New York Giants @ Detroit Lions
In this opener, expect to see mostly backups and young players on both sides, with the Giants’ deep wide receiver room taking the spotlight. The Lions’ starters got practice against the Giants this week, potentially mitigating the need for them to play extensively. The Giants’ offense, showcasing veterans and rookies, might have the upper hand against the Lions’ defense.
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
With Tom Brady retired, Buccaneers’ quarterback competition heats up as Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask take the field. Both have something to prove, which could lead to an exciting game, potentially favoring the Over (39) bet. Receivers like Russell Gage and Deven Thompkins could shine, and Trask’s presence might further push the Over.
Green Bay Packers @ Cincinnati Bengals
Jordan Love and starters might play briefly, but points could flow later in the game. The Bengals’ backup quarterback competition between Trevor Siemian and Jake Browning could impact the game’s tempo. Cincinnati’s edge on defense and the potential for late scoring could make them favorable against the spread.
Atlanta Falcons @ Miami Dolphins
With Arthur Smith’s history of limiting starters’ preseason play, the Falcons might lean on Logan Woodside as their quarterback. Miami, led by Tua Tagovailoa, could showcase more starters. Miami’s stronger lineup and home-field advantage could lead to a victory, but backups could see significant action as well.
Washington Commanders @ Cleveland Browns
The Commanders’ improved offense and a chance to test themselves against Deshaun Watson offer intrigue. Cleveland’s Deshaun Watson is set to play, adding spice to the game. Washington’s quarterback competition between Jacoby Brissett and Sam Howell adds another layer, making this matchup worth watching.
Denver Broncos @ Arizona Cardinals
Backup quarterbacks take center stage, with Denver’s Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci facing off against Arizona’s Colt McCoy and David Blough. The Cardinals’ projected weak defense and Denver’s capable backups suggest a higher-scoring game. This matchup could provide plenty of offensive action late in the game.
