Best bets for Friday, Aug. 21
The three NFL preseason games are expected to feature more starters in the second go-round, with players like quarterbacks Trevor Lawrence and Bo Nix potentially suiting up. There will also be a lot of attention on former Penn State quarterback Drew Allar on Friday after the third-round pick had a big opener for the Steelers. The Jets head to Acrisure Stadium to face Pittsburgh, while the Panthers visit the Jaguars and the Broncos host the Packers. The Jets are 1-point road favoriets at BetMGM, and the over/under for total points is 38.
In the WNBA, the league-leading Minnesota Lynx go for their sixth straight victory after a huge 77-66 win over the second-place Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday. The Lynx visit the Washington Mystics on Friday, and BetMGM lists Minnesota as a 1.5-point favorite, with the total set at 165.5. These are two of the top three defenses in the WNBA, with both allowing fewer than 84 points, but the Lynx have the second-best offense (92.2 points per game) while Washington is second-to-last (81.9).
