In the most important week of the NFL preseason, three games will be on the wagering radar as possibilities for Friday. Every team wants to make a good showing with its first units playing, making this the closest thing to the regular season. Each team has a different agenda going into tonight, looking to accomplish what it can before the season begins. New England at Carolina will be the main game everyone can view on CBS.



Tennessee (1-1) at Buffalo (1-1)

Two young AFC quarterbacks will look to establish themselves in 2007 action in Buffalo. After being forced to sit out the first game due to team rules violation, Vince Young was not impressive against New England, 5-17 for 104 yards passing and was under heavy pressure being sacked four times. The Bills J.P. Losman has played reasonably well, completing 58 percent of his 19 attempts; however Buffalo has only mustered 23 points in two trips to the gridiron.

Tennessee used a big 20-7 second half to pull out win at New England as five point underdogs. This follows a historical pattern that has the Titans 12-3 ATS as a road underdog of seven points or less over the last fourteen years. Buffalo gave up the lead to Atlanta and lost in the second half 13-10. They will try and bounce back as 1.5-point favorites at Sportbook.com despite 10-19-1 ATS record as favorite. In the Bills favor, they are 12-3 ATS after scoring 17 points or less in two straight preseason games.




New England (0-2) at Carolina (1-1)

This nationally televised encounter should bring real entertainment value, with two large teams, size wise, butting heads and angry. New England has not lost first two games in August in years and will want to get back on winning track immediately. Carolina after a good opening effort against the Giants, were smothered by Philadelphia right from the start of the game with 24-0 blitz. Head coach John Fox undoubtedly went after his team to correct lack of readiness in last game.

The Patriots should have running back Laurence Maroney ready to go after shoulder ailment; however Randy Moss hamstring will keep him on the sidelines again. Carolina’s Jake Delhomme and David Carr know who they will be throwing to All-Pro receiver Steve Smith, but a traffic jam of wide receivers is trying to be the other starter. Keary Colbert, Drew Carter and rookie Dwayne Jarrett are all vying for the starting slot. New England has moved up to 1.5-point favorite, being 7-0 ATS off a home loss and 4-0 against the number in Week 3. Coach Fox teams have been profitable at the window with when underdogs with 8-2 ATS record.



St. Louis (1-1) at Oakland (1-1)

A pair of .500 teams will do business in Oakland, as St. Louis pays a visit. The Raiders have a three-pronged race for the starting quarterback position with Daunte Culpepper, Josh McCown and Andrew Walter all in the mix. The confounding aspect for Raiders faithful is why the number one pick in the draft JaMarcus Russell is still unsigned and not being able to show off his skills. Culpepper will get the start and appears to have the lead in the QB derby. He was the best of the three last week and can wrap up the starting position with similar results this time. If he should falter, Walter’s has played the next best, yet still made costly mistakes. The running game is unsettled with new offensive line and no running backs establishing themselves.
Running back Steven Jackson will see his most extensive work of the summer against Oakland, preparing for the home opener against Carolina. The passing game has been putting up good numbers at 257 yards a game, still the five turnovers to none has coach Scott Linehan concerned. One part of the offense Linehan has not been worried about is the development of rookie RB Brian Leonard. He doesn't do spectacular things, but rarely loses yards in the running game, and fights for extra yards. He has done well in pass protection, and will now begin getting some work as a fullback.

St. Louis has been a sorry group when favored with at 14-24 ATS record. After going four years without being a road favorite, the Rams will be again for the second time this season as a two point choice. The downside is St. Louis is 4-17 ATS after playing a game at home. The Raiders have hosted the Rams three times since 1993, winning each one and covering twice.
