Miami Dolphins @ Cincinnati Bengals | 8/29 | 4 PM ET
Dolphins -1.5
The Dolphins offense looked outstanding against a lower-tier Falcons defense without much depth last week, and I expect more of the same in this matchup. The Miami defense, on the other hand, has played well in the first half in both their games so far, while the Bengals offense has had trouble reaching the end zone, even when set up with short fields due to turnovers. I don't expect many points on the Cincinnati side, so Miami should be able to put this one away by the fourth quarter and keep us from a sweat.

CLEVELAND BROWNS @ ATLANTA FALCONS | 8/29 | 8 PM ET
Falcons +6
The Browns have rested most of their starters this preseason but are still 2-0 after playing a pair of bad offenses in their first two games. I expect them to largely continue to rest key players in the final preseason game, and even though their backups can put up points on a bad Falcons defense, I think Atlanta keeps this one close by playing their starters in the first half. Why? They've yet to see preseason action, but unlike in Cleveland, the Falcons have a new coaching staff in place, and I believe they'll look to get game reps for the ones before the season starts. That should make the beginning of this game more competitive, and I'd definitely favor taking Atlanta in the first half here.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Dallas Cowboys | 8/29 | 1 PM
Jaguars -3
The Jags and rookie coach Urban Meyer are trying — real hard — to snare a preseason win. They unleashed 58 passes Monday at New Orleans and nearly erased a hefty deficit in a 23-21 loss. The rushing game was non-existent, so expect more balanced play-calling as Meyer seeks to notch a victory before the task gets more difficult in games that count. The Cowboys could care less about the outcome. They are 0-3 and were out-gained substantially in two defeats. (The third was a wash.) Four players and an assistant coach recently were added to the Covid-19 list while QB Dak Prescott continues to sit, all of which is of greater concern than the result of an exhibition game

Rotation #927-928
Brewers/Twins Over 9.5 runs
Ashby/Jax
Today’s game will showcase two young pitchers. Aaron Ashby gets the start for Brewers. Ashby only has 8 MLB innings under his belt, but he already has been high in his walks much like he was in the minors. More walks at this level means more runs. Griffin Jax starts for the Twins. Jax gives up a lot o homeruns and walks his fair share of batters as well. The wind is blowing out which should make for a few homeruns. Take the Over.
