2023 NFL Preseason Odds & Picks: Patriots vs. Titans
Here are our top picks and predictions for Friday’s NFL preseason action.
Patriots vs. Titans
The Patriots get one more chance to fine-tune this offense before the season. The offense has already looked better than last year, thanks to bringing back Bill O'Brien, and you should expect to see Mac Jones and the first unit get an extended amount of time on the field. We know that Ryan Tannehill will be the starter, but who will be his backup? It comes down to their 2023 pick Will Levis, and 2022 pick Malik Willis, but at the moment, Levis is dealing with an injury and could be sidelined for the final game. Willis played the entire second preseason game and was great with his legs but underwhelming with his arms. Tannehill should play a little, but not enough to help lift the Titans past the Pats.
Pick: Patriots -2 (-110)

What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points, and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
