Let me start off by saying that I feel the NFL
preseason is a great opportunity to start and build a nice bankroll for the
upcoming regular season. Many handicappers have the opinion that the preseason
games should be left alone and not bet on. I feel just the opposite. If you do
your homework the preseason games offer the betting public a tremendous chance
to make a ton of money. In the 2007 NFL preseason at 10starpicks my preseason
selections went a documented 12-3 hitting at a solid 80%. All these plays were
found in my 2007 preseason report I released. A very important thing to remember for this
upcoming preseason is that there will be 4 new head coaches this season, so
previous preseason trends for these teams are no longer valid. However I have
found some nice hidden trends that can still show us a profit with these teams.
Here are the 4 teams with new head coaches for
the upcoming season: Atlanta - Mike Smith Baltimore - John Harbaugh Miami - Tony Sparano Washington – Jim Zorn OK so here are this year’s highly rated preseason
money making trends for each AFC West team. AFC West Denver – Head coach Mike Shanahan used to
be a solid money maker in the preseason however has gone only 4-4 against the
spread over the past 2 seasons. But what really still stands out is the Broncos
willingness to dominate in their final preseason game of the year going 7-1
against the spread in their last 8 with their only loss coming back in 04. Probable preseason quarterback rotations:
Jay Cutler, Patrick Ramsey, Darrell Hackney, Cullen Finnerty
Kansas City – One strong early trend to
watch this preseason for Kansas City is the Chiefs definitely don’t look forward
to playing their first preseason game of the year going 0-5 against the spread
the last 5 years. Plus the Chiefs overall continue to show no interest at all in
trying to win under head coach Herm Edwards in the preseason going 3-13 against
the spread over the past 4 seasons. Probable preseason quarterback rotations:
Brodie Croyle, Damon Huard, Tyler Thigpen Oakland – A couple of solid trends to
checkout for the Raiders this preseason. First of all Oakland is a perfect 4-0
against the spread at home over the past 2 years. Plus they are a solid 10-3
under during the past 3 years. Probable preseason quarterback rotations:
JaMarcus Russell, Andrew Walter, Marques Tuiasosopo San Diego – Norv Turner took over the
reins of the Chargers last season. In Turner’s last head coaching job with the
Raiders back in 04 and 05 a solid trend can be taken away from it that can give
us an edge for the Chargers preseason games. First of all in both of his dress
rehearsal games in Oakland the Raiders went 0-2 against the spread, this trend
continued for Turner last year as the Chargers lost at Arizona. So watch for
when the Chargers play the Seahawks on August 25th this year. Probable preseason quarterback rotations:
Phillip Rivers, Billy Volek, Charlie Whitehurst, Casey Bramlet.
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.
