This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on the Seahawks.

I like Seattle to keep the foot on the gas here at home vs. "America's team" and to not only win this game, but to do so in blowout fashion.

The Cowboys are just going to go through the motions once again in my estimation after coming up short at home vs. Jacksonville in last week's 28-23 setback. 

Dak Prescott isn't scheduled to see any time, and if he does, it'll be for only a series. Regardless, this Dallas offense looks impotent without Prescott directing the show, and now dealing with the absence of Ezekiel Elliot.

Seattle fell behind Minnesota early last week, but then put the foot on the gas and won 24-13. QB Drew Lock had 191 passing yards, two TD's and an INT. 

Dallas on the other hand turned the ball over three times last week. 

With Seattle expected to work more of its starters into the rotation in Week 2, I'm expecting a complete blowout here.

Lay the points, the play is SEATTLE.

Good luck, NP

This is a 10* BEST OF THE BEST on the GIANTS on the MONEYLINE.

Carolina lost 27-0 to the Jets in its opener, and now I think it'll have its hands full here with the other New York team on Friday night.

Instead of worrying about the spread option though, I'm going to recommend just playing New York on the moneyline option.

The Giants are off a 21-16 loss at Detroit.

The old eye test though reveals that Carolina sure looked like garbage though overall. Bryce Young was 4 of 6 for 21 yards. His offensive line was terrible.

The defense was the brigh tspot in the 27-0 loss. 

New York essentially sat out all of its offensive starters last week, with QB Tommy DeVito seeing the bulk of the time by going 15 of 24 for 155 yards and a TD.

New York has the better defense is playing at home.

Lay the price on the GIANTS on the MONEYLINE.

Good luck, NP

This is a 10* TOW on the UNDER Browns/Eagles.

The Browns are 1-1 and the Eagles are 0-1 so far in the preseason.

Philly went OVER the number in its last game with 39 points, but the Browns have seen an average of 33.5 PPG so far over their first two games. 

Jalen Hurts and the Eagles first offense will see their very first action of the year, and it won't be a lot. 

And with the Browns expected to concetrate on the run game while on offense, the sharp move as far as the total is concerned is indeed on the UNDER in my opinion.

Good luck, NP

This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on the 49ers.

The bottom line here is that San Fran has a QB battle going on, and it will throughout the preseason. Brock Purdy is expected to be the No. 1 guy, but there will be a fight for the No. 2 spot between Trey Lance and Sam Darnold.

The 49ers also play to win the preseason, as Kyle Shanahan is 7-3 in his last ten preseason games.

On the flip-side, Raiders' coach Josh McDaniels is just 6-6 in his preseason career. 

Las Vegas is thin, especially at the QB position where its backup is 37-year old Brian Hoyer. 

I'm banking on San Fran not only winning this game, but doing so by a sizeable margin.

The play is the 49ERS.

Good luck, NP

This is a 10* NFLX GOY on the Saints MONEYLINE.

If this were the regular season, I'd be leaning KC here, but it's not and the Saints have plenty of things working in their favor here in Week 1 of the preseason. 

Andy Reid and the Chiefs are the defending champs, but there's plenty of concern heading into the season because of line-up changes. Chris Jones is a hold out, and Charles Omenihu is suspended for the first third of the seasOn. 

There's also plenty of young receiving talent that will need to see time to "get up to speed" with the pro game.

The Chiefs aren't expected to play their starters much, or at all in this one, while the Saints are going to play their starters.

That works in favor of Derek Carr to give him a chance for a few reps with the first-team offense. And then having Jameis Winston as a back-up QB is a huge bonus for the Saints obviously.

The Chiefs have issues to deal with, and nothing to play for here. This is a bigger deal for the Saints, and they have a lot of different situational factors working in their favor.

Forget the spread, the play is NEW ORLEANS on the MONEYLINE.

Good luck, NP

This is an 8* EXPRESS on the RAVENS on the MONEYLINE.

The Ravens don't lose in the preaseason, and I'm banking on that streak continuing here, but instead of worrying about the spread, I'm going to just lay the price on the moneyline. Jalen Hurts and the Eagles will be hoping that they don't suffer a Super Bowl letdown as the loser often does the following year after they lost 38-35 to the Chiefs. The offense and defense look great for both teams. The Ravens finished 10-7 and fell to the Bengals 24-17 in the Wildcard. Baltimore is 23-0 SU in its last 23 preseason games, and all signs point to another SU victory here. Lay the price, the play is BALTIMORE on the MONEYLINE.

Good luck, NP

This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the JAGUARS on the MONEYLINE.

The preseason comes down to head coaching and motivation. Because at the end of the day, no one cares if they win or lose. Finding little angles that you can take advantage of is also key, and in this contest, the Jags are expected to give all their starters some game-time action in this one, and because of that, I like Jacksonville to post a SU victory (note, the Jags won 34-14 when these teams met in the preseason last year.)

Good luck, NP
