Friday Night NFL

Friday NFL

This is the last night of NFL preseason before the real thing kicks off. The Question is there any value?



Trends for Tonight

Baltimore at Atlanta, 7:30 EST

Baltimore: 9-1 Under off a non-conference game
Atlanta: 6-11 ATS off a home win

Indianapolis at Cincinnati, 7:30 EST NFL
Indianapolis: 1-5 ATS off BB home games
Cincinnati: 8-0 Over off BB ATS losses

These last games will be all about what teams still have battles and need to get a win in these games tonight or at least show the coaches they want to be a part of this team.



In Baltimore the falcons try to move ahead and finally forget about Mike Vick and focus on football which has not always been a problem.

Atlanta is 4-2-1 ATS in its last seven home appearances. The Falcons have zipped 'over' in six of eight outings



In Cincinnati you can expect more than a dozen starters on both sides sitting out for tonight’s games as it comes from a battle of the backups. Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said, "Our goal is to get to Sept. 10 and be the best team we can be. We've gotten some good work in this preseason. It's a matter of playing with speed and energy. Guys are competing to be guys on the back end of the roster. Our goal is Sept. 10."

Indianapolis has come up short in nine of 12 ATS. The defending champs have cashed five of their last eight on the road. Cincinnati, looking to avoid a winless preseason, has won and 'covered' four of its last five against the Colts. Four of the past five series encounters have gone 'under.' The Chicago Bears look to become the only NFL team to finish the preseason with a spotless record on Thursday when they host the upset-minded Cleveland Browns. The defending NFC champs haven't exactly crushed their opposition thus far, winning their three games by a grand total of seven points.

Pick for Friday: Colts / Bengals Over 39
