (-3.5) -110: Over/Under 44.5

What a lofty ‘total’ this is! One must remember that this is still the preseason and that the starters are still only going to play a half of football at best. Indianapolis is still a team that really could care less whether it wins or loses its exhibitions, and quite often, it plays an awfully vanilla game just to survive without any injuries. Green Bay’s defense should be up to the challenge of facing Peyton Manning and one of the highest flying offenses in the league. There’s no way the ‘total’ should be this high, and taking it up ten more points almost isn’t fair

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Game Date/Time: Saturday, August 28th, 7:30 ET
Game Location: Raymond James Stadium, Tampa Bay, FL
TV/Radio Broadcast: Local TV, Westwood One, Sirius

NFL Odds: Jacksonville Jaguars (-2.5) -110 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+2.5) -110: Over/Under 36.5

If the Jags don’t find a way to win at least the first half of this game on Saturday night, they have a lot of problems. Tampa Bay is going to be without Josh Freeman, meaning it’ll be up to Josh Johnson and Rudy Carpenter to carry the load for the Bucs’ offense. David Garrard and Luke McCown both have something to prove, as both have the ability to lead this team to a number of scores. Jacksonville gave up last week and conceded a one point loss instead of trying to tie the game, which blew any chances of the cover. We’ll have plenty of leeway this week catching over a touchdown.
