Bad news: the preseason isn't over yet. Good news: it only last three games now (unless you played in the Hall of Fame Game, in which case you have four). The Las Vegas Raiders were one of those HOF participants and they are headed into game number four on Friday with a perfect 3-0 record. Friday's schedule also features the Buffalo Bills, Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots.
Here is a look at the three components of this Week 3 opening parlay.
For this play we are going with one favorite against the spread and two unders. Let's break down each of the three legs one by one.
Buffalo Bills vs Panthers Under 40
Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule named Baker Mayfield the starting quarterback earlier this week. Now that the competition with Sam Darnold is over, there is no need to see either one of them in another preseason game. At most Darnold may be on the field for a series or two. The Panthers are coming off a 10-point effort in a loss at New England last weekend and there isn't any reason to expect much more than that in this contest. After, Buffalo's defense so stacked that even the backups can handle Carolina's offense. Heck, the Bills might even be able to handle Carolina's . Head coach Sean McDermott has already said that his starters – or at least most of them – will be on the bench, so that means no Josh Allen in this game. All signs point toward an under play.
