The early Colts vs. Lions betting preview is in the free pick and articles section of OffshoreInsiders.com. All the NFL picks needed for week three preseason NFL betting are up.

Ravens vs. Panthers

Carolina‘s top two running backs are hurt. Jonathan Stewart is doubtful, but DeAngelo Williams is probable. They combined for the highest total yards for teammates in the last 24 years.

Panthers top WR Steve Smith is a game time decision. LB Thomas Davis is questionable.

Titans vs. Browns

Tennessee is averaging just 2.8 yards per carry in three preseason games. The longest run was from the backup punter on a fake punt. DE Jevon Kearse and David Stewart are doubtful. Out for the Titans are Ryan Mouton, Jason Jones, and Nate Washington.

Depending on the ebb and flow of the game, Titans backup QB Vince Young should get snaps with the first team offense, which will play through the first half. Third stringer Patrick Ramsey is questionable.

Titans head coach Jeff Fisher will work on the run game. Starting WR Nate Washington is out, meaning rookie Kenny Britt, their first-round pick gets the start. Britt missed a week of training camp and the opener, but has six receptions in Tennessee‘s last two games. Remember the Titans have an extra game under their belt, having played in the Hall-of-Fame game.

Starting LB Stephen Tulloch is expected to see his first action of the preseason. Perennial Pro C Kevin Mawae is again out, but should play next week.

Nobody on Cleveland has stepped up and won the starting receiving spot vacated by the suspension to Dante’ Stallworth.

Cleveland head coach Eric Mangini is not expected to name his starting QB until an hour before gametime, though it will likely be Brady Quinn says Bob Warner of Lines-Maker.com, one of the top NFL betting experts in America. Neither Quinn nor Derek Anderson has thrown a TD in preseason. 

Top expert pick on this game: The first ever PERFECT PLAY in the history of NFLX goes Saturday and it’s on an over/under. Yes it’s the biggest NFLX release in sports gambling history.

A Perfect Play means an angle that is a 100 percent angle with a minimum of 12 games. However, not all 12-0 or better stats automatically qualify as a Perfect Play depending on counter information and the time period the perfect stat applies. NOTE THIS IS A NEW definition upon review.

The Great One is 11-1 the last 12 overall and 10-4 in NFLX so far. The full-season pass has more than paid for itself already for dime bettors with couple thousand dollars to spare. Get three NFLX, two are Level 5, plus a pro baseball Level 5. Click now to purchase 

Bills vs. Steelers

Buffalo WR Terrell Owens is out. RB Fred Jackson is questionable. Jackson is supposed to be the starter while Marshawn Lynch serves a three-game suspension to start the regular season. Hence if he does not play, Buffalo will be very thin in the running game.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger will play and his minor foot injury will not limit him in any way. Steelers starters will get their most extensive playing time, going about a half. Third string QB Dennis Dixon, who was pushing Charlie Batch for the backup job, is out, That leaves the Steelers with three QBs, the third being little used Mike Reilly, a Division II rookie.

For the Steelers RBs: Willie Parker is questionable, but either way Rashard Mendenhall, who missed almost all of last year, will get a lot of work. Mewelde Moore will get his first action of the preseason. Also questionable for the Super Bowl Champs WR Santonio Holmes, K Jeff Reed, and DT Steve McClendon.

Pittsburgh is 5-2 straight up lifetime in NFLX action to Buffalo, winning all three home games.

Chargers vs. Falcons

The Falcons will play most of their starters for the first half. Backup QB Chris Redman is expected to play most of the second half.

It’s a good chance for Atlanta to practice against a 3-4 defense as three of their first four regular season foes use that alignment.

San Diego RG Kynan Forney made no bones that he is fired up to face a Falcon team that cut him after he started 88 games for them. He is in a dual with rookie Louis Vasquez for the starting nod.

Saints vs. Raiders

Oakland WR Javon Walker is back practicing. He is much needed for a very inexperienced receiving corps. Chaz Schilens was developing as the go-to receiver but will miss the first four weeks of the regular season with an injury.

The Saints RB rotation: Mike Bell and Lynell Hamilton in the first half and P.J. Hill and Herb Donaldson in the second half. New Orleans Reggie Bush is questionable. DB Darren Sharper will probably be held out.

Oakland‘s passing game has made strides in training camp. Oakland‘s starters will play the entire first half and possibly into the third quarter. Jeff Garcia will come in after JaMarcus Russell.

Seahawks vs. Chiefs

Seattle is now minus three offensive line starters: C Chris Spencer, nine-time Pro Bowler Walter Jones is out at LT and LG Mike Wahle was releases at the start of training camp when he failed a physical. This is extra important as QB Matt Hasselbeck is returning after missing nine games last year with an injured back.

The Seahawks running game is in disarray. Veteran Edgerrin James was just signed Wednesday. Fellow veteran RB T.J. Duckett was cut to make room. Another vet Julius Jones has missed significant practice time.

Kansas City traded a draft pick to get two much needed offensive linemen from Miami: Andy Alleman, and Ikechuku Ndukwe. Both are expected to play Saturday and battle for wide open spots at RG and RT. KC’s offensive line starters struggled greatly against Minnesota.

Ndukwe started 15 games last year, while Alleman played in 15 games and started in the playoffs.

Cowboys WR Roy Williams is questionable.

Time for you online betting fans to build the perfect sports Saturday. Surely you’ll be throwing down wagers on the UFC 102 odds at night. How about betting on some ballgames in the afternoon? Let’s try a two-game parlay.

Atlanta Braves @ Philadelphia Phillies

Saturday, August 29, 7:05 p.m. ET

Derek Lowe (12-8, 4.48) vs Cliff Lee (5-0, 0.68)

If you’ve done your homework, you’ll know that Derek Lowe loves pitching against the Phillies. He’s 5-1 in his career against them with a 2.64 ERA. However, as good as Lowe is, those numbers pale in comparison to what Cliff Lee has done for the Phillies since arriving at the trade deadline. In five starts with Philadelphia, Lee is 5-0 with a 0.68 ERA, a complete-game shutout, an 11-strikeout performance, a 0.75 WHIP, no homers allowed and a .175 opponents’ average. Just unbelievable. Forget what you knew or didn’t know about Cliff Lee; he’s as untouchable now as he was at the start of his 2008 Cy Young season. Bet on Philadelphia.

Betting services recommend: Phillies

Colorado Rockies @ San Francisco Giants

Saturday, August 29, 9:05 p.m. ET

Jason Marquis (14-8, 3.47) vs Barry Zito (8-11, 4.09)

Here’s another more-than-meets-the-eye matchup. It seems logical to bet on the Rockies whenever they send Jason Marquis to the hill this season. The All-Star is 8-4 on the road this season and has a 2.74 ERA over two starts against the Rockies. However, if you look closer, you’ll see that Barry Zito and the Giants are superior baseball picks Saturday night.

Over two starts against Colorado in ’09, Barry Zito has tossed 13 scoreless innings. Proof that those numbers aren’t a fluke; Zito has a 2.06 ERA since the All-Star break. For whatever reason, the enigmatic lefty has rediscovered his past dominance. You may as well ride it while it lasts.

Betting services recommend: Giants

The Green Bay Packers take on the Arizona Cardinals in preseason action. Green Bay is 2-0 straight up while Arizona is 0-2. The Red Birds are -3.5 at every sportsbook with a total of 41.

Arizona‘s high powered offense has scored just one touchdown and it was in mop-up time with fourth string QB Tyler Palko. Rookie Beanie Wells is expected to finally play. However, they will be without two of their top three receivers in Anquan Boldin and Steve Breaston.

Green Bay‘s backup QB are terrible as Matt Flynn and Brian Brohm may be replaced by somebody not yet in their roster. Flynn is fact won’t even play tonight as he’s hurt.

The Packers two wins were against Cleveland and Buffalo, the latter minus their star offseason acquisition Terrell Owens.

For those into trends, Green Bay has exceeded the total in 7-of-9 preseason contests. Arizona is 3-7 against the spread under Ken Whisenhunt.

Top expert pick on this game: The MasterLockLine has a volcanic sports betting service. They are on pace for the greatest preseason ever recorded by the MasterLockLine going back to the 976 scorephone days. The top NFLX service this year is 15-2 including 6-0 with Champagne plays.

The New England Patriots play at the Washington Redskins. Most sportsbooks have New England laying 3.5 though SportsBook has they at -3 and -130. The total is 37-37.5. 

No team has been tested more than the Redskins who play New England after taking on Baltimore and Pittsburgh. New England is very deep on the defensive line. Redskins QB Jason Campbell completed just 1-of-7 passes last game against the Steelers. The first team offense has not scored a touchdown in the preseason.

The first team offense will play at least the first half for the Skins. CB Carlos Rogers is out for the team with the politically incorrect nickname.

New England starters are expected to play some in the third quarter. Tom Brady is 14-of-23 for 157 yards, two touchdowns and an interception since returning from torn anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments.

New England head coach Bill Belichick used this week to simulate a regular season game as far as preparing for a foe. They reviewed scouting reports, watched game film, etc.

Top expert pick on this game: A true superstar is sports handicapping, Stevie Vincent has both the side and total on this contest. Those who jumped on Stevie’s full season pass are already seeing dividends. Each year he gets better and better and is already 8-4 including three straight wins. Jacksonville and the Tampa game under last night, plus his Monday Night NFLX GAME of the YEAR on the Jets the latest.
