ATLANTA – The 2022 NFL preseason continues Thursday evening and online sportsbooks have odds for all of the action through the weekend.

There is a new era in Atlanta, with the Falcons playing their first preseason game on Friday. Being a former first-round pick in 2015, Marcus Mariota is expected to get the preseason start for the Falcons.

Betting Value For The Falcons Preseason

Between Mariota and rookie QB Desmond Ridder, there is potential value for betting on the Falcons QB lineup. If he gets on the field Friday night, there will also be eyes on 2022 first-round pick Drake London during the game.

During the Titan’s 2016 preseason, Mariota led the team to a 3-1 record.

With this new offense touching the field for the first time, there is value in betting on the total points for the preseason game.

Preseason Bets To Take For The Titans

Looking at Mariota’s first team, there is also value for sports betting on the Titans preseason first game on Thursday.

Even though they are the underdog, the Titans have a lot to show off with Malik Willis and first-round WR Treylon Burks. Willis unexpectedly fell to the third round and will have the chance to show his potential in Thursday’s preseason game.

There are also props for this preseason game, for individual scoring totals. With the Titans having an offense to try out, betting on their total has value without the risk of the Ravens not being offensively productive.

During the Titans 2021 preseason, the team scored at least 23 points in all three games.

Bets To Avoid For NFL 2020 Week One Preseason

During the 2021 preseason, the Giants only scored over 17.5 points in their third and last game. They have -115 odds to hit the over or under for their first 2022 preseason game against the Patriots on Thursday.

The Giants lost all three of their 2021 preseason games, including their game against the Patriots.

New England allowed a total of 33 points during their three 2021 preseason games and drafted two CBs within the first four rounds of the 2022 draft.
