NFL preseason picks: Rams over 16.5 points and Panthers with the points against Bills
Well, the first set of preseason games that I bet didn’t exactly go as planned.I had one win and two losses.
The losses were interesting.I was WAY off about the Packers and Steelers game, with the Packers scoring only nine points in the contest.
The Cardinals and Raiders put on a show, as expected, but I missed the best of the number and lost on the over.I had 41.5 and the total hit right at 41.
Looks like I am in preseason form for NFL betting as well.Let’s try to get a little back here as there are some fun games to look forward to.Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid gestures during the first half of the team's NFL wild-card playoff football game against the Miami Dolphins Saturday, Jan.

As it stands, we just have to deal with the preseason and enjoy whoever takes the field.There is very little chance that Matthew Stafford sees any work in this game, and probably doesn’t see it in almost any preseason game, with the exception of perhaps the third or fourth game.
It is a bit shocking that Patrick Mahomes is even in a conversation for him to play again, but he won’t be out there either.So that leaves backups.RAMS MAKE SURPRISE FIRST-ROUND MOVE, TAKE ALABAMA QB TY SIMPSONStetson Bennett and Ty Simpson will see the bulk of work, and with them battling for the backup position, I think they will both do well.
Justin Fields is the new Chiefs backup, and he should be interesting with the Andy Reid offense.I’m not sure how long he will play, but I’d like to see him get a quarter of action.
I’ll back the over 16.5 points for the Rams.I think they have more than enough weapons and very motivated quarterbacks.Then-Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady stands next to quarterback Josh Allen (17) before a game against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field on Oct.
