Football Team Game Tonight: WFT vs Patriots Odds, Prediction, Schedule, Live Stream and TV Channel for Preseason Opener

The Washington Football Team will hit the field for their first of three preseason games on Thursday night when they’ll lock horns against the New England Patriots, who’ll be looking to rebound from their first playoff-less season since way back in 2013.

There’s dozens of storylines fans of the Football Team will be monitoring on Thursday, with the most notable being the play of Ryan Fitzpatrick. Ron Rivera confirmed to the media over the weekend that the 38-year-old will start under center, though it’s unclear when he’ll be pulled.

Fans will be intrigued to see how Washington’s vaunted defensive line manages against the Patriots’ revamped offense line. You also can’t forget about the countless players on WFT who’ll be looking to make a strong impression on the coaching staff before roster cuts.

Having said all that, the return of the NFL — even though it’s just preseason — marks the long-awaited return of betting football! Will the Football Team be favorited in its first game since its gutting playoff loss to Tampa Bay? Let’s see what the odds have to say.

Football Team vs Patriots Odds Week 1 Preseason

Betting NFL preseason isn’t for everyone, but here are the odds if you’re interested:

Spread: WFT -2.0/ Patriots +2.0

Moneyline: WFT -130/Patriots +110

Over/Under: 35.0

Football Team vs Patriots Prediction for Week 1 Preseason

It wasn’t surprising to see the over/under set at 35.0 The first week of preseason is generally a slugfest of offenses trying (and mostly failing) to establish a rhythm. Having said that, we like Washington to win this game. After all, WFT will deploy Fitzpatrick under center before he eventually gives way to Taylor Heinicke, who doesn’t shy away from the big stage.

On the flip side, the Patriots will give most of their QB reps to rookie Mac Jones, who, while impressive at camp, will have his work cut out against Washington’s defensive front.

The Football Team will take this one, 24-12.
