NFL Preseason Week 3 Best Bets - Football Lines

It’s hard to believe but Week 3 of the NFL Preseason is already upon us meaning the start of another campaign and the grueling journey to the Super Bowl is right around the corner. With that in mind we’re unlikely to see a lot of starters take the field when the betting week opens with a pair of games on Thursday. The final week of the exhibition season has always been a get-it-over-and-don’t-get-hurt scenario, which even holds true for teams with high-profile position battles. Those situations involve the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts, who are both looking for a starter for Week 1 of the regular season.

Though the Browns have named veteran Joe Flacco as their starter there is a battle for the backup spot and the future of the position. Cleveland has long been a black hole for quarterbacks, which is probably why the club selected a pair of signal callers in the most recent draft. Maybe they can get it right with one of them. And both have looked good this preseason with third-round pick Dillon Gabriel leading three scoring drives and throwing for 149 yards in a Week 2 win over Philadelphia. Fifth-rounder Shedeur Sanders tossed a pair of scoring passes to help beat Carolina in the preseason opener. And we haven’t even mentioned former first-round pick Kenny Pickett, who’s been sidelined with an injury.

Along with the Browns, who face the Rams in a battle of preseason unbeatens on Saturday, a few other teams have stood out. Outscoring their opponents by 41 points, the Broncos are arguably the best team this preseason. Jarrett Stidham continued his mastery going 16 of 23 for 240 yards with a pair of TDs in Denver’s 27-7 win over Arizona. The Giants are looking to turn their fortunes around with coach Brian Daboll on the hot seat. Jaxson Dart was 14 of 16 for 137 yards with a passing and rushing TD in the win over the Jets, his second strong outing pushing starter Russell Wilson. In a situation like in Cleveland, the Giants are looking toward the future while attempting to patch the present.

NFL Preseason Week 3 Betting Lines

For the second week in a row the Rams are the biggest underdog on the preseason betting board catching 6-points in their matchup with Cleveland. They got a last second scoring pass from Stetson Bennett to beat the Chargers, 23-22, in Week 2 as a 7-point closing dog and they were getting 1.5-points in the preseason opener beating Dallas outright 31-21. Sean McVay sits his starters during the preseason and the Rams have routinely been underdogs. They have earned payouts in each of their last five preseason games while winning four of those games outright.

With a lot of backups expected to see action in Week 3, the point totals have dropped. In Week 2 four games had a closing total of 40 or more points with the UNDER cashing in three of them. Week 3 opened with no game reaching the 40-point total level. The highest total on the board was 39.5 points for the Colts at Bengals contest on Saturday. Friday’s contest between the Bears and Chiefs reached a total of 39 points. The Bears saw what they needed to in their win over Buffalo on Sunday with Caleb Williams leading a 92-yard touchdown drive on his first series of the preseason. Chicago won the game 38-0 giving fans hope that new coach Ben Johnson can turn the offense around. Johnson had plenty of success on that side of the football during his tenure as offensive coordinator in Detroit with the Lions boasting one of the most prolific offenses in the game the last two seasons.

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.
