New York Giants (NL) at Baltimore Ravens – Saturday 7:30 pm ET
Expect Baltimore to be around a touchdown favorite when the spread is released. Note there’s no national broadcast for this game.
Quarterback Eli Manning is going to play after missing last week. He suffered a facial laceration in the opener against the Jets and it will be interesting to see how long he plays. Rhett Bomar is the backup with Jim Sorgi currently injured as well.
Baltimore has played well at 2-0 straight-up (SU) and ATS in the preseason. Those wins were against Carolina and Washington, with 15 total points allowed. Quarterback Joe Flacco needs to have a good game in likely his last snaps before the regular season.
Dallas Cowboys (+3) at Houston Texans – Saturday 8 pm ET
This game between in-state rivals will be broadcast on CBS.
Dallas is 2-1 SU and ATS in the preseason. They’re on their fourth game already, having played in the Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio. Quarterback Tony Romo and the offense haven’t done much so far. Their highest point total in a game is 16.
Houston has been stuck on the road. First was a trip to Arizona when the reserves blew a 16-0 lead in the fourth quarter. Next was at New Orleans, with the Saints dominating 38-20. Houston needs to find their running game as they can’t just rely on quarterback Matt Schaub.
Pittsburgh Steelers (-2) at Denver Broncos – Sunday 8 pm ET
This is the only Sunday NFL Betting Picks game with no Monday contest. Fox will broadcast nationally.
Pittsburgh is expected to start quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. That’s a curious decision as he’s suspended for at least the first four regular season games. Dennis Dixon should come in next and he could be supplanting Byron Leftwich as the opening day starter.
Denver has a steady quarterback in Kyle Orton right now, but not much else. The running backs have been hit hard by injuries and the defense has looked very shaky. They allowed 58 total points in losses against Cincinnati and Detroit.
