Patriots vs. Commanders odds and prop bets for Preseason Week 3
By Dean Jones
The Washington Commanders will have a national NFL audience watching their final preseason game. Dan Quinn's men are on home soil against the New England Patriots, which will be on NBC and is being called by Cris Collinsworth and Mike Tirico.
Quinn's given his top stars plenty of game time over the opening two preseason contests. That won't be the case this time around, so the onus is on those further down the depth chart to stake one more big claim before final cuts.
Adam Peters will have a good indication of where this roster is and what more is needed. Trading wide receiver Jahan Dotson was another example of his aggressive nature. Expect the same trend to continue in the days ahead as the Commanders move into what will hopefully become a prosperous new era for one of the league's most historic franchises.
Finishing their preseason games on a high would be nice. However, getting the players through unscathed will be the primary objective for Quinn and his staff before attention turns to Week 1 at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Jayden Daniels won't be suiting up in this one after the Commanders officially named him their starting quarterback this week. That might not be the case with New England, who look set to give Drake Maye some involvement with the primetime spotlight glaring.
