Betting NFL Preseason Action Colts at Packers Week 3 Odds
If you’re looking for outstanding QB play in a betting NFL preseason game you’re not likely to find a better matchup than the Indianapolis Colts versus the Green Bay Packers on Thursday, August 26th. Colts’ QB Peyton Manning is quickly re-writing the NFL record books with his outstanding play at the position and is without a doubt the best signal caller in the league.
Aaron Rodgers has quickly played his way out from under the legendary Brett Favre’s shadow and established himself as one of the best QBs in the league alongside Manning.
When these two players square off on Thursday you can expect plenty of offensive action and plenty of pity for their teams’ pass defenses. Kickoff for this Thursday matchup is set for 8:05 Eastern Time and sbg global.com opened with the as a 2.5-point favorite.
As this is the third NFL betting lines matchup of the preseason for both teams we should see extended playing time for the starting units as this is a close to a dress rehearsal for the regular season as sports betting fans are going to see.
For Indy, there are still some question marks surrounding the WRs, not so much about the quality, but rather who will start opposite of Reggie Wayne and who the starting slot receiver will be. Last year WRs Austin Collie and Pierre Garcon came on strong and with Anthony Gonzales returning from injury the Colts have an abundance of receiver depth. On defense the Colts are likely to try and get their starting rotation up front established and if the team’s sack masters can stay healthy this team just might have the best pass rush in football.
The Packers are one of the NFC teams favored to go the Super Bowl and with good reason. Rodgers has turned this offense into one of the most prolific in the NFL and the defense is solid top ten units with great pass coverage and run stopping ability. Not a lot of question marks for this team on either side of the ball.
This is potential Super Bowl match and even though it’s just a preseason matchup there is plenty that a football betting fan can take away from this game for the regular season betting.
