NFL Preseason Picks

Written July 21, 2009 by Jack Jones

You can make a lot of money by betting on the NFL preseason with picks from the right handicapper. Our handicappers have the experience of differentiating between the games that count (regular season) and the games that don’t (preseason). You can’t approach the two the same or else you won’t win many of your bets and will have dug yourself a whole before the real season even starts.

If you want to win with your NFL preseason picks you can’t approach these games relying on which team has the better starters or how they did last season. You have to approach these exhibition games as a completely different animal. Here are just a few of the strategies that our handicappers will use to figure out which of the NFL spreads are off and which teams will help you build your bankrolls:

Coaching Philosophies

You have to pay attention to which coaches do well in the preseason and which have not. Obviously new coaches don’t have a track record, but they tend to want to motivate a fan base. With experienced coaches you take a look at how they have approached these games in the past, did they have their guys pay attention to details, play their starters a significant amount of time, or did they let the young guys or deep on the depth chart players battle it out for positions and gain experience?

Information Is Key

Coaches will talk a lot about what they plan on doing in the preseason games. This involves how long they plan on playing their starters, if they are going to try riskier plays or just keep things conservative in order to keep guys healthy. If a team has been embarrassed in a preseason game or two, you can probably expect to see that coach wanting to see an all out effort so he knows his team is capable of performing at a high level before the regular season begins. He’ll usually blast them in the media to get them going. You’ll also want to check on weather reports and find out the motivational factors like television time before the game.

These are just a couple of the things our handicappers will look for when breaking down the games. If you want to have the best chance of coming out on top and don’t have time to dive deep into all of the games yourself, then get signed up for the NFL preseason picks offered by our experts. You won’t be disappointed.
