Miami Dolphins (0-1) at Carolina Panthers (0-1)
Line: Panthers by 4.
Friday, 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 don't have much for you this week because there are too many unknowns with all of these damn new coaches. Joe Philbin may want to win his first game though. He should be able to do it against Ron Rivera, who is just 1-4 in the preseason. However, there's not much data here, so this is going to be a small play.

    I don't know what Chuck Pagano wants to do in the preseason, but Mike Tomlin loves winning these meaningless games. He's coming off a loss, so he's probably pissed off.

    I normally don't bet on Andy Reid in the preseason, but there's a caveat here. The Eagles will be playing their starters into the third quarter because they can't do that next week. Thanks to a schedule screw-up, Philadelphia takes on the Browns next weekend as well as Week 1 of the regular season. In other words, Reid will be treating this like Week 3 of the exhibition campaign, which is when he usually does very well.

    Sweat Barometer picks still rolling...2-0-1 last night for a total of 15-3-1 thus far....again a warning that this winning rate is simply unsustainable but hopefully can keep rolling a bit longer....here's today picks in "tiers of preference":

    Lehigh +14.5

    North Dakota State +11

    Georgetown -5
    North Texas +4.5

    Harvard -12.5
    Fairfield +12
    Weber State -14.5 (I liked this game more but just as I went to bet it the line jumped from -13 to -14.5)...word....

    @dynamo...So the line for tonights game opened at -6.5 and has remained steady despite almost 90% of the bets being on Hou. You think double reverse psychology? Home dogs in which greater than 80% of the public is backing the favorite have fared pretty well ATS historically

    Only Walt could refer to a strip sack and and a punch-out as "fluky" fumbles.

    Nice picks last night Gator, quite the momentum you have going. Totally agree with Dynamo on Houston tonight. Look for Foster to have a big night.

    After a relatively easy bowl game #1 I'll be turning my attention to the NFL for tomorrow nights match up. Last week I had my first losing week for -11 units since early November. So lets get it back!!

    Houston Texans -6.5 (4 units)

    Vegas scooped last week with several big dogs winning outright. Players will bounce back this week and sharps and players will be on the same side after two winning weeks for the books. Look for the Texans running attack to take advantage of Indy's awful D. They should cover easily by two scores.

    24-13

    Good Luck to all: keep your eye out for my bowl game trifecta, I'm hitting all three.

    If u want a solid over play take (or look into) the Baylor v Wash game. Both teams can score and neither has a great secondary.

    @Legendary Dynamo

    What are the two other bowls that you like this year? Just looking for some more input.

    I try to stay away from totals @Chad209. The line just went up to 10 which, if you waited is a great value hook to pick up. I wouldn't move it up to 5 units but I really like la tech for 4 units, especially with the 10.
