The 2023 college football season gets underway today with seven Week 0 matchups.
But don’t forget the NFL preseason is still rolling strong with it’s own 10-game Saturday slate as well.
Of course bettors are going to be more interested in regular season football, but that doesn’t mean that NFL odds for Saturday should be completely avoided either.
In fact, the Action Network’s PRO NFL picks have already identified three predictions landing smart money across today’s slate.
While most bettors will be preoccupied with college football on Saturday, here are three NFL picks quietly attracting sharp action.

In addition, 85% of tickets are on this side as well, showing just how one-sided the overall action is on this matchup.

Cardinals vs. Vikings Pick
1 p.m. ET
Cardinals vs. Vikings is so nice that the wiseguys are betting it twice.
To start, Action Labs’ Bet Signals are reporting that sharps have steamed Minnesota on two separate occasions thus far, explaining why the Vikings has moved from 1.5-point underdogs to 1.5-point favorites heading into tonight’s matchup.
Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market and is often the result of bettors with the respect and resources to move odds by getting down on the same wager at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.
And speaking of steam, the Cardinals vs. Vikings over has been perhaps the more popular target of respected bettors, evidenced by the four steam moves that has driven this total up from 34.5 to 38.5 for this preseason Week 3 game.
PRO Report Picks: Vikings -1.5 (-110) · Over 38.5 (-110)
