NFL Preseason Betting – Washington Redskins at New York Jets

The focus on Saturday night in NFL preseason betting action will be in New York as Brett Favre makes his debut for the Jets at 7:00pm EST on the NFL Network. There is so much interest in the game that the NFL Network changed their broadcast schedule and will now show this game on Saturday night. "All eyes will be on him, and rightly so," Washington head coach Jim Zorn said. "He's a tremendous athlete and this is his 18th season. That's some great experience there."

Favre is expected to start and play about a quarter in Saturday's NFL preseason betting game. He will be followed by backups Kellen Clemens and Brett Ratliff. Last week Clemens played briefly and threw for 31 yards.

Ratliff was superb, throwing for 252 yards and two touchdowns in the 24-20 win over the Cleveland Browns. His target for those two touchdowns was rookie wideout David Clowney who is trying to crack the starting lineup alongside Laveranues Coles and Jerricho Cotchery.

“I was really happy with David Clowney. He had a nice day,” said head coach Eric Mangini.
