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 North

Baltimore Ravens

Head Coach: John Harbaugh – 3rd year

The Ravens in the past five preseason’s have played some really low scoring games with the under going a money making 14-5. This trend has continued with new head coach John Harbaugh playing it close to the vest as the Ravens watched the under go 6-2 in his first 2 years has head coach.  

Probable preseason quarterback rotations:  Joe Flacco, Troy Smith, John Beck.

 

Cincinnati Bengals

Head Coach: Marvin Lewis – 8th year

Even though the Bengals are just a .500 team in the preseason over the past few years, boy does Cincinnati finish strong in the preseason winning the past 4 years against the Colts in their final preseason tune up including a blowout win against Indianapolis 38-7 last season. This year’s play is again against the Colts on the road on September 2nd. These games against the Colts are not even close as the Bengals have outscored them by a combined 99–23 over the past 4 years.

Probable preseason quarterback rotations: Carson Palmer, J.T. O’Sullivan, and Jordan Palmer.

Cleveland Browns

Head Coach: Eric Mangini – 2nd year

In his first year as the Browns head coach Mangini was just a .500 coach going 2-2. However the Browns and Bears in their final preseason game each year has seen the Under be the right side in 5 of the last 6 years. Watch this match up once again this year on September 2nd.

Probable preseason quarterback rotations: Jake Delhomme, Seneca Wallace, Colt McCoy, and Brett Ratiliff 

Pittsburgh Steelers

Head Coach: Mike Tomlin – 4th year

This is one of my strongest preseason trends to watch for as the Steelers have seen the Under go an amazing 15-2 over the past 4 years in the preseason. Last year was no different as Pittsburgh saw all 4 of their preseason games stay way under the total which has added to a perfect 6-0 run with the under over the past 2 years. 

Probable preseason quarterback rotations: Charlie Batch, Dennis Dixon, and Byron Leftwich
