NFL Preseason News and Notes

Here are news and notes from the standpoint of pointspread investors. Information is from the private clipboard of the OffshoreInsiders.com sports handicappers and sports betting services.

Redskins-Jaguars

Mike Godsey, the top professional football betting analyst reports that the Redskins will have key players on the field longer than most teams to in the preseason finale. Quarterback Jason Campbell, third year player, but first year starter, will see his most extensive time of the preseason. Oft-injured running back Clinton Portis is also expected to see his first snaps of exhibition play.

Cowboys-Vikings

Over/under bettors, note that the Cowboys do have a big battle for the No. 3 QB position.  Look for Matt Moore and Richard Bartel to be given a chance to air it out.

Chiefs-Rams

Chief’s starting quarterback Damon Huard will not play at all as he’s nursing a sore calf.  Veteran tackle Kyle Turley will play despite missing practice Tuesday for personal reasons.

Cardinals-Broncos

The Cardinals will play their starters on each side of the ball for one or two series. Denver backup signal caller Patrick Ramsey, an experienced starter, will get little or no playing time.  Preston Parsons and Darrell Hackney will get most of the playing time at center.  They have four completions combined this preseason.

49ers-Chargers

Cy McCormick, who is on the “winners list” of most online sportsbooks, reports that San Francisco’s starting units for each side of the ball will play 12 snaps or the entire first quarter, whichever comes first.

Bills-Lions

Buffalo’s starters will play two series at the most. J.P. Losman will get the start at QB, Craig Nall will also play a series or two than rookie Trent Edwards goes the rest of the way. Cornerback Terrence McGee is out and wise receiver Lee Evens is very unlikely to play.
