The Key: The Vikings are 13-1 SU & 12-2 ATS in the preseason under Mike Zimmer over the past four seasons. They have one of the better backups in the league in Case Keenum this year, and he played great in the second half against the Bills last week to lead the Vikings to victory. Look for him to be a difference-maker as Zimmer and company keep their tremendous preseason run going tonight against the Seahawks. Take Minnesota.

6* NFLX *CA$H COW* on Rams +3 The Key: Jeff Fisher likes to enter the regular season with some momentum, as evidenced by his teams going 12-4 in his last 16 Week 4 preseason games. Momentum becomes even more important here after losing Sam Bradford. I look for the St. Louis defense to step up tonight, knowing it will likely have to carry the load this season. Miami has been a poor preseason investment, going 2-9-1 ATS in all preseason games under coach Philbin. Take the Rams.

6* NFLX *CA$H COW* on Bengals +3
The Key: After coming away empty handed in their first two preseason games, look for the Bengals to step it up in this regular-season dress rehearsal. Marvin Lewis has never been skunked in the preseason as head man of the Bengals, and his squads have won at least two preseason games eight of the past 10 seasons. I expect his Bengals to find the win column here. You want to back preseason underdogs or pickems with a losing record when they are off an upset loss. Doing so has produced a 50-22 ATS mark the last 10 seasons. This system is already 3-0 ATS this preseason. Take the points.

6* NFLX *CA$H COW* on Texans +7
The Key: Denver is being overvalued following back-to-back impressive wins over the Seahawks and 49ers. The Texans are loaded with defensive talent, and I expect them to be able to slow down Denver's aerial attack by getting a great push up front. Houston has been in Denver all week practicing with the Broncos so the altitude shouldn't be an issue. The practices were very competitive and chippy, and I expect a close, competitive game tonight. You want to fade preseason home favorites that allowed three points or less in the first half last game if they are up against an opponent that's off a double-digit win. Doing so has produced a 25-7 ATS mark since 1993. This system is a perfect 7-0 ATS the last five seasons. You also want to back preseason road teams that allowed 14 points or less last game if they are up against a team that led its previous game by 14 points or more at the half. Doing so has produced a 23-5 ATS mark since 1993. This system is a perfect 5-0 ATS the last five seasons. Take the points.

7* MNF *HEAVY HITTER* on Browns +3
The Key: You want to play on preseason underdogs or pickems with a losing record that are off an upset loss. Doing so has produced a 47-22 ATS mark the last 10 seasons. You also want to fade all preseason teams when the line is +3 to -3 that allowed three points or less in the first half last game. Doing so has produced a 17-6 ATS mark the last three seasons. Cleveland's starters are expected to play about a half while Washington's starters are only expected to see around a quarter of action. In addition, Brian Hoyer and Johnny Manziel are battling for the No. 1 QB spot, and I expect the Cleveland offense to open things up to give each player a chance to shine. Take the points.

7* NFLX *HEAVY HITTER* on 49ers -4
The Key: After getting kicked 23-3 in Baltimore in their preseason opener, the 49ers will be looking for a much better performance as they make their debut in Levi's Stadium. I expect coach Jim Harbaugh to go after the "W" here in the first game in the new stadium to set the tone that this is their house. Harbaugh has taken the preseason seriously with his team going 3-1 each of the past two seasons. Denver's Week 1 preseason game was more important than it would have been because it was playing the team that it was thumped by in the Super Bowl. Week 2 will be all about evaluating talent. John Fox typically doesn't play to win in the second week of the preseason, as evidence by his 4-8 record. Harbaugh is 7-2 in Weeks 2-4 in the preseason. Lay the points.

7* NFLX Game of the Year on Texans -3
The Key: After getting embarrassed 32-0 in his first game as head coach, Bill O'Brien will make sure his team performs much better in their preseason home opener. Atlanta won its preseason opener but don't expect an encore performance. Head coach Mike Smith places no emphasis on winning in the preseason. He is 8-17 all-time in exhibition season, including 2-11 since the beginning of the 2011 season. He is also 1-5 all-time in the second week of the preseason. The Falcons don't have much after Matt Ryan in T.J. Yates and Sean Renfree, who combined to complete only 13 of 31 pass last week. Houston's QB stable of Ryan Fitzpatrick, Case Keenum and Tom Savage has the edge. This game means way more to Houston, which will be looking to gain some momentum under a new regime. Lay the points.

7* NFLX *HEAVY HITTER* on Raiders -2.5
The Key: This is a tough spot for Detroit, which hits the road with one fewer day to prepare than Oakland. I expect the Raiders to be the more motivated side after a disappointing performance in their preseason opener. Big improvement is expected in Oakland with the addition of some big-name veterans and a nice group of rookies. I expect a solid game from Matt Schaub, who has looked great in camp but underwhelmed versus Minnesota. He'll be looking to prove himself in front of the home fans. The Raiders are 3-0 SU and ATS in their last three preseason home games versus the Lions, winning these by 11.7 points on average. Also, you want to play preseason favorites after a game in which they didn't force any turnovers. Doing so has produced a 27-9 ATS mark the last five seasons. These teams were favored by 3.3 points on average and won by an average of 8.2.

7* NFLX *HEAVY HITTER* on Jaguars +4
The Key: The Bears are getting too much respect here. They are a contender with fewer starting spots up for grabs. Their focus is on roster evaluation. The Jaguars have a lot of young guys that are vying for playing time. Their QB competition especially plays in our favor. Chad Henne is expected to play the entire first half, and I look for him to be focused knowing he needs to perform well to keep the Blake Bortles talk at a minimum. Bortles has everything to gain from another strong performance. I'm not big on Jordan Palmer or Jimmy Clausen, who will continue their battle to be Jay Cutler's backup. The Jags are 17-5 ATS all-time in preseason road games played on a grass field. Take the points.

7* NFLX *HEAVY HITTER* on Titans -1
The Key: Head coach Ken Whisenhunt and the Titans enter the preseason with something to prove. Tennessee is off yet another disappointing season and Whisenhunt is out to prove he's the guy that led Arizona to the Super Bowl, not the guy that couldn't get it done without Kurt Warner. Mike McCarthy places very little emphasis on winning in the first and last weeks of the preseason, reserving the first week for evaluating those vying for backup roles. In fact, he is 4-12 in the first and last week of the preseason as Packers head man. Green Bay is 0-4 SU and ATS in its last four preseason openers. The Titans are 6-1 in their last seven preseason matchups with Green Bay, including 4-0 in their last four. Take Tennessee.
