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.

Rogers should not play much in this one however, their back up QB aint half bad. If the Detroit loses look for the Falcons to play everyone all game.

December is such a struggle in the NFL. Good Luck everyone!! Moses 12-28-2011 05:08 pm xxx.xxx.xxx0.88 (total posts: 3) 10     27 I guess Atlanta is locked into #6 even if they win. Doesn't that mean they're more likely to bench their starters? It's silly to think otherwise. If that's the case, as bad as Tampa is, I think the points might be a better option. Maybe it's a sharp trap. Don't know who to pick! (Sorry for another post on Atlanta) Moses 12-28-2011 05:04 pm xxx.xxx.xxx0.88 (total posts: 3) 15     10 Not sure about the Atlanta game. I would think Atlanta would play hard to avoid being matched up against New Orleans in the first week of playoffs (if NO finishes #3; doesn't matter if they finish #2). Then again, Atlanta plays late. If they see Detroit pull off a win, would Atlanta pull all their starters? Could Tampa win or cover then? I know you have zero units on the game, Walt, but this makes for a troubling situation in pick 'em (with spreads). Moses 12-28-2011 04:56 pm xxx.xxx.xxx0.88 (total posts: 3) 12     15 Walt, How can you say the Texans will win and cover if they're locked at #3? Don't all teams bench their starters in that position by the end of the game? Why risk injury? If the Saints will do it, if Green Bay will do it, why not the Texans? kadoka 12-28-2011 04:52 pm xxx.xxx.xxx7.59 (total posts: 6) 9     10 anyone know the weather for toledo/af game today. heard it was cold, poss rain?
