The NFL preseason is in full swing, wrapping up its second week of action Sunday night.While the regular season is still a few weeks away, there are still plenty of storylines and betting opportunities in the preseason.Every team will play its final game over the next week and then prepare for Week 1, which kicks off Sept. 5 with the Chiefs and Ravens from Kansas City.Trends of the weekUnders are 26-7 (78%) in NFL preseason games to this point in the schedule, including going 2-0 on Sunday.On Saturday, the Chiefs fell to the Lions 24-23. Kansas City was a 9-point favorite going into the game at the BetMGM online sportsbook. Since 2004, it was the third time a team was favored by nine or more points in a preseason game. With the Chiefs losing, those teams are now 0-3.With John Harbaugh as head coach, the Ravens have done extremely well against the spread, going 38-20-1 before this week. The trend didnt continue this week, as, although Baltimore beat Atlanta 13-12, they were 1.5-point favorites so didnt cover the spread. The Ravens were the most-bet team to cover the spread in NFL betting on Saturday.Advertisement”” style=”background-repeat: no-repeat; box-sizing: border-box !important; line-height: calc(1em + 4px); vertical-align: bottom; flex: 0 0 auto; overflow: hidden; border: 0px;”>Dricus Du Plessis solidified his belt with a fourth-round submission win over former champ Israel Adesanya at UFC 305 on Saturday.
