<p>The Green Bay Packers will take on the Buffalo Bills in the final preseason game for both teams. Green Bay enters with losses in both of their first two contests while Buffalo has been victorious in both of their first two games.</p>



<p>The Bills began as a four-point favorite at <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/"><strong>bookmaker</strong></a>, but that has extended to eight points. Green Bay has won three of the last five meetings between these teams, including a 22-0 victory back on September 30, 2018.</p>



<h2><strong>Packers Offense Struggling</strong></h2>



<p>There is likely very little concern in Green Bay about a winless preseason, but just 21 points scored by the offense probably does have the Packers faithful a little antsy. It is not expected that quarterback Aaron Rodgers will even play for Green Bay. In fact, he has not and will not throw a pass in the preseason at all. That is the kind of perk you get when you have reached his status. Kurt Benkert threw for 151 yards and a touchdown in the loss to New York last week.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/packers/status/1430674097931886592?s=20
</div></figure>



<p>If there is one thing Green Bay will likely be looking for in this contest it is to get a little more consistency out of their defense. The Packers allowed 23.1 points per game last season, and need to improve that if they are going to take the next step in reaching the Super Bowl. That will likely mean that starters will play as much as half of this game to get them in a rhythm.</p>



<h2><strong>Bills Look to Remain Undefeated</strong></h2>



<p>Rodgers will not be the only quarterback sitting out this contest. Josh Allen will likely be on the bench as well, as the team is going to protect him heading into the regular season. That leaves Chicago Bears castoff Mitchell Trubisky as the primary signal caller for this game, and he has looked good so far, completing 20 of 28 passes in Buffalo’s 41-15 victory over Trubisky’s former team, the Chicago Bears.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/BuffaloBills/status/1430676362625392647?s=20
</div></figure>



<p>The one thing Bills’ fans want to pay attention to is the battle for the third string quarterback job. Former Georgia standout Jake Fromm is battling Davis Webb for the job, and one has to figure that Fromm will be given every opportunity to try to win that backup role.</p>



<p>The defense has looked great through the first two games, giving up 15 points to Detroit and Chicago. Neither of those teams have particularly potent offenses, but anytime you can hold an opponent to 15 points, your defense is doing something right.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Green Bay:</strong></p>



<ul><li>None</li></ul>



<p><strong>Buffalo:</strong></p>



<ul><li>5-1 ATS in their last six games.</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-green-bay-packers-vs-buffalo-bills-pick"><strong> Green Bay Packers vs Buffalo Bills Pick</strong></h2>



<p>This is clearly going to be a victory for Buffalo. They are looking to remain undefeated through the preseason, which is a big deal for a team that wants to prove themselves to be on the next tier team, maybe even a Super Bowl contender.</p>



<p>For Green Bay, this is a team that moves as their star quarterback does. Since he is out, there is not much in the covers to lead this offense. Green Bay is going to struggle and will likely be blown out in this contest.</p>





<p><strong> </strong></p>



<h2>Green Bay Packers vs Buffalo Bills Total:</h2>



<p>So, both of these teams went under 35.0 in their first preseason game and went over in their second. It is the second that I think is a much better indicator of what the score is likely to be in this contest. Both teams are going to be looking to get some rhythm going for their offenses, so this is going to be a much more dynamic performance by both groups, even if it is the backup quarterback going.</p>

<p>Saratoga will be the site of a major horse race this weekend as it’s time for the annual Alabama Stakes. This is a race that has always seemed to attract some of the top horses, and the field is loaded with top competitors again this year.&nbsp;</p>



<p>There will be eight three-year old fillies set to take to the track for the Alabama 2024, and there are some extremely tight odds for this event. A couple of horses appear to stand out above the rest of the pack, but there could be some underdogs that make a big run as well.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Here is a look at the current betting odds to win the Alabama Stakes and a bet on which horse gets it done.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pletcher Has Two Options</h2>



<p>When looking at the betting odds to win the Alabama, there are two horses trained by Todd Pletcher that are near the top of the list. One of his horses has now emerged as a clear favorite, but the other horse isn’t too far behind.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Candied has been the favorite since the field was announced, and nothing has changed as that horse now has odds sitting at +250 to come away with the win. While the odds for Candied have improved since the draw, the other horse that was trained by Pletcher has seen the odds fall a bit.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Miss Justify now has <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/bookmaker/">betting</a> odds set at +450 to win the Alabama, and that horse was once neck-and-neck with Candied. Those are still going to be the top two horses to watch, even though some other contenders have seen their odds improve. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Others in the Field</h2>



<p>There are six other horses set to run in the race, and those odds are a bit all over the place. Some have seen their betting odds improve over the last few days, while others have always been a bit of a longshot.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Power Squeeze (+400) and Just Basking (+500) are the two horses that have seen their odds improve the most, and they will now look to challenge Candied in this race. Out of that group of horses, it’s actually Just Basking that is the horse that you want to keep an eye on.</p>



<p>Chatalas and Intricate are the other two horses that could end up making a move and they have odds sitting at +800 to come up with the win. America’s Vow and Neon Icon are the other horses in this event, and their odds are currently at +1200 to come up with the win.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Picking a Winner</h2>



<p>It has been a wild and thrilling year so far in the horse racing industry, and this is a race that has historically delivered some great results. <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/bookmaker/">Betting</a> odds have been moving a ton ahead of this event, but the clear favorite has remained. </p>



<p>While there are some horses in this field that can push Candied down the final stretch, there is a clear favorite for a reason. Taking the betting odds and betting on Candied to get the win is going to be the best option to explore.</p>
