NFL Preseason Week 2 Preview & Picks: Saturday's Games-President Trump Makes Putin Accept Ceasefire in Russo-Ukrainian War-Super News #58 · Prestons Super Show

• 0:09
  Get ready for the political sensation with super host and
• 0:12
  news breaker Preston Olsen. Welcome to Preston Super Show.
• 0:18
  Thank you for joining me on this episode.
• 0:22
  We are just talking about NFL pre season Week 2 picks for
• 0:29
  Saturday's games. I'll come back on Saturday after
• 0:33
  the action, after UFC and right around Sunday morning, maybe
• 0:39
  late Sunday night, you'll see that Sunday and Monday podcast
• 0:44
  come through with the picks on there.
• 0:47
  So I'll try to have that in order for you.
• 0:49
  So you get them before Sunday and there'll be a little bit of
• 0:52
  news on there that will carry over from Monday.
• 0:55
  But on this episode, strictly going right into football, noon
• 1:01
  kickoff, Miami Dolphins up against the Detroit Lions.
• 1:05
  The Dolphins have one tie, the Lions are one and one.
• 1:10
  The Dolphins are favorites -1 on the spread.
• 1:13
  The total is that 37 1/2 in this game.
• 1:18
  I think that the Lions are due for something big to happen.
• 1:25
  They may get it in this game. They have Kyle Allen who's going
• 1:31
  to be throwing. You have Craig Reynolds who's
• 1:34
  running the ball. He'll do a pretty good job.
• 1:37
  And you have Jackson Meeks out there, receiver, he's been their
• 1:43
  top target, 4 catches, 83 yards and one touchdown.
• 1:48
  But you look at this Miami Dolphins team, they have all of
• 1:53
  their Subs out there. You probably won't see Tyra
• 1:56
  Gill. You're not going to see guys
• 1:59
  like Jaylene Phillips at linebacker on the defensive side
• 2:05
  of the ball. What you're going to see is
• 2:09
  young players getting their opportunity.
• 2:12
  Let's look at Zach Wilson. He has a chance to come out
• 2:16
  there and put together some good drives like Cam Ward was able to
• 2:22
  come out and do after failing a couple times today in that
• 2:25
  Titans game. They come back to win.
• 2:28
  Now you have Zach Wilson looking to do something like that in
• 2:33
  this game. Who's running the ball here?
• 2:36
  Ollie Gordon, the second for Miami.
• 2:38
  And at receiver, their top targets been Taj Washington.
• 2:42
  What I really like about this game isn't too much of what a
• 2:47
  player can do with preseason. It's more of where is the best
• 2:52
  bet and where's the best bargain.
• 2:55
  Literally the totals at 37 1/2. This goes over, I think both
• 3:00
  teams have enough out there to where they're going to push this
• 3:04
  total over. Then we get the Green Bay
• 3:07
  Packers up against the Indianapolis Colts.
• 3:10
  There's been a lot of good information, a lot of good news
• 3:13
  coming out of the joint practice.
• 3:16
  Both defenses look pretty good. Both offenses were a little bit
• 3:20
  sluggish. They had their moments.
• 3:23
  One thing we know is Malik Willis has been getting high
• 3:28
  praise from his Packer teammates.
• 3:32
  You're not going to see Jordan Love.
• 3:33
  I don't believe he's going to play at all.
• 3:35
  I doubt it. You might get Romeo Dobbs, you
• 3:40
  may get Jaden Reed, but you're going to really be reliant on a
• 3:46
  lot of young Packer talent. You're not going to get
• 3:48
  Christian Watson. The Colts defense is not going
• 3:54
  to have many of their starters in.
• 3:57
  What everybody's watching is Daniel Jones at quarterback.
• 4:00
  I think the Packers defense will actually find some success
• 4:03
  against him, but you have to be cautious of his ability to run.
• 4:09
  We'll see what this Packers defense can do.
• 4:12
  It's in Indy at Lucas Oil Stadium.
• 4:16
  I think it's a game. The Packers can sneak a win out
• 4:18
  of +6 on the spread. I think the Packers are destined
• 4:24
  to have a better game than last week, and when you look at their
• 4:31
  depth chart of quarterbacks, you see that.
• 4:35
  You know what? It's not the end of the world if
• 4:38
  Jordan Love doesn't play. They have Sean Clifford, who is
• 4:44
  going to be a lot better in this game and he's going to get more
• 4:49
  snaps if Love doesn't play because he really needs to focus
• 4:54
  on the regular season anyways at this point.
• 4:57
  Taylor L Guzma, What I like about him is he's not afraid to
• 5:04
  sling the ball around. He just got to be a little bit
• 5:07
  more cautious about how far he's throwing it down field because a
• 5:16
  lot of air under the ball gives defender's time to cut back and
• 5:22
  make that interception. So we had the Packers president
• 5:25
  come out and he said, Nope, there's not going to be any male
• 5:29
  cheerleader. The New England Patriots come
• 5:32
  out and they say, yeah, they'll have one.
• 5:36
  The Vikings have two of the male cheerleaders.
• 5:41
  And these teams are going to face today.
• 5:44
  How ridiculous. I hope it ends in a tie.
• 5:49
  The New England Patriots. First, the Minnesota Vikings.
• 5:54
  The only thing I really say about this game is the Patriots
• 5:56
  were looking a lot better. I think they easily win this
• 6:00
  game +2 underdog. I don't believe it.
• 6:04
  I think they are a pretty unified group on the on the
• 6:08
  field. I think the team's unified.
• 6:11
  Everybody's happy total at 37 1/2.
• 6:15
  They're finding their identity. The male cheerleader thing is
• 6:20
  the distraction. I'm not buying it to it.
• 6:23
  I just thought it was comical that for some reason that made
• 6:29
  the news and now we got to see whether or not teams are going
• 6:32
  to play along with it or not. And I think that's a joke and
• 6:36
  it's stupid and it makes me frustrated that we move away
• 6:41
  from sports with that garbage. So then we have the Cleveland
• 6:49
  Browns versus the Philadelphia Eagles.
• 6:52
  Total set at 37 and a half. Eagles are -4 favorites on the
• 7:00
  spread. You got to like the Eagles in
• 7:03
  this game. It's hard to say they won't win.
• 7:07
  I mean, maybe the Browns do something that we're not
• 7:11
  expecting, but it seems like everybody's questionable.
• 7:15
  All their quarterbacks are questionable and they're kind of
• 7:19
  all banged up at all these different positions on defense
• 7:23
  and they're not going to have any starters in there.
• 7:27
  I think the Eagles cruise, I think -4 for the Eagles is
• 7:33
  pretty good for pre season. It opened at -1 1/2.
• 7:39
  I like the Eagles to clean up in this game.
• 7:42
  You have Shipley that's going to get quite a few carries.
• 7:48
  You have Darius Cooper, auto receiver, and he has been the
• 7:52
  top target for this Eagles team during the preseason.
• 7:59
  Let's take a look at the next game here.
• 8:01
  And I think this will be a little bit more competitive, at
• 8:05
  least from the onset of it. The Carolina Panthers travel to
• 8:12
  NRG Stadium to face the Houston Texans.
• 8:17
  Total set of 39 1/2 spread has Houston favored -2 and the money
• 8:27
  line is where it's interesting. You got Houston to -130 but
• 8:31
  Carolina at plus 110 odds. Andy Dalton might have an
• 8:39
  opportunity here to do a little bit of damage against Houston
• 8:45
  because they're not going to be playing a lot of the best guys.
• 8:50
  And on the flip side, Houston has keyed on Slovis, who's been
• 8:57
  slinging the ball around and he's been pretty accurate.
• 9:01
  Running the ball will be Derry Ugan Ballet leading the way, and
• 9:08
  for Carolina it will be Imani Bailey.
• 9:13
  If you're looking for the receivers in this game, I like
• 9:17
  what Houston has it receiver that will play in this game
• 9:21
  opposed to what Carolina has. But let's take a look.
• 9:25
  Here we have Jon Meachie, the third, the leading receiver for
• 9:32
  the Houston Texans during their pre season campaign so far, 5
• 9:36
  catches for 45 yards. And then you get on the flip
• 9:40
  side of that Carolina stop receiver and the top target over
• 9:44
  there has been Tatario Macmillan with two catches for 43 yards.
• 9:49
  I think Houston can win this game.
• 9:52
  It's a coin flip. I'm going to say Carolina comes
• 9:57
  out of here with a win. Then you get the San Francisco
• 10:00
  49ers up against the Las Vegas Raiders.
• 10:04
  Las Vegas is -4 favorites on the spread total set of 40 1/2.
• 10:11
  You know, what I like about this game is that both teams are
• 10:13
  going to cut loose again. You're going to get the Raiders
• 10:18
  trying to find some identity at quarterback.
• 10:20
  You have Geno Smith having an opportunity.
• 10:24
  He's going to have to figure out a way to get something going.
• 10:31
  Gentry and running back. I think he has to do more.
• 10:35
  I think he has to really show the Raider Nation that he's, you
• 10:40
  know, is there for them. And it could be a little tough
• 10:45
  because even though you're not going to have the best of the
• 10:49
  best playing for San Francisco, this is a team that's still
• 10:55
  pretty stacked, still pretty deep.
• 10:58
  The defense has kind of let them down, but the offense has
• 11:04
  rebounded very well. Now, in a preseason game like
• 11:09
  this, total set of 40 1/2 for two teams that really don't have
• 11:12
  a rhythm, that's too high. It's moved up two points.
• 11:17
  I don't know. I just feel like it's too high
• 11:20
  unless they really don't believe the defenses can do something.
• 11:23
  I'm against that. I think it's an under.
• 11:26
  I think your best bets an under. And I think San Francisco does
• 11:29
  win this game plus four. And they get out of here with
• 11:38
  the kind of a small road trip for them.
• 11:42
  They didn't have to go that far. That game's going to be on the
• 11:46
  NFL Network at three O 5 PMI like San Francisco plus 175 on
• 11:53
  the money line, +4 on the spread, whatever you like
• 11:57
  better. For me, it's an under game.
• 12:01
  I'm not sticking around for that one.
• 12:04
  Now we can look at the Baltimore Ravens versus the Dallas Cowboys
• 12:10
  and these teams really are going to different ways of my opinion
• 12:15
  in pre season. So the Baltimore Ravens are on
• 12:18
  the up, the Cowboys are on the down.
• 12:21
  Now there was a little bit of a rally last week for the Cowboys
• 12:25
  but didn't amount to anything. But they have Joe Milton the
• 12:29
  third who kind of makes things interesting and I think he can
• 12:34
  do that in this game against Baltimore.
• 12:37
  But I think early on, I think it's going to be tough for him.
• 12:40
  And then as the starters begin to be pulled one by one out of
• 12:46
  there, I think you get the Baltimore Ravens in a great
• 12:51
  position to win. But Joe Milton can do a little
• 12:56
  bit more. Total 36 1/2.
• 12:59
  I like the over Baltimore is the -2 1/2 favorites on the spread?
• 13:05
  That's probably right, plus 110 on the money line for the
• 13:10
  Cowboys if anybody wants to bite.
• 13:12
  I personally am not big on either of these teams in the
• 13:17
  preseason, but I think the Ravens are better suited for
• 13:20
  that game. I think they're going to come
• 13:22
  out a little bit more steam in the engine.
• 13:27
  We'll look at the Los Angeles Chargers up against the Los
• 13:31
  Angeles Rams in the Battle of LA.
• 13:35
  Total set of 38 1/2. That goes over a lot of energy
• 13:39
  in this game. Great environment.
• 13:44
  You have the Rams that are 1 and O.
• 13:47
  The Chargers are two and O. So both of these teams are
• 13:50
  finding ways to win. I think the Chargers may go
• 13:55
  undefeated in pre season. They're favorites in this game
• 13:58
  -6 1/2 on the spread. Total set of 38 1/2 but -280 on
• 14:04
  the money line. So they're 2 to one odds here.
• 14:07
  They're pushed, they're almost pushing 3 to 1 odds as the
• 14:10
  favorite. And because they're not, I like
• 14:15
  the Chargers to win. If that was 3 to 1 odds, it's
• 14:20
  pre season. I would be like money line Rams.
• 14:23
  Just that there's no way. There's just too much of A of a
• 14:28
  lean there, but because it's at -280 and it's just like that.
• 14:34
  I, I know it's going to hold there.
• 14:35
  I just have that feeling right. So total set of 38 1/2.
• 14:40
  I think it's over because too much energy.
• 14:44
  The defenses aren't stopping much in pre season once the
• 14:47
  offenses can make some big plays and I think you kind of get the
• 14:54
  O for easy, but I don't think it's easy for the Chargers to
• 14:59
  win, but I do think they win that game.
• 15:01
  The player to watch is Stetson Bennett at quarterback.
• 15:06
  He is a beast and once he fully kind of develops in the role,
• 15:14
  you know coming to the NFL is not an easy thing.
• 15:18
  At quarterback is even harder. So guys like him and Cam Ward,
• 15:22
  you got to give him credit because they're getting
• 15:25
  opportunities. And with Stetson Bennett, he was
• 15:31
  proven in college, so this is a different opportunity for him
• 15:35
  here. But he's been pretty good, 188
• 15:38
  yards passing, 2 touchdowns. He's only thrown one pick and
• 15:43
  he's getting the mistakes out of the way now.
• 15:47
  Then we have the New York Jets first, the New York Giants, we
• 15:50
  get the Battle of New York. This is another 6:00 PM kick off
• 15:55
  to go along with the Ravens, Cowboys, Chargers and Rams and
• 15:59
  The Jets and Giants. So The Jets and Giants are going
• 16:04
  to Duke it out here. Both teams are one and O
• 16:08
  everybody likes this Jackson dark kid.
• 16:11
  I think it was a little bit of a mistake for the Giants to pick
• 16:14
  him. I think they should have let him
• 16:16
  fall in the draft a little bit more and then if they got him
• 16:19
  fine and possible to make a trade with the team who did get
• 16:24
  them. But the Giants may make it pay
• 16:30
  off, you know? But he's their leading rusher in
• 16:34
  pre season. I don't see that holding up.
• 16:37
  I do see The Jets winning this game some way.
• 16:42
  They're the underdog. Plus 3 1/2.
• 16:44
  I don't know. I feel like The Jets got enough
• 16:46
  backups after they beat the Packers.
• 16:49
  I kind of think they beat the Packers pretty good.
• 16:51
  I don't think there was like much of AA high there because I
• 16:54
  got on a plane and went home. Total set of 39 1/2 money line
• 17:00
  The Jets are plus 165. That's kind of juicy for the
• 17:06
  underdogs. Yeah, I kind of like The Jets
• 17:09
  being the underdogs and winning that, you know, the Giants being
• 17:12
  the favorites, the bigger money team supposed to be.
• 17:17
  And here's The Jets, the lowly Jets.
• 17:23
  Yeah, plus 3 1/2. That's a good number total 39
• 17:27
  1/2. I like the under more than I
• 17:30
  like the over. But then I'm not firm on either.
• 17:34
  I'm just more firm on The Jets covering.
• 17:38
  Then we get the Tampa Bay Buccaneers first, the Pittsburgh
• 17:43
  Steelers. And what about this, the night
• 17:47
  game, 6:00 PM, Another night game, Kyle Trask for the Tampa
• 17:56
  Bay Buccaneers. I feel like he's going to take
• 17:59
  the Steelers team to task now. The Skylar Thompson for the
• 18:07
  Steelers may impress us. He may wow us.
• 18:11
  So I'm setting my sights high on a over.
• 18:15
  It's 38 1/2 at the total right now.
• 18:19
  Tampa Bay, the -2 1/2 favorites. I don't like that.
• 18:22
  I think there's some hype here. There's some buzz around this
• 18:25
  kid, Skylar Thompson in pre seasons where those things
• 18:30
  matter for that specific instance.
• 18:36
  Tampa Bay -140 favorites, no, I don't like that.
• 18:41
  I'm against it. I like a total 38 1/2 it's not
• 18:46
  playing it safe, it's getting it right it's not trying to be
• 18:51
  right. It's hey, let's get it right and
• 18:53
  move on and I feel like you know, there's just a little bit
• 18:59
  more def than we know about in this game.
• 19:04
  This team, both of these teams are heavily stacked, so the
• 19:10
  amount of time the starters get will make a difference with the
• 19:16
  points, and I think that's going to help.
• 19:20
  Then we get the final game on Saturday.
• 19:22
  The final game we're going to talk about on this episode of
• 19:25
  Preston Super Show. This is the 58th installment of
• 19:31
  the Super News, and there are over 500 episodes of Preston
• 19:36
  Super Show across all podcast platforms.
• 19:39
  Listen wherever you like, The final game I'm going to talk
• 19:44
  about tonight. I will be back tomorrow with
• 19:47
  another pod for you, but this one is the Arizona Cardinals
• 19:52
  versus the Denver Broncos. Arizona Cardinals at 8:30 PM on
• 19:58
  the NFL Network will face the Denver Broncos.
• 20:02
  The Denver Broncos are the -3 favorites on the spread.
• 20:07
  The total set at 38 1/2. I like Denver in this game, but
• 20:13
  Arizona's a little bit of a wildly team, little wildly right
• 20:16
  now. It kind of Murray's playing and
• 20:20
  it makes you wonder, makes you wonder, doesn't it?
• 20:24
  You get Stidham for the Broncos. I, I don't buy into Stidham.
• 20:30
  I like the underdogs this weekend, a little bit like the
• 20:35
  Cardinals to win this game, but I'm not too firm on it.
• 20:39
  So I'm going to go. You know, Cardinals would give
• 20:42
  you my pick because I always give you the pick on who wins.
• 20:44
  So we said Cardinals win because if we were doing pigskin, pick
• 20:48
  em. That's how I would do it.
• 20:49
  Just pick a winner. No money, no, nothing like that.
• 20:52
  Just pick a winner, Cardinals win, then look where you could
• 20:57
  make money on the spread. A nice plus three on the
• 21:03
  Cardinals right there to figure something out here because
• 21:07
  they're kind of rough. They're looking a little rough
• 21:09
  and tumble, not like bad rough, rough and tumble.
• 21:13
  And then we get the total 38 1/2.
• 21:16
  I don't know, that might be hard to get.
• 21:18
  But ladies and gentlemen, that will wrap up our program for
• 21:21
  tonight. The last thing I'll leave you
• 21:23
  with is President Trump and Russia's President Putin's
• 21:29
  summit in Alaska lasted over three hours.
• 21:33
  And I think there was a lot of progress made on ending the war
• 21:37
  in Ukraine. And what I will say is that I
• 21:41
  also read that President Trump spoke with Ukrainians, President
• 21:47
  Zelensky, right after the meeting with Putin, and they
• 21:53
  spoke for a few hours as well. So this is a positive
• 21:58
  development. I think we can all agree on one
• 22:01
  thing. We want the war to end and we
• 22:06
  want peace, but more importantly, we want the
• 22:11
  bloodshed to stop. Enough of the killing.
• 22:17
  It's painful to watch. And I believe President Trump
• 22:21
  did the right thing by saying to Putin, if you're ever going to
• 22:26
  restore your image, you're going to have to end this war.
• 22:31
  There's no other way around it. So hopefully that got through.
• 22:36
  I think that message got through.
• 22:37
  But another little tidbit I will give to you was that Melania
• 22:42
  Trump wrote a letter. Our first lady of the United
• 22:46
  States wrote a letter to Putin basically saying, think of the
• 22:52
  children in Ukraine. It's time to end the war, ladies
• 22:57
  and gentlemen, just like the hands of time, I'm turning it
• 23:03
  over to you. Goodnight and God bless Psalm
• 23:07
  37, four KJV. Make sure to check out my new
• 23:13
