Many handicappers
have the opinion that the preseason games should be left alone and not bet on. I
feel just the opposite. I feel the NFL preseason is a great opportunity to
start and build a nice bankroll for the upcoming regular season, especially this
year with only 3 new head coaches throwing their hat into the ring. If you do
your homework the preseason games offer the betting public a tremendous chance
to make a ton of money. This year as an example we have some teams on a 10-0,
11-1, and 15-2 preseason runs. Doesn’t get much better than that guys!!!
In the preseason, many head coaches have a track record of wanting to win and
some just don’t care and are just preparing for the regular season. You can find
many games this preseason where you can get a definite edge. Below I have put
together a list of all 32 teams with a breakdown of things to look for this
preseason that will give you that winning advantage.
With 29 returning head coaches this season look for these solid early trends to really hold up big time for this preseason.
OK so here are this year’s highly rated preseason money making trends for each team starting with the AFC.
AFC East
Buffalo Bills
Head Coach: Chan Gailey - 1st year
The Bills are a perfect 6-0 against the spread in week # 1 of the preseason over the past 6 years. This is developing into one of my strongest preseason trends. This year’s play is on August13th as the Bills will face the Redskins. However in his two years in Dallas as head coach Gailey was a horrible 2-8 ATS
Probable preseason quarterback rotations: Trent Edwards, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Brian Brohm, and Levi Brown.
Miami Dolphins
Head Coach: Tony Sparano – 3rd year
Miami – With Bill Parcells taking over as executive VP for football operations of the Dolphins, and surrounding himself with all of his Dallas buddies including Tony Sparano. Have to look for continued improvement from Miami this preseason as Parcells always tried to win in the preseason. Even when he took over a bad Cowboys team he immediately started winning in the preseason.” Well this has turned an immediate profit as the Dolphins have won 7 of their 8 preseason games over the past two years including a perfect 4-0 last year.
Probable preseason quarterback rotations: Chad Henne, Chad Pennington, Pat White, and Tyler Thigpen.
New England Patriots
Head Coach: Bill Belichick – 11th year
New England – Belichick and the Patriots used to be a big money maker in the preseason thru the years. However since the Super Bowl rings have added up the preseason has just become a waste of time. Especially in the early preseason games as the Patriots have gone 1-5 ATS in their first 2 two preseason games over the past 3 seasons
Probable preseason quarterback rotations: Tom Brady, Brain Hoyer, Jeff Rowe, and Zac Robinson.
NY Jets
Head Coach: Rex Ryan – 2nd year
When Rex Ryan took over as the Jets new head coach last season everyone thought he would bring over the Ravens tough defense. He sure did in the regular season; however in the preseason Ryan cared less about showing his defense off as the Over was a perfect 4-0. So let’s look for more of the same this year with the over being the solid play in every Jets preseason game.
Probable
preseason quarterback rotations:
Mark
Sanchez,
Kellen Clemens,
Erik Ainge, and
Kevin
O’Connell.
