Didn\u2019t it feel great to have the NFL back last weekend? Or at least something resembling the NFL.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be honest, once you get into the third and fourth quarters for most of these games it\u2019s involving a bunch of guys whose names you will have definitely forgotten in a months\u2019 time.<\/p>\n

For the second week of preseason, we might see a few more familiar faces take to the field after the likes of Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees all auditioned for the Olympic \u201cStanding There\u201d event.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve scoured the markets for Week 2 of the NFL Preseason and found these plays for the coming games.<\/p>\n

Washington Redskins v Cincinnati Bengals<\/div>\n
Under 41 Points @ $1.92<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

This one is summed up as one giant bag of \u2018woof\u2019 with two of the dullest sides in the NFL facing off.<\/p>\n

The good news though is it does open up the betting play of backing both of these sides to suck and not produce a single highlight.<\/p>\n

Granted, this probably won\u2019t be an A-League style 0-0 draw but it could be damn close and come down to the stones of the guy kicking the ball.<\/p>\n

Either way, if there\u2019s any sort of entertaining offensive play here it\u2019ll be better than expected.<\/p>\n

Bears to Win @ $2.15<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Tip of The Day<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Yes, it\u2019s preseason, so it\u2019s not as straightforward as some other lines but you have to wonder how the hell the Giants are favoured over the Bears.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll give you the fact Daniel Jones looked really good and he\u2019s probably going to get a bit of action here but how much?<\/p>\n

Plus, if they do opt to send Eli Manning out there, that\u2019s probably going to help the Bears more than the Giants.<\/p>\n

Take the Bears to win, they should be able to handle the guys not deemed good enough to be starters for the Giants.<\/p>\n

Tennessee Titans v New England Patriots<\/div>\n
Over 41 Points @ $1.92<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Backing the points total in any preseason game always carries a certain level of risk but it seems like we could see a few points here in Tennessee.<\/p>\n

Chances are Tom Brady and the rest of the Patriots starters will see some action early, at least for a couple of drives and they should be able to generate some points there.<\/p>\n

Plus the backups looked really impressive with rookie receiver Jakobi Meyers a standout performer and will be looking to back that up with another good showing here.<\/p>\n

While their defence managed to shut down the Lions last weekend they struggled with the Titans last season which could lead to some points on both sides.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Rams v Dallas Cowboys<\/div>\n
Rams to Win @ $2.20<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Looking through the box score of the Rams-Raiders preseason game there were a bunch of \u201cwho the hell is that\u201d reactions but I\u2019m expecting some meaningful reps for Jared Goff this weekend against the Cowboys.<\/p>\n

Dallas on the other hand will likely return serve with Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper playing, although Ezekiel Elliot is still sunning himself in Cabo which should be a warning sign for this weekend and the coming season.<\/p>\n

Neither side looked overly impressive last week but as a home dog, the Rams are a good enough bet to take here.<\/p>\n
