"You know that scene at the beginning of each episode of "The Simpsons" where Bart writes on the chalkboard? In that respect, "Never Fade John Harbaugh in the NFL preseason" should have been a Bart-ism. But maybe just with the Ravens," SportsLine expert Matt Severance said. "Harbaugh went an astounding 47-17 SU & ATS in exhibition games with them but is 0-1 with his new Giants team after a 13-10 home loss last week to Minnesota. I'm not going to sit here and say a "trap" game exists in the preseason, either, but the annual finale vs. the Jets is next week. Who wants to go play a meaningless game in the scorching heat of South Florida? Trust me, I'm here and I don't want to be right now. Meanwhile, first-year Fins coach Jeff Hafley probably would like to get that first W." Bet the Dolphins at DraftKings here and claim $150 in bonus bets after your first $5 wager as a new user :
"I never really understand why a home team gets points in a preseason game," Severance said. "Yes, I am aware that Chicago is 11-2-1 in its past 14 preseason games and hasn't lost one since 2023. Cincinnati is 3-11-1 in its past 15. So what? The Bears have been crushed by injuries already, so I expect Ben Johnson to be very cautious. Backup QB Tyson Bagent didn't even make the trip, so we'll probably see a little Case Keenum and then a lot of Miller Moss. Never thought I'd mention Miller Moss again. The Bengals played their starters a bit in Week 1 and prevailed, but won't here." Bet the Bengals at DraftKings here and claim $150 in bonus bets after your first $5 wager as a new user :
The Pirates won five of seven games entering this Dodgers' series and turn to Jared Jones on Saturday. Jones held the Red Sox to one run in five innings on Saturday in his last start. The Dodgers certainly have an edge on the mound with back-to-back Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal getting the start, but the Dodgers are 1-2 in his three starts, and their one victory came by one run. The Dodgers lost three of four games before sweeping the Rockies, but two of those wins came in either a one-run final or an extra-inning contest. The model projects the Pirates to compete, winning or losing by one run in 63% of simulations.
