NFL Odds & Picks for Saturday, Aug. 9
Instead of scouring the internet for NFL weather, let our proprietary data do the work for you. More importantly, our weather info detects only the stuff bettors really need to know, while avoiding any noise
First, let’s turn to a preseason, weather-related trend which has delivered solid results with a 24-11 (68.6%) record.
This system flags the under in the first half of preseason games when humidity levels are elevated. High humidity early in the season tends to drain stamina faster, especially for backup and rotational players getting reps in the first half.
Coaches prioritize evaluation over aggressive offense in the preseason, and this cautious approach, combined with the physical toll of heat and moisture, often results in slower-paced, lower-scoring opening halves.
PRO subscribers get access to all these types of weather models.
And three matchups fit this humidity profile perfectly for NFL Saturday: the Jaguars vs. Steelers, Jets vs. Packers, and Titans vs. Buccaneers.
All three games are expected to experience above-average moisture levels, making the first-half under an appealing look on all three.
PRO System Pick: Jaguars vs. Steelers 1H Under
PRO System Pick: Jets vs. Packers 1H Under
PRO System Pick: Titans vs. Buccaneers 1H Under

Moving on, the Texans at Vikings game highlights sharp professional money on Houston +3. The Texans are attracting 73% of the total wagered money on only 43% of the bets, a classic sign of heavy sharp backing.
Additionally, Bet Labs’ “Pedigree Dogs” trend is active on the Texans, too.
This strategy circles NFL teams off a season between nine and 11 wins, who benefit from stability and roster depth that may not be fully appreciated in preseason lines. These “pedigree” teams can outperform market expectations when lined underdogs in exhibition games.
PRO Pick: Texans to Cover
Finally, look for significant support on the Broncos to cover against the 49ers. Sharp money has pushed the line as high as -7, with 77% of the total money placed coming from just 44% of the bets – another indication of influential bettors backing Denver.
PRO Report confirms strong sharp action and heavy investment on the Broncos covering the spread at Levi’s Stadium.
