Chicago Bears vs. Indianapolis Colts Pick Prediction 8/24/2019
Bears at Colts—Free pick is Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears under the total of 38 points. Under head coach Matt Nagy the team has no desire to win in the preseason to stay healthy for the preseason. He told the media that the starters won’t play on Saturday. Mitchell Trubisky has not thrown a pass in the preseason and it wouldn’t bother Nagy if he didn’t throw any until the regular season. He mentioned he wants no scratches to his defense when they line up against Green Bay in Week 1 on a Thursday night. Colts head coach Frank Reich reported to the media that he will also not play starters on Saturday against the Bears. With the injury to Andrew Luck that means a lot of Philip Walker at quarterback for Indianapolis. Chicago has averaged 208 yards per game in the preseason while the Colts offense averaging only 17 points. Play Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears under 38 points.
New Orleans Saints vs. New York Jets Pick Prediction 8/24/2019
Saints at Jets—NFL pick is New Orleans Saints -3. Week Three dress rehearsal game for the Saints. Drew Brees will see his only action in the preseason in this spot. There is depth in the backup spot for New Orleans with Teddy Bridgewater and Taysom Hill. Jets are dealing with many injuries on defense and wouldn’t be surprised if New York head coach Adam Gase pulls the starters early in this game. Jets offense has not been impressive in the preseason averaging only 242 yards per game running for only 3 yards per carry on an average 27.5 rushes per game. Behind Sam Darnold are Trevor Siemian, Luke Falk and Davis Webb. Prefer the Saints depth at quarterback and playmaker positions. Not much home field advantage in the preseason.
