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 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.

I never bought into the whole Vegas fix thing but after seeing this I have to believe there is some truth to the notorious fix! How does the worst offense score 14 points within one minute against one of the best defenses in the league!!!! I got killed this week as I had the niners 5 units and had them keyed in a parley with the patriots for two units!!! Ugh! I think this will be my last week of betting for a long while at least I hope it will be maybe I will make it my new years resolution I am sick over this one!
