Arizona Cardinals (1-2) at Tennessee Titans (1-1)
Line: Titans 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.

Ken Whisenhunt doesn't put too much stock into these preseason games. He's coming off a win, so maybe he'll take it easy. Mike Munchak, on the other hand, has shown that he cares more. There's not a big sample size though, which is why I'm making this a small play.

The Eagles just played Monday in what was their dress rehearsal. They'll be sitting their starters. The Browns, as a young team, can't really afford to do that. I think that gives them an edge, especially considering that they're coming off much more rest.

The Patriots sat all of their starters Monday night, so they're going to treat this game as their dress rehearsal. Greg Schiano hasn't shown that he cares about preseason contests, so New England might be able to win easily.

Mike Tomlin loves winning preseason games. Chan Gailey doesn't. The one thing keeping me from making this a huge play is that Gailey is 2-0 in Week 3. However, he beat Marvin Lewis and Jack Del Rio in those contests, and those coaches definitely didn't take their matchup as seriously as Tomlin will.

It wasn't a fluke them giving up 41 pts to the jags ! They're far and away the worst team in the comp big ryan 12-17-2011 10:26 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.143 (total posts: 12) 17     12 Tampa is gutless. I'm so sick of watching Tony Romo having 8 sec to throw the ball every drop back. i thought after giving up 40 to the Jags they might show some balls but apparently they have been castrated and their coach is a retard. i love how everyone keeps betting chalk laying over a touchdown in all of these prime time games and they are all hitting!!!!!joe public is feeling very sharp these days...

To be on the safe side I'm teasing it down to 6 and 6.5 pts on a couple separate bets. The reason behind this is I really believe TB has quit on their coach and packed up the season (they've quit in 2 games this year: once in SF and last week against Jax). They clearly do not care and guys like Blount and Talib are cancers to their team). Gator 12-17-2011 02:15 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.208 (total posts: 36) 13     13 ....add BYU -4.5... ....this is strictly a Vegas line movement play....line opened at -3 and public is hammering Baylor yet the line keeps moving backwards....something is up and I'm gonna bet on the Vegas side and take BYU....word... cmon 12-17-2011 01:55 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.217 (total posts: 1) 19     19 I think if Vegas wanted the public to take Tampa they would move the line to 9. 80% on the cowboys. I like Tampa and under. Gator 12-17-2011 01:29 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.208 (total posts: 36) 22     16 ....and for any College Bowlers I really like Utah State -1.5... Didn't run any numbers in that as College Football isn't really my thing but in the past I have had a lot of success betting strictly on teams who are pumped up about being at a certain bowl vs teams that are dissapointed being in the bowl game that they made. This game fits that model perfectly.... Chad 12-17-2011 12:55 pm xxx.xxx.xxx1.77 (total posts: 82) 18     15 As talented as the Cowboys are, don't they always seem to disappoint ATS? I think Tampa Bay will relish in the spoiler role.
