Baltimore Ravens (0-0) at Philadelphia Eagles (0-0)
Line: Eagles by 3.
Thursday, 7:30 ET

The Game. Edge: None.
Outcomes of preseason games rarely have anything to do with the talent on the respective teams, since the majority of the games are played by second-, third- and fourth-stringers.

Some coaches care about winning preseason games, while others do not. Thus, betting on coaches with great preseason records is an easy way to make money.

Here are recent NFL Betting Trends: Preseason Records for every coach in the NFL.

John Harbaugh has the record advantage over Andy Reid, especially in Week 1 of preseason tilts. Harbaugh has never lost, while Reid is just 5-8. I went against the Eagles last year in Week 1, and came away with $300, as Jacksonville covered as three-point dogs.

MAJOR UPDATE: I'm going to scale back the Ravens pick and remove the Dolphins selection because of this article. This isn't a normal preseason, so I'd advise caution.

Angle on Dallas is they have not proved to be champs yet they have looked bad but they will step up in a game against a team that they could see in the playoffs. Okc is very good and said by some to be the team to come out of th west. Alot to prove for Dallas and main reason okc is coming off a tough game last night @ Memphis. I'm not saying dal will win but should cover 6.5 mayb lose by 3-4 or win. GLA pockets 12-29-2011 04:16 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.123 (total posts: 2) 317     185 www.BlairHattonPicks.com is a complete joke.
