Thought I would start a thread this for anyone that has any insights into this years preseason games. One of the most profitable times of the year. Have to listen and pay attention to a lot of coach talk but they rarely hide anything and usually lay out exactly what they plan on doing.

Preseason is a lot about backup QB play. Tonight's game seams like a gimmie when you compare the matchups.
Browns +2 and the $ line.

DTR best player on the field tonight as expected

The opening odds start here
Nice start!
Yeah good luck in getting him to the practice squad...
Anybody got anything for tonight?
I haven't had a whole lot of time to do any research.
Looks like the Pats will hardly play their starters and the Texans will be doing the opposite.
I'm going first half Texans -2.5 -115 and ML -154

What should have been an easy one turned into a sweat. lost the turnover battle 0-2 both came on their half of the field and somehow they still covered the #
I think we see some scoring in this second game. Very capable backups plus the 3rd string guys for both teams can run. Should see some points
I'm on
Sea -2.5 -110 and -152 ML 1st half
Over 20 -110 1st half
Over 37.5 -110 game

I like Cleveland tomorrow. They check a lot of boxes.
They've already played one game. It really helps when you're talking about guys that have hardly played in the NFL.
Home team. Fans getting behind these guys late in games I think it's a big help.
Cle -3 -110 and -155 ML

Takes but a couple of drives to realize that shocker....the Cleveland Browns will suck in 2023.
Yeah I was f***** as soon as I saw they took out DTR

O'Connell looked very good -- it was preseason, but he played the position well today.
But I'm not sanguine that he necessarily can press a healthy Jimmy G . . . yet . . . for playing time when they start playing real football against first-string defenses playing at full speed. He wasn't playing the San Francisco 1s on D today. If he was, they'd be trying to take away what he did well, find things that he didn't do well, and then force him to try to beat them with those things instead of what he did well.
But if Jimmy G goes down -- "hey, it could happen" -- and Hoyer is just past his time in relief -- and that has happened on occasion -- then you might be getting some good value in the line for a game or two with O'Connell stepping in in October or November.
And if all that happens, then we'll see if the Raiders have caught lightning in a bottle with another Brock Purdy type success story.
But he had a very good day today. Based at least on just today's exhibition, you'd rather have O'Connell than Lance on your QB roster.
The latter still hasn't shown me anything yet. I don't care about all that's invested in him and all the hype -- he's still got to do the work and produce on the field. It ain't happening yet.

I cant give an evaluation on Love being good. Lafleur had a plan of building his confidence with quick reads on 3 steps and easy throws.
He missed a wide open tight end on a crossing route on 3rd down which was a great play design.
I still see this being a very conservative team early in the season relying on Jones and Dillon along with their defense.
I would like to see more Love against actual 1s next week.
Ps. I am very high on gb this year. And it's not because my first solid food as a baby was a cheese curd

It will be interesting to see how Sean Payton fixes the OL
Wilson and stidham were the #1 and #3 in regards to highest rate of pressure per pass attempts.
Wilson 64%
Statham 59%
If this isn't fixed Wilson will be "let's ride" to the IR by week 4

I was a little surprised Wilson got some snaps first game out.
