NFL Preseason Week 2 Best Bets - Football Lines

If you think Preseason NFL games are boring you weren’t watching the first week of exhibition games. There were some marvelous performances including what would have been a NFL record 70-yard field goal by Jacksonville’s Cam Little, a game-opening 100-yard kickoff return for a TD, a punt returned 87-yards for a score and plenty of offense. Week 2 of the NFL preseason has a lot to live up to, but compelling matchups and a number of position battles supply the excitement. The betting week opens on Friday, August 15 when No. 1 overall draft pick Cam Ward and the Tennessee Titans visit Atlanta. Seattle hosts Kansas City in the second game of the day.

The bulk of the action takes place on Saturday with 11 games on the slate. Included in those matchups are battles for local bragging rights. The Chargers and Jets will be designated visiting teams in their games with stadium partners. And all four clubs enter after winning their opener. The Bolts and Rams have split their last four preseason games with three of those outings cashing the UNDER. Sean McVay has rested starters and regulars for the entire preseason and will continue doing so. Stetson Bennett played the entire Week 1 game throwing two TD passes in a 31-21 win over Dallas.

We typically see point totals in the mid to upper 30s during the preseason and that was the case in Week 1 with only one game above 40. However, teams didn’t comply with 12 of the 16 games combining for 40 or more points and five of them getting more than 50 points. It was a big weekend for OVER bettors with 13 games exceeding the closing total. Oddsmakers adjusted for Week 2 with five games boasting an opening total of 40 points or more. The biggest on the board is 43 points in the Monday Night Football contest between Cincinnati and Washington.

For the most part the preseason is a crapshoot with various players seeing plenty of snaps while some teams don’t even put starters in uniform. However, there’s one thing that’s been reliable over the years and that’s the Baltimore Ravens winning a lot of games. John Harbaugh consistently has his Ravens among the top teams in the AFC during the season and it starts with an attitude instilled during the exhibition slate. Harbaugh improved his preseason record to 45-17 with a 24-16 win over Indianapolis as a 6-point home underdog.

Professional football in New York, or rather New Jersey, the last several years has been ugly. The Jets are on their sixth head coach since last reaching the postseason in 2010. And during the longest current playoff drought they have just one winning season. The Giants, meanwhile, have reached the postseason twice since winning the Super Bowl in the 2011 season.

Quarterback play was an issue for both squads last year and the new faces shined last week. Russell Wilson has already been tabbed the Giants starter but that could be revisited if Jaxon Dart, Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito all play as well as they did last week. Justin Fields is the front runner to start for the Jets. He rushed for a TD in his only series in the Jets 30-10 win over Green Bay. Tyrod Taylor was out injured giving more reps to Adrian Martinez and Brady Cook, who combined to go 17 of 24 for 214 yards. The Giants opened as a 3-point favorite in the battle for New Yorsey.

Betting Rules & Policies

Free Play Rules

• Free plays cannot be used on proposition bets.
• Free Plays do not earn any BetPoints™
• Bets made using Free Plays do not count towards completing any rollovers. (Free Plays are always subject to a rollover of their own. You must complete the required rollover prior to making a withdrawal).
• The maximum payout for any Free Play is $5,000.
• Free Plays that are left unused for 180 days will be removed from your account.

ROLLOVER

• Did you know that on all deposits made at BookMaker, there is a rollover requirement: an amount of betting action you must fulfill before you are eligible to make a withdrawal.

• Did you know that rollovers are calculated by multiplying the amount initially credited to your account a certain number of times? Yes! If you deposit without claiming any bonus, the rollover will always be 1x (one-time) your deposit amount. If you do claim a deposit bonus, the rollover will be higher and is based on the deposit plus bonus amount.

Wager disputes (claims)

If you disagree with any aspect of a wager you’ve placed, you are welcome to log an official dispute (commonly known as a “claim”). Claims must be reported no later than 15 (fifteen) calendar days following the settlement of the wager.

If following an initial review of the case there remains any doubt regarding the wager type, line, market, amount, or any other detail, the claim will be escalated to the BookMaker management team. All decisions made by them are final.

Wager Cash Out - How it works

With the Cash Out feature you can choose to eliminate a wager that's already been placed, and receive back either a portion, or your full stake amount.

Cash Out is selectively available on certain events, fixtures, and markets.

In order to see if a wager is eligible to be cashed out, simply navigate to your Bet Slip and check the 'My Open Bets' tab. If eligible, the Cash Out button will be displayed.

It’s also important to note that Cash Out is not contributing to any bonus or promotion including Bet Point accumulation and Rollover for releasing bonus cash.
