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 in the division .
AFC South
Houston Texans
Head Coach: Gary Kubiak – 5th year
As head coach of the Texans over the past 4 seasons Kubiak has shown a small profit going 9-7 SU. However where the real money can be made on the Texans in the preseason is on the total as we have seen the Over go 9-3 over the past 4 seasons under Kubiak.
Probable preseason quarterback rotations: Matt Schaub, Dan Orlovsky, John David Booty
Indianapolis Colts
Head Coach: Jim Caldwell – 2nd year
With Jim Caldwell taking over as head coach, and with the Colts having a new offensive coordinator, OL coach, and defensive coordinator, Indianapolis went 1-3 against the spread last year in the preseason. One trend we still have to watch with Indianapolis is how poorly they play in their last preseason game of the year going 1-7 against the spread the last 8 years. This year the Colts finish out the preseason as they host the Bengals once again on September 2nd.
Probable preseason quarterback rotations: Peyton Manning, Curtis Painter, Tom Brandstater, and Tim Hiller.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Head Coach: Jack Del Rio – 8th year
The Jaguars are sure known for their defense in the regular season. However head coach Jack Del Rio has pulled in the reins during the last 5 preseason’s allowing the Jaguars to open things up offensively as they work on improving their passing game. As a result the over has gone 14-6. Look for this trend to again be a money maker this year as the odds makers continue to post low totals on all of the Jacksonville preseason games. Plus while most teams just want to go thru the motions in their final preseason game, the Jaguars are just the opposite as they have won their last preseason game the last 4 years winning 2 of them outright as a dog.
Probable preseason quarterback rotations: David Garrard, Luke McCown, and Trevor Harris.
Tennessee Titans
Head Coach: Jeff Fisher – 16th year
A strong preseason trend has developed for head coach Jeff Fischer over the past 5 years as he has sure opened things up offensively in the Titans last preseason game of the year seeing 222 points scored in these games. This year’s last preseason game is against the Saints on September 2nd.
Probable
preseason quarterback rotations:
Vince Young, Kerry Collins, Chris Simms, and Rusty Smith.
