Lions Vs Steelers Preseason Betting Preview
Will Big Ben Play Tonight? Expect the betting odds to tick up a hair if Tomlin says he is getting some snaps.
The big question for the Pittsburgh Steelers going into their preseason opener against the Detroit Lions is, will we see QB Ben Roethlisberger?  Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin refused to comment on whether or not the troubled signal caller will play, but his team will still enter the game as home favorites at -3 on the NFL point spread regardless.  Unlike his predecessor Bill Cowher, Tomlin has been an outstanding coach in the preseason with a 10-3 career mark.

Bears Vs Chargers Preseason Game Preview
Brian Urlacher and the Bears at +3 are Maddux's Free NFL Pick for Today

It is easy to get excited about new QB Donovan McNabb if you are a Washington Redskins fan, but the bigger move by the team in the offseason was bringing in head coach Mike Shanahan and GM Bruce Allen to restructure the organization from the bottom up.  Shanahan brings a winning attitude as a two-time Super Bowl champion with the Denver Broncos to the favored Redskins (-3) against the Buffalo Bills in their opener on Friday and owns one of the most impressive preseason records of any active coach at 41-19.

Matt Ryan Atlanta Falcons
Maddux's Free NFL Pick is on the Under 34.5 in tonight's contest
Who will look more like the New England Patriots in 2010, the Atlanta Falcons or the Kansas City Chiefs?  The favored Falcons (-3) may not have a direct connection to the Patriots, but they have more players who seem to resemble the three-time Super Bowl champions going into Friday’s preseason opener against the Chiefs.  Future Hall of Fame TE Tony Gonzalez will also face his former team for the first time since a trade sent him from Kansas City for Atlanta less than two years ago.

Jaguars Vs Eagles Preseason Odds
Mike Vick is one of the 3 philly QBs making the depth at that position warrant NFL odds of -3
The Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars both have a lot to prove going into their preseason opener on Friday, but for different reasons.  The NFL odds makers have the Eagles as home favorites of -3 and begin the Kevin Kolb era at quarterback after he replaced Donovan McNabb in the offseason.  Kolb became the only QB in NFL history to throw for more than 300 yards in his first two starts for Philly last year when he filled in for an injured McNabb, but this year he will be saddled with even higher expectations in trying to replace a legend.
