Friday NFL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Chargers vs. Saints Quietly Landing Sharp Money

Chargers vs. Saints Odds

*Odds as of Friday morning

Friday's NFL preseason Week 3 slate is four games deep, including Bills vs. Panthers, Seahawks vs. Cowboys, Chargers vs. Saints and Patriots vs. Raiders.

Because of differing agendas in the the final preseason game, NFL odds movement is all over the place with the market reacting to which teams are playing and sitting starters.

For example, the Seahawks, who are expected to start Geno Smith before letting Drew Lock play a large portion of the rest of the game, have stretched to 7-point favorites over the Cowboys, who will likely sit most key starters.

While that spread has moved from Seattle -2.5 to -7, that movement is largely due to sportsbooks adjusting for Seahawks starters facing off against Cowboys backups.

On the other hand, the line movement for Friday night's Chargers vs. Saints matchup appears to be tied much more closely with sharp betting action.

Let's dive into the sharp angle that is drawing money.
