Ricky's 10* play on Washington Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant.

Verdict: Riverboat Ron plays to win in the preseason. |

08-29-19 | Steelers v. Panthers +4 | Top | 19-25 | Win | 100 | 29 h 42 m | Show |
Ricky’s 10* BEWARE OF DOG TOP DOG play on the Carolina Panthers. Neither team will start any of their starters here. But after going 3-0 to open the pre-season, I believe that the Steelers are definitely going to “go through the motions” today. At 1-2 though, the Panthers still have issues to work out at key positions. The verdict: These teams have played against each other every pre-season since 2003 and Pittsburgh has won the last two. The home side also plays with the added revenge factor tonight. These two key reasons, combined with the home field advantage do indeed make Carolina the correct call in this matchup in my opinion! |
|||||||
08-25-19 | Steelers v. Titans UNDER 40.5 | Top | 18-6 | Win | 100 | 35 h 32 m | Show |
Ricky’s 10* TOTAL SUPER BLOWOUT on the under Steelers/Titans. The Titans beat the Eagles in Week 1, but they came up short at home vs. the Patriots in Week 2. Overall Tennessee is 2-8 SU/ATS in its last ten in the preseason. The Titans have a bit of a QB controversy going on right now with Marcus Mariota and Ryan Tannehill. Pittsburgh is 2-0 in the preseason and 8-2 SU/ATS in its last ten. Ben Roethlisberger sees his first action of the season for Pittsburgh and last year in Week 3 vs. these very Titans he was 11 of 18 passing in the 16-6 win. The verdict: These teams employ a similar game plan, with short crossing routes combined with a bruising running game; expect that to translate into another low-scoring battle between these clubs in their 2019 Week 3 preseason contest; play the under! |
|||||||
08-24-19 | 49ers v. Chiefs -3.5 | Top | 27-17 | Loss | -105 | 36 h 47 m | Show |
Ricky’s 10* play on the KC Chiefs. San Francisco QB Jimmy Garoppolo was just one of six for zero yards and an INT in last week’s win over the Broncos. Last year Garoppolo tore his ACL at Arrow Head Stadium and I think he and the 49ers will struggle once again in this difficult road venue. Key Trends: - KC is 9-6-1 ATS in its last 14 preseason games. The verdict: The Chiefs are expected to play their starters for the entire first half and I believe that will more than enough to build an insurmountable home lead; lay the points! |
|||||||
08-23-19 | Bills v. Lions +2.5 | Top | 24-20 | Loss | -105 | 35 h 20 m | Show |
Ricky’s 10* play on the Detroit Lions. Buffalo is 2-0 in the preseason, but I think it takes a step back on the road in Week 3. The Lions won’t be lacking for motivation here obviously as they’re winless so far in the preseason. So far Josh Allen has looked good in the early going vs. vanilla defenses, but he’s going to be in for a big surprise here vs. the Lions’ starters in my opinion. The verdict: Matt Stafford is only expected to see a few snaps in this one for Detroit, leaving a big competition still for the No. 2 spot between David Fales and Josh Johnson, both of whom are going to benefit greatly today playing behind and with the first team offense. I think the Lions take this seriously and punch their first victory of the preseason; that said, grab the points! |
|||||||
08-23-19 | Browns v. Bucs UNDER 42.5 | Top | 12-13 | Win | 100 | 35 h 51 m | Show |
Ricky’s 10* play on the under Browns/Bucs. The Browns seem to be playing with a chip on their respective shoulders and I expect that momentum to be carried over in Week 3. So far Cleveland has beaten the Colts and Skins. The Bucs won 16-14 over the Dolphins in Week 1, but then fell 30-28 to the Steelers in Week 2. In last week’s win Cleveland QB Baker Mayfield was 5 of 6 for 77 yards and a TD. RB Nick Chubb is also expect to see a lot of time. But even more impressive that Cleveland’s offense to this point has been its defense, conceding only 14.0 PPG. The verdict: Tampa QB’ Jameis Winston was just 2 of 4 for 24 yards in last week’s loss. The defense though struggled, allowing three passing TD’s to the Steelers. I think Tampa struggles to put any points on the board and I look for Cleveland to dominate throughout all three phases; play the under! |
|||||||
08-22-19 | Redskins -2.5 v. Falcons | Top | 19-7 | Win | 100 | 32 h 38 m | Show |
Ricky’s 10* play on the Washington Redskins. Both teams have plenty of issues. The Redskins though are still looking to solidify their No. 1 QB and because of that, I expect the visitors to find a way to get the job done here. Atlanta’s Matt Ryan is only expected to see a few snaps and Julio Jones and many of the other key star offensive players for the home side will also see limited to no time whatsoever. Key Trends: - Atlanta’s Dan Quinn is just 5-14 all time in the preseason as the Falcons coach. - Washington head coach Jay Gruden is 12-10 all time in the preseason. The verdict: Case Keenum will likely get the call as No. 1 in Washington, but we’ll also see a lot of backup Dwayne Haskins. Atlanta will feature Matt Schaub, and I think he’ll have his hands full trying to keep pace. Look for Washington to pull away down the stretch! |
|||||||
08-22-19 | Panthers v. Patriots OVER 42 | Top | 3-10 | Loss | -107 | 32 h 36 m | Show |
Ricky’s 10* play on the over Panthers/Patriots. New England has who seven of the past ten preseason games vs. Carolina, but it fell 25-19 in Charlotte last year. The Panthers won 23-13 in Chicago in Week 1, before then falling 27-14 at home to Buffalo. Carolina is finally going to start QB Cam Newton and RB Christian McCaffrey in this one. Carolina is expected to play most of its starters for at least half the game, as it tries to get a true judge of where it’s at vs. the defending champs and in this difficult road venue. The verdict: New England continues to roll as it hasn’t lost since Week 15 last year. So far it’s 2-0 in the preseason. Whether Tom Brady plays or not, I think New England pushes the pace here as well in front of the home town crowd (note that rookie QB Jarrett Stidham was 14 of 19 for 193 yards and a TD vs. the Titans.) The Pats are also expected to start Julian Edelman at receiver for the first time this year. When you add it all up, this one has “shootout” written all over it in my opinion; play the over! |
|||||||
08-19-19 | 49ers v. Broncos UNDER 42 | Top | 24-15 | Win | 100 | 35 h 59 m | Show |
Ricky’s 10* TOTAL BIG TIGER on the under. Both teams looked shaky in their respective openers. Denver returns home after a 22-14 setback in Seattle. It’s interesting to note that the Broncos are just 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 preseason games at Mile High. 49ers’ QB Jimmy Garoppolo threw five INT’s in practice this week and suddenly San Francisco has more questions than answers on the offensive side of things (note that there 49ers scored a total of just 30 points in two preseason games a year ago.) Key Trends: - Denver has seen the total go under in three straight preseason games. - San Francisco has seen the total go under in four of its last six preseason contests. The verdict: I don’t think that a shift in venue to the thin air of Denver is going to help either of these scuffling offensive units; play the under! |
|||||||
08-18-19 | Seahawks v. Vikings UNDER 42 | Top | 19-25 | Loss | -108 | 151 h 16 m | Show |
Ricky’s 10* play on the under Hawks/Vikes. I think the Vikes take the foot off the gas here after their high-scoring 34-25 road win in New Orleans. Certainly Minnesota is going to face a much better defense in the Seahawks. Last year the Vikes won this game 21-20, but I’m expecting a much lower-scoring “battle” this time around. Seattle has already said that Chris Carson is going to the be the No. 1 RB, so now it’s a battle at that position for the rest of the preseason. The Hawks have their QB, but a strong run game is essential for Russell Wilson obviously. The top spots are filled in Minnesota, so the team is just trying to fill in some weak spots at this point. The verdict: With Seattle committed to focusing on its run game in the preseason and with the expected letdown here from the home side after last week’s road offensive explosion, all signs point to this one sneaking below the posted number once it’s all said and done! |
|||||||
08-18-19 | Saints v. Chargers -3 | Top | 19-17 | Loss | -110 | 147 h 16 m | Show |
Ricky’s 10* play on the LA Chargers. Both teams come in off Week 1 losses. But the Saints looked downright terrible defensively last week in their 34-25 setback at home to the Vikings. With starting QB Drew Brees expected to see little or no time once again, I think New Orleans struggles again here defensively (overall the Vikes had 213 rushing yards and 247 passing.) Taysom Hill and Teddy Bridgewater admittedly both looked decent in their battle for No. 2. The Chargers eventually fell 17-13 in Arizona in Week 1. LA also got good QB play from its potential backups, with Easton Stick passing for 78 yards and rushing for 51, while Cardale Jones was 4 of 6 for 47 yards. Tyrod Taylor though was 6 of 6 for 72 yards, while rushing for 34 more. The verdict: LA looked a lot better on the defensive side last week than New Orleans and I believe that will once again be the difference maker for the Chargers this weekend. I think the Saints get caught looking ahead to their all important Week 3 dress rehearsal; lay the points. |
|||||||
08-17-19 | Cowboys v. Rams OVER 42 | Top | 14-10 | Loss | -140 | 129 h 19 m | Show |
Ricky’s 10* play on the over Cowboys/Rams. This game is being played in Hawaii. I believe both teams keep the foot on the gas from start to finish and I look for this total to fly over the number sooner, rather than later. The Rams lost 14-3 in Oakland last week, electing to sit their entire starting line-up. Dallas will be out to get things turned around on the offensive end as well after its 17-9 setback at San Francisco. The verdict: Both teams aren’t expected to play their starters much, or at all in this one either. But that won’t mean there won’t be an extreme sense of competition and urgency on the field of play today. After each team “laid an egg” offensively last week, I expect each to “open up the playbook” on Saturday; this number is low, play the over! |
|||||||
08-17-19 | Patriots v. Titans +3 | Top | 22-17 | Loss | -106 | 126 h 20 m | Show |
Ricky’s 10* play on the Tennessee Titans. The Patriots demolished the Lions in Detroit in preseason Week 1 action, but they’ll play their final two preseason games at home after this contest. Week 3 is the all important “dress rehearsal” of course, where the starters see the majority of action for the game, so with that in mind I believe that the visitors will indeed just “go through the motions” this evening. The Titans on the other hand will be looking at this game as a measuring stick and they’ll want to keep the foot on the gas after their impressive 27-10 win over the Eagles in Week 1. The verdict: After going 0-4 in the preseason last year, Titans coach Mike Vrabel has already gotten out to a better start this season. This is a “situational” play for me. I think the Pats are already looking ahead to their first preseason game at home next week, while the Titans come in seriously focused on the task at hand. Outright win? Obviously completely possible, but in the end let’s grab the points! |
|||||||
08-16-19 | Bears v. Giants | Top | 13-32 | Win | 100 | 103 h 54 m | Show |
Ricky’s 10* ULTIMATE OF THE ULTIMATE on the New York Giants. The New York Giants have to be feeling good after rookie Daniel Jones shone in his team’s Week 1 win over the Jets. Note that the Bears are 2-4 in the preseason under 2018 NFL Coach of The Year Matt Nagy, while the Giants are 3-2 under Pat Shurmur. The Bears lost 23-13 last week at home to Carolina and starting QB Mitch Trubisky didn’t see any time in that one and he likely won’t here either (keep your eyes on Chicago rookie RB David Montgomery, who had a rushing score last week and also caught three passes.) The Giants did indeed prevail 31-22 over the Jets and Jones was 5 for 5 for 67 yards and a TD. Key Trends: Nagy’s job is secure and he clearly doesn’t put much stock into the preseason. Shurmur is already on the “hot seat” though and his young rookie QB appears to competing for the No. 1 spot. This one has “blowout” written all over it! |
|||||||
08-16-19 | Dolphins v. Bucs UNDER 43.5 | Top | 14-16 | Win | 100 | 103 h 53 m | Show |
Ricky’s 10* play on the UNDER Dolphins/Bucs. Tampa Bay hired Bruce Arians in the offseason and he’ll be hoping that Jameis Winston will be on top form this season, as the controversial QB is in the final year of his contract. The Dolphins also have a new coach in Brian Flores, after Adam Gase went 7-9 in 2018. These teams are very familiar with each other because of the proximity and while last year’s 26-24 Tampa victory flew well above the total, I think this year’s contest sets up as much more of a defensive battle. The verdict: Miami comes in off a 34-27 home win last Thursday, but I expect to see a much more vanilla unit hit the field in Week 2. The Bucs lost 30-28 in Pittsburgh last Friday. With both sides putting more of an added emphasis onto the defensive end of the field, look for this total to stay well under once it’s all said and done! |
|||||||
08-15-19 | Raiders v. Cardinals -3.5 | Top | 33-26 | Loss | -105 | 79 h 28 m | Show |
Ricky’s 10* play on the Arizona Cardinals. Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Key Trends: Analysis posted shortly. |
|||||||
08-15-19 | Jets v. Falcons OVER 41 | Top | 22-10 | Loss | -110 | 79 h 59 m | Show |
Ricky’s 10* TOTAL BIG TIGER on the over Jets/Falcons. Falcons’ starting QB Matt Ryan will see his first action of the preseason. So far the Falcons are 0-2 in the preseason, after losing in the Hall of Fame Game as well. Amazingly Atlanta is 0-10 in its last ten preseason games. The Falcons clearly won’t be lacking for motivation here. The Jets fell to the Giants last week, but starter Sam Darnold looked great in his only drive of the game, finishing 4 of 5 for 68 yards and a TD. The Jets’ defense took a couple of major hits, with top CB Trumaine Johnson out with a hamstring injury and his back-up Kyron Brown also going down with a leg issue. The verdict: With each team seeking its first victory, I’m expecting a wide-open affair; this number is a little low, play the over! |
|||||||
08-10-19 | Cowboys v. 49ers OVER 36 | Top | 9-17 | Loss | -105 | 244 h 10 m | Show |
Ricky’s 10* play on the over Boys/49ers. These NFC clubs are familiar with each other. Neither team though has been given much of a chance to earn a Super Bowl championship by the oddsmakers this year. Each will be out to prove them wrong and both have plenty of issues on both sides of the ball to work through. The verdict: These teams met in last year’s pre-season opener as well and San Fran won 24-21. I’m expecting a similar final combined score here as well. At some point Ezekiel Elliot will sign with Dallas, but even if he was officially on the roster at this point, he wouldn’t be suiting up today anyways. Both teams have plenty of key position battles going on and I believe this is going to lead to a higher-scoring shootout once it’s all said and done; play the over! |
|||||||
08-09-19 | Vikings +3 v. Saints | Top | 34-25 | Win | 100 | 219 h 26 m | Show |
Ricky’s 10* play on the Minnesota Vikings. The Saints have been knocked out of the playoffs on heart-breaking last moment plays in back-to-back seasons. While those two setbacks will clearly be driving Drew Brees and company, I’d argue that Minnesota is by far the “hungrier” team this season. The Vikes won the division title in 2015 and 2017 and last year they were just 8-7-1 after signing veteran QB Kirk Cousins. Key Trends: These teams have played in 30 regular season games and four playoff games. Minnesota is 22-12 all time in the series, 19-11 in the regular season and 3-1 in the postseason. The verdict: Neither team’s starters will see much or any time today obviously. But Minnesota has many competitions going on for a starters role and I believe that alone will prove to be the difference here. Outright victory? Obviously very possible, but in the end I’ll recommend grabbing as many points as you can! |
|||||||
08-09-19 | Bucs v. Steelers OVER 37 | Top | 28-30 | Win | 100 | 219 h 57 m | Show |
Ricky’s 10* play on the over Bucs/Steelers. There’s no more meaningless game the Game 1 of the preseason. Neither side’s star players are expected to see much (if any) playing time today. Tampa Bay debut’s its new coach Bruce Arians though, who will be eager to try and make a statement early. Pittsburgh got rid of Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown, meaning that there’s going to be some serious competition at these offensive skill positions throughout the pre-season. When you add up all these situational factors for both teams, I believe it points to more of a high-scoring “shootout,” than a lower-scoring “chess match.” The verdict: Both teams come in off disappointing campaigns and each has a lot to work through over these first four preseason games. I think each open up the playbook; play the over! |
|||||||
08-08-19 | Chargers v. Cardinals -1 | Top | 13-17 | Win | 100 | 198 h 39 m | Show |
Ricky’s 10* play on the Arizona Cardinals. Kyler Murray will be front and center under center for the Cardinals tonight. Murray is a player that has the potential to make an instant impact on the field and I believe he’s going to make the most of his very first opportunity vs. this vanilla Chargers’ defensive unit. Underneath coach Anthony Lynn the Chargers are 1-3 and 2-2 in the preseason. Arizona though not only has a new QB, but it also has a new coach in Kliff Kingsbury, who I believe will be out to make a statement as well and get his tenure started off on the “right foot.” From a situational stand point, I absolutely feel that this one sets up great for the home side. Key Trends: Neither team is expected to see its star players see much action today. Except of course for Cardinals’ rookie Murray. Look for Arizona to get the 2019/20 season started off with a solid win; lay the short points! |
|||||||
08-08-19 | Patriots v. Lions UNDER 37.5 | Top | 31-3 | Win | 100 | 195 h 10 m | Show |
Ricky’s 10* play on the under Pats/Lions. Tom Brady won’t be playing in this one. Neither will any of the starting offensive line or the starting RB’s. Bill Bellichick is expected to start try-outs and wannabe’s on both sides of the field today. While most of Detroit’s star players will also obviously be sitting this one out, the difference is that this one clearly “means” much more to Detroit after its sub-par season a year ago. Lions head coach Pat Patricia used to be the defensive coordinator of the Patriots and he’s reportedly on the “hot seat” coming into this season. The Lions have plenty of new faces auditioning for a role on the starting line-up and I believe this is a big difference maker in Week 1 as well. The verdict: Additionally note that when New England did come to Detroit last year, the Lions won 26-10, as Patricia masterfully dominated the play-calling. This one sets up as a defensive “under” in my opinion! |
|||||||
08-01-19 | Broncos v. Falcons +3 | Top | 14-10 | Loss | -100 | 34 h 36 m | Show |
Ricky’s 10* play on the Atlanta Falcons. Denver has a new head coach and a new QB. The Broncos fired Vance Joseph and hired the defensive minded Vic Fangio from the Bears. QB Case Keenum is gone and veteran Joe Flacco is in. Flacco likely won’t even play tonight, leaving duties to rookie Drew Lock. The Falcons have plenty of issues as well, but the veteran offensive core returns. While most of those starters won’t be suiting up here, I still think that Atlanta has the advantage here. Denver is having to work through many different issues with new coaching personnel and in the Hall Of Fame Game, I believe the advantage swings to the more experienced Falcons. The verdict: While the outright win is clearly not out of the question, in the end I’ll recommend grabbing as many points as you can; play on the Falcons! |
|||||||
08-20-18 | Ravens +100 v. Colts | Top | 20-19 | Win | 100 | 152 h 24 m | Show |
Ricky's 10* play on the Ravens: Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. In today's game there is no doubt that the quarterbacks for the Ravens are particularly significant. Key Trends: - The Ravens are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 road games. - The Ravens are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 Monday games. - The Favorite is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 meetings. Verdict: Take Baltimore |
