Bills (-2.5) vs. Steelers (-120)
"New head coach Joe Brady has been a preseason juggernaut so far," SportsLine expert Larry Hartstein said. "Under the team's promoted offensive coordinator, Buffalo beat Carolina, 29-14, as a slight home favorite, then destroyed the Browns, 31-7, as a slight road underdog. Josh Allen and the starters won't play, but backup QBs Kyle Allen and Shane Buechle each led a pair of touchdown drives last week. Through two games, Buffalo's defense has allowed 3.6 yards per play while registering 13 tackles for loss. The Steelers' quarterbacks, Will Howard and Drew Allar, displayed glimpses of potential and youthful mistakes in last week's 17-0 loss to the Jets. Poor protection and dropped passes didn't help. Those same issues could be a problem Thursday against Buffalo's superior roster." Back the Bills by claiming the latest BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS here:

"This is Ty Simpson's last chance to push Stetson Bennett for the backup job behind Matthew Stafford," Hartstein said. "Selected No. 13 overall out of Alabama, Simpson has looked polished in both preseason games. First, he completed 21 of 25 throws for 190 yards and two touchdowns against Kansas City, then he went 8 of 12 for 73 yards vs. the Saints. Bennett has been even better, and he could get some playing time, too, with undrafted free agent Matthew Caldwell also a possibility. I like the Rams' QB depth more than the Chargers' backup battle between Trey Lance and DJ Uiagalelei. The Rams have outscored their first two preseason opponents by a combined 54-12. Even though Sean McVay is notorious for protecting key players during the preseason, the Rams' roster depth has been impressive. Take the points."

TCU (-8.5) vs. North Carolina (-110) (Saturday, noon ET)
"When I studied QB Jaden Craig at Harvard, he was one of the best QBs in the FCS," SportsLine expert Emory Hunt said. "He's now the starting QB at TCU and gives them a rushing element that they didn't have under last year's QB Josh Hoover. We still don't know what to expect offensively from North Carolina. While defensively they will provide a challenge at the line of scrimmage, over the course of a game I don't believe their offense will be able to play complementary football enough to cover this spread."
