Denver and Atlanta gave American football fans a first look at what the 2019 season will be like with the agonizing victory of the team led by Vic Fangio with a last-minute touchdown of Juwann Winfree.
Thursday begins a four-week preseason calendar, prior to the official start with the clash between Chicago and Green Bay on September 5. Meanwhile, there are many games to enjoy, many places to fight for and a lot of activity that can turn into profit.
In the first instance, the renewed Green Bay squad with MattLaFleur as head coach and Aaron Rodgers as the most powerful man in the franchise have a chance to talk about this season and deal with any opponent, but in the particular case of Tonight’s game, Houston starts as a potential surprise because Rodgers will play a few minutes (if he does) and the Texan stand-in (AJ McCarron) has shown more interesting things than the Green Bay stand-in, DeShone Kizer. The victory mummy of Houston is +120.
Another game worth taking into account is the one that Chicago and Carolina will play. On the one hand, the local team at Soldier Field has a young body of players that promises to transcend in the future, while the visit relies mostly on what Cam Newton can do to win games.
Therefore, in addition to the fact that Carolina’s starting quarterback does not add so many minutes, it is convenient to invest in the triumph of Chicago, with a mummy of -175.
Finally, Miami may be one of the worst teams in the League because of the holes in its squad, but its new pitchers, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Josh Rosen, have to prove things in the preseason and their previous experience forces them to consider that Florida may surprise, make the -200 mummy they have to win become effective and tip Atlanta their second preseason loss.
If in the end we consider the three previous proposals and combine them in a parlay, the mummy of +415 is good enough to play these duels or some others that have a good chance of materializing.
