There are three games on the NFL odds board for Friday, including Browns vs. Panthers and Lions vs. Falcons at 7 p.m. ET, followed by Commanders vs. Patriots at 7:30 p.m. ET.
And just because tonight’s NFL slate offers preseason matchups, doesn’t mean there isn’t betting value to be found, either.
Browns vs. Panthers features two NFL picks — Action PRO reveals savvy spread and total bets, both catching sharp action.
Also, Lions vs. Falcons fits a situational trend that has been profitable picking first-half sides in the NFL preseason since tracking.
Lastly, we’ll take a look at which side of the Commanders vs. Patriots spread is attracting 80% of the money, on just 23% of the tickets.
NFL Odds, 3 Picks for Friday
The Browns are a hot story entering the preseason due to the quarterback room. Odds are stacked up against the QB tandem of Shedeur Sanders and Tyler Huntley in Week 1, as Cleveland’s catching a full touchdown, alongside a super-low over/under.
However, both tickets and money are aligned on the Browns to cover. Coach Kevin Stefanski and Co. are getting peppered with some sharp moves in PRO, attracting about 66% of the tickets.
We’ve also tracked sharp money on the under at 32.5.
PRO Pick: Browns to Cover
PRO Pick: Browns vs. Panthers Under
Here’s a neat angle from Bet Labs: Preseason road favorites up to 4.5 against the spread have been strong in the first half, covering 57% of games we’ve tracked.
On Friday, the Detroit Lions fit the bill against the Atlanta Falcons.

The Lions are also the big-money side in PRO to cover the full-game spread – 78% of the handle on just 48% of the tickets.
The big-money side for the Commanders vs. Patriots exhibition is New England to cover the 6.5. Pro action is piling up on new head coach Mike Vrabel and the Patriots, who will showcase star quarterback Drake Maye at Gillette Stadium. The Commanders, meanwhile, will sit star quarterback Jayden Daniels.
