Quarterback Rotations


Bet at 5Dimes

The top sports handicapping site OffshoreInsiders.com takes a look at news and notes, which includes NFL preseason quarterback rotations, plus our first look at a windfall of a college football season. All games are for Thursday action to beat the sportsbooks.

Panthers-Steelers

Carolina is expected to allow third string quarterback fight for his life and play most if not all of the second half. It is uncertain whether the Panthers will carry two or three quarterbacks. Jake Delhomme and Matt Moore are locked in as one and two.

The Steelers are expected to give a lot of playing time to backup QB Byron Leftwich to allow the newly acquired vet learn the offense. Rookie Dennis Dixon should also get a long look-see.

The Steelers starters will play about a quarter but no longer. This includes Pro Bowl safety Troy Polamalu.

Titans-Packers

Tennessee is expected to play their starters into the third quarter while Green Bay‘s first stringers will get about 10 snaps. This means the Packers will have two rookies at QB for the remainder of the game: Brian Brohm and Matt Flynn.

The Preseason Perfect Play Parlay of the Quarter Century goes Thursday. Perfect Play means an angle that is a 100 percent angle, with a minimum of 10 games. Get three Level 5 NFLX play in all for Thursday. Click now to purchase

Bears-Browns

The Bears starters will get a token appearance. Sources say Brian Urlacher and Mike Brown may not play at all.

Lions-Bills

Lions coach Rod Marinelli said a “few” starters may sit out tonight. Newly signed QB Drew Henson is expected to play about a quarter behind center for Detroit.

Patriots-NY Giants

Middling handicapper Oscar Dooley will note this is a rematch of the Super Bowl, but we don’t expect any revenge factor. New England is very deep and running back and will likely keep the ball on the ground as they decide final roster spots.

Bengals-Colts

Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer is out. However both RB Rudi Johnson and WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh are expected to get their first snaps of the preseason. Often confused head coach Marvin Lewis is not sure how much each will play. WR Chad Johnson is not expected to play.

Vikings-Cowboys

Minnesota is not expected to play starters on either side of the ball. Neither of their top two QB Tarvaris Jackson or Gus Frerotte is expected to play. That means two big question marks will play tonight: struggling rookie John David Booty and journeyman Brooks Bollinger.

The Pokes starters are expected to play little if any, including playboy Tony Romo, who is unlikely to suit up. In fact, third-string QB Richard Bartel is expected to play the whole game.

Jets-Eagles

Starting QB for the Jets, Brett Favre, are not expected to play at all. However, the Eagles may actually play their starters as head coach Andy Reid claims he’s undecided. History says they won’t play according to Cy McCormick of MasterLockLine.com

Jaguars-Redskins

Jacksonville will likely play their starters one or two series. New head coach Jim Zorn reports that he will play the Redskins starters so they can get in a groove for the regular season.
