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.

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.

A long time Walt fan 10-30-2011 08:29 pm xxx.xxx.xxx2.43 (total posts: 20) 65     12 We can talk all we want about betting on guys like Gabbert, Tebow, and Painter. But, Gabbert and Tebow won their games straight up last week and Painter covered a lot of games early in the year. But, I will give Walt this simple advice. Start spending more of your time on handicapping. I work 40 hours a week... at least. I find it hard to believe you spend 40 hours a week handicapping these games. Seems like you spend more of your time on failed attempts gaming females, hanging out at the YMCA, and walking over the Wawa every 20 minutes... and then writing about such adventures. Newsflash: We don't care about that stuff. Maybe they are fun to read about in the offseason when there is nothing going on, but for now, all we care about is betting on the right teams. You can't keep blaming this on bad luck or bad beats. If this truly is your "job", you need to put more time into it. Put more time and effort into your work and less time into that other crap and maybe you will see some results. Hopefully this pitiful week wakes you up.
