Jacksonville +2.5 v Las Vegas ($1.90)
The Jags look to be good value against the Raiders as both teams with new coaches on both teams square off in the Hall Of Fame Game. Pre-season games are always hard to bet but a few notes that are important. Vegas coach Josh McDaniels is 2-6 in pre-season games while Jacksonville coach Doug Pederson is 8-8. The Raiders left camp a day early to return to McDaniels’ home state and visit the Hall while the Jags trained. And Jacksonville will play two QBs with a strong pre-season record.

Under 31.5 Jacksonville-Las Vegas ($1.80)
The under has long been the play in the Hall of Fame Game with seven of the last nine games going under the total. Only one team has reached 20 points over that time frame with both teams playing plenty of backups and guys trying to make rosters. Playbooks are limited. And the wind is up. There is only one way to bet the total.
