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 .
NFC West
Arizona Cardinals
Head Coach: Ken Whisenhunt – 4th year
In his 3 years as head coach of the Cardinals Ken Whisenhunt has given as some outstanding preseason trends to make some money with this year. Whisenhunt has shown no interest in winning his first or last preseason games going a perfect 0-6. So this year’s two plays to fade the Cardinals are against Houston on August 14th and against the Redskins on September 2nd.
Probable preseason quarterback rotations: Matt Leinatt, Derek Anderson, Max Hall, and John Skelton.
San Francisco 49’ers
Head Coach: Mike Singletary – 4th year
One thing you can sure say about the 49’ers and that’s they sure show up in their dress rehearsal game over the past 3 seasons going a perfect 3-0 against the spread, and all 3 were as a underdog. This year’s opponent in their dress rehearsal game will be an Oakland Raiders team that has been outscored 69-7 the past 2 years when they play all their regulars in week 3.
Probable preseason quarterback rotations: Alex Smith, David Carr, Nate Davis, and Jarret Brown
Seattle Seahawks
Head Coach: Pete Carroll – 1st year
Even though this will be Pete Carroll’s first year as head coach of the Seahawks. It’s hard to go against one of the strongest current preseason trends as Seattle is on a perfect 10-0 ATS run. If you see the Seahawks start fast under Carroll jump on them the rest of the preseason especially with this very solid quarterback rotation.
Probable preseason quarterback rotations: Matt Hasselbeck, Charlie Whitehurst, Mike Teel, and J.P. Losman
Saint Louis Rams
Head Coach: Steve Spagnuolo – 2nd year
With Steve Spagnuolo taking over as head coach of the Rams last season he immediately installed the old Giants winning ways in the preseason winning 3 games as an outright dog. Let’s look for this trend to continue this year as Spagnuolo installs more of his kind of players on the St Louis roster.
Probable
preseason quarterback rotations:
A.J. Feely, Sam Bradford, Keith Null, and Thaddeus Lewis.
