Baseball has 16-game schedule to review on Saturday, but sports bettors want to whet their appetite with some NFL preseason appetizers. Three games stand out on the gridiron and we delve into the what and why’s of Line Moves. Take a gander at the Bonus info, with a couple NFL nuggets.

NFL- Pittsburgh at N.Y. Giants 7:00 EDT

This is one of those crazy line moves you see during the NFL preseason, as Pittsburgh opened as conventional three point road underdogs and swiftly went to three point favorites once it was confirmed Eli Manning was not going to play. Yesterday the Steelers went to four at most wagering outlets and today it has been a feeding frenzy with Pittsburgh up to unfathomable SIX POINTS. The Steelers might well be good wager with two extra days between contests and the G-Men 12-27 ATS playing with six or less days rest, however that is a lot points to give this time of year for an exhibition game.

MLB- Toronto at Boston 7:10 EDT RSN, NESN

Toronto brought out the heavy lumber and brutalized Jon Lester and Boston 16-2 Friday night. Those following the sports betting odds believe the Red Sox will bounce back and have moved them from -129 on the money line to -142 or higher. Boston is trying to chase down the Yankees and Blue Jays for playoff berth and turn to Daisuke Matsuzaka (8-4, 4.17 ERA). The Japanese right-hander has been money for Red Sox backers with 6-0 record (3.79 ERA) and Boston has won his last nine starts versus the Blue Jays. The BoSox need a good effort from Dice-K after their pitchers were knocked around for 20 base hits. Boston is only 9-13 at Fenway Park against division opponents this season; however the Red Sox and Matsuzaka are 30-13 in night games the last three seasons.

NFL- N.Y. Jets at Carolina 8:00 EDT

This matchup isn’t so much about the end result, but what happened in the middle. Carolina was 1.5-point home favorite last Tuesday morning and by Thursday were 1.5 or 2-point underdogs. The story in the New York papers and blogs has Rex Ryan not playing is regulars a great deal, since they just played on Monday and an avalanche of money has come piling back towards the Panthers, now a one-point choice to win. With the total listed at 34, it is at least worth noting the Jets are 10-1 ATS in a road game where the total is between 32.5 and 35 points.

NFL – Houston at New Orleans 8:00 EDT CBS

Most online sports wagering football bettors are aware coach Gary Kubiak is 7-2 ATS in last nine road contests in August and 7-0 OVER if the visitor in non-conference clash. New Orleans is just 2-6 ATS in previous eight home assignments. As witnessed in a complimentary football newsletters, Super Bowl champions are indifferent this week of the preseason campaign, with 6-12-1 record and horrendous 3-16 spread mark. No wonder the Saints are down to a single point favorite after beginning at -2.5.
