Philadelphia Eagles (0-0) at Pittsburgh Steelers (0-0)
Line: Steelers by 3.
Thursday, 8:00 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.

I was cautious last week because of the lockout, but I think things should be back to normal now. Mike Tomlin looked like he was going to cry after the loss to Washington. He's one of the most intense people on the planet, so I have to believe that he'll rebound with a victory over Andy Reid, who doesn't care about the preseason.

    The Colts don't give a damn about these silly preseason games. Curtis Painter and Dan Orlovsky should combine for half-a-dozen interceptions, as Mike Shanahan is going to put extra effort into figuring out who is quarterback is going to be.

    Preseason games are beneath Todd Haley, who has an abysmal 1-8 record in exhibition contests. After looking terrible in Week 1, the Ravens will look to prove that they aren't completely inept. I'd bet more units if this line wasn't so high.

    To be more specific, I think FSU's 34-0 beatdown of NC State last week has inflated the spread vs. BC this week, and I love betting against DD favorites a week after they blow someone out. Especially teams I feel are over-rated. It's not a lock but it wins for me more often than not.

    On the flip side of that, the team that got blown out in that game (NC State) I think will bounce back and beat UNC on Saturday. NC state has owned UNC the past 3 or 4 years and I expect that trend to continue. Of course NC State no longer has Russel Wilson and that might be why they beat UNC lately..

    I like BC +14.5 tonight because they're at home and Florida State is over-rated. FSU hasn't beaten a quality opponent yet, and they're just not good enough to cover 14.5.

    Something tells me I will go down long before Vegas but I will take the Broncos even though Tebow will go down before any of us. In this Bizzaro world though I predict a Charger win over the Packers and the Bears winning at Philadelpia.

    Lol, good stuff Walt.
    Maybe the systems are changing and you have to change with them, did that in NBA betting 12 years ago, or its just a rough patch. Anyways it could pave a career in stand-up for you.
    ps Don't stop the draft, its awesome. And I am expecting a nice turnaround by your handicapping soon (college BB is coming up :) )

    I'm sure you guys are as sick as we are with Walter's unimpressive picks this year, so we decided to set up a site to point out Walter's flaws! We make weekly picks, recap the games, and even poke a little fun at Walter and where he's gone wrong this week. Check it out: http://www.walterfootballsucks.com !

    This weeks power rankings, picks, and "Walter's Falters" are up already! We're updating weekly so keep checking back!

    "I'm going to be fading most publicly backed teams this week in hopes that Vegas recovers from all of their losses. If I'm going down, I'm taking the sportsbooks with me. "-Walt

    Good Point 8-Track. Cmon Walt. It's like you are giving up. That is an extremely lazy statement. Let's just go against publicly backed teams and hope Vegas has a good week, right? No wonder your analysis' contradict themselves. L-A-Z-Y.

    I agree Satan. For the last few pages I have been preaching about how this is a favorable matchup for Pitt. I think Walt and others are putting too much emphasis on the line being "curious".

    @dangers
    the line is low due to recent history of a coast to coast game..the visitor usually loses or comes out flat causing a low scoring close game

    Can someone explain to me why the 49ers are only -3.5 ? With how good there playing and vice versa for the redskins I see this one being like 34-10 49ers

    I've seen everyone saying BC is the way to go tonight, but not a lot of reasoning behind the pick.

    This seems like an obvious spot to fade the favorite, but at the same time, FSU has been one of the most dominant teams in the country over the last few weeks since they got EJ back, and their defense has been even scarier than their offense.

    If someone can explain to me how they expect BC to put up points, I'll pick them, so somebody steer me off the public bet.

    WALT YOU CANT BE SERIOUS ABOUT MIAMI WINNING IN KC CAN YOU?? THE CHIEFS FORCED PHILLIP RIVERS INTO 3 TURNOVERS AND WOULD HAVE BEEN 4 HAD FLOWERS NOT DROPPED THAT EASY PICK. MATT MOORE WILL BE SEEING RED THIS SUNDAY GUARANTEED.

    Agree with dog killer about BC +14.5. I'm all over that one too

    Also my Saturday pick of the day is NC State getting 3.5 at home vs. UNC. I live in North Carolina and State HATES UNC. Their coach will get fired if they lose to UNC this weekend. They will be UPPP for UNC. Take NC State +3.5 all day just trust me on it.

    I can't believe the line movement is actually in favor of Baltimore right now (Pitt went from -3.5 to -3.. huh?!)...

    How could anybody trust Flacco on the road against a defense that just held Brady to 17 points? His completion percentage is at a career low right now, as are his yards per attempt... if Anquan Boldin didn't save his ass for a couple drives in the 2nd half, there's a decent chance the Ravens would've been spending this week running Tyrod Taylor with the 1's. Boldin won't be of much assistance if he draws Ike Taylor on Sunday.
