2009 NFL Preseason Week 2 (SAT)

Tampa Bay vs Jacksonville (-3, 34) 7:30 PM ET
This is the second straight road game for the Bucs as they fell to the Titans last week 20-27. Jacksonville stayed within in 3pts of Miami in their first preseason game 9-12. Both teams will look to put up more points this week. The OVER is 5-2-1 in Jacksonville's home games where the line is 34pts or less since 1995. In addition these two teams have gone OVER in all of their last 4 meetings.

We like.....OVER (34)

Pittsburgh vs Washington (-2', 33) 7:30 PM ET
I personally think that Vegas is tipping their hand with this one. After last week, there's no way in the world I lay points with the Redskins...I don't care where they're playing. I don't care that Big Ben is not playing. That only means more time for veteran backup QB Charlie Batch and the next NFL QB sensation from Oregon, Dennis Dixon.

We like.....PIT (+2')
We like.....UNDER (33)

Carolina vs Miami (-2', 33') 7:30 PM ET
Don't know why but I really like Carolina in this spot. They too, like the Bucs, are playing in their 2nd straight road game in this preseason. QB Delhomme should get more time this week. This team was able to put up 17pts against a NY Giant defense on the road.

We like.....OVER (33')

Detroit vs Cleveland (-3', 38) 7:30 PM ET
Both teams have a lot to prove this upcoming season, however Detroit has a greater sense of urgency after a winless regular season. Cleveland scored NO points last week. Vegas seems to have taken this into account since the TOTAL is resonably high for this type of game.

We like.....DET (+3')
