Week 3 of the NFL Preseason begins Thursday night, and this is the final week before real games begin. Some teams will start to get regular players on the field more in games, as they prepare for the regular season.
There are plenty of ways to bet on the NFL Preseason Week 3 games, including making over/under picks. Here are five of the best total bets to make this week.
Green Bay Packers vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Best Bet: Over 36 Points
A pair of Super Bowl contenders meet up in Kansas City on Thursday night when the Chiefs host the Green Bay Packers. Neither of these teams will have their biggest stars on the field much for this match-up, but these are still two teams that love to score points.
Both teams are 1-1 up to this point. But the Packers and Chiefs have much bigger goals than winning games in the preseason. This should be a game that features plenty of offense and this over/under line feels too low.
Take the over 36 points in an exciting game at Arrowhead Stadium.
Seattle Seahawks vs. Dallas Cowboys
Seahawks vs. Cowboys Prediction
Best Bet: Over 40 Points
The 0-2 Seattle Seahawks visit the 1-1 Dallas Cowboys in week 3 of the preseason. This has the potential to be a high-scoring affair if you look at past results for each team.
Seattle has been a mess on defense to this point, as they are allowing close to 30 points per game. Dallas had a big offensive game week 2 and this could be another opportunity for them to score some points.
Take the over 40 points, as there will be plenty of offense in this one.
Chicago Bears vs. Cleveland Browns
Bears vs. Browns Prediction
Best Bet: Under 38.5 Points
The Chicago Bears are a perfect 2-0 so far in the preseason and they’ll try to run the table as they visit the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland is 1-1 so far and the Browns have had a very interesting offseason.
Chicago has looked sharp on the offensive end so far. But they are facing a great defensive team in the Browns. Cleveland is not going to be a great offensive team. They will try to slow this game down.
Take the under 38.5 points as this will be a defensive slugfest.
Arizona Cardinals vs. Tennessee Titans
Cardinals vs. Titans Prediction
Best Bet: Under 37.5 Points
The Arizona Cardinals have been putting up points in the preseason. The Tennessee Titans have been showing off the defense. Both teams enter week 3 with a 1-1 record while getting it done in different ways.
Arizona is going to want to figure some things out on defense this week. And that will be their main focus. Tennessee is going to be a defensive-minded team all season long and that will be the same strategy they use in this one.
Take the under 37.5 as points will be hard to come by in Nashville.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Indianapolis Colts
Buccaneers vs. Colts Prediction
Best Bet: Over 40 Points
Both the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Indianapolis Colts are 0-2 so far in the preseason. A lack of defense has done both teams in. One of these teams is going to find a way to win this game. You should expect some points in this one.
The Buccaneers are not expected to play Tom Brady in this matchup. But the Colts are going to play some starters. The offenses should have the advantage in this game. And that will lead to some points.
Take the over 40 as it will take at least 28 points to win this game.
