The New York Jets and Cleveland Browns have a lot to prove this upcoming NFL season. Whether or not they choose the Hall of Fame Game to be the first step in that process remains to be seen.
Football bettors get their first taste of NFL action (sort of) with the preseason kickoff tonight, when New York and Cleveland clash in Canton, Ohio.
Don’t expect to see many stars or standouts for either side, which means handicapping this exhibition opener takes some finesse. It also takes discipline and patience. Just because this is the first whiff of NFL odds wagering since the Super Bowl doesn’t mean you should go big with your bets.
I break down the point spread and Over/Under for the NFL Hall of Fame Game and give my best NFL picks and predictions for Jets vs. Browns on August 3.
