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.

    I can't believe there is a legitimate chance he is going to get every single game wrong. I've never seen anything like this.

    I wish walt would just man up and admit he is terrible. No more BS excuses. Just come out and say i'm flat terrible this year and don't blame officials, bogus covers, "other sharps are losing too", and some other excuses i'm probably missing. I respect a man that owns his mistakes. Not one that makes excuses for them.

    Unreal!!!
    There is no doubt now that chebumski has all the website traffic, that there is a conspiracy in place with the bookies. No one could actually suck this bad on mltiple unit bets. I am broke because his persuasiveness and in depth analysis has shifted my bets. He is an absolute money making genius. Reveal the scam FACKER

    Wow going 0-6 takes a certain amount of skill. I wonder what the excuses will be tomorrow... maybe the refs fixed the games? Or some cheap backdoor/frontdoor cover? Or maybe some special teams TD? It's kind of fun to guess which excuse we'll see. I like the site, but Walt you gotta stop making stupid excuses. I know you were ok in past years but 8 weeks is not a fluke

    We will have to wait for Walt to summarize his pick totals on Tuesday. He will probably say he went 4-0-1 in the morning games.

    Boycott the advertisers on this site until Walt starts winning again.
    Let me "guarantee" something.
    If he starts losing advertising revenue, he will start making some changes/effort to his picks

    Cmon guys! Walt wouldn't be down too bad if Houston didn't "screw" him and hit that FG at the end! I mean, Gabbert went 10-30 passing. That team definitely deserved to cover!! Good pick Walt!

    No doubt in my mind some of the early games were fixed. Vegas has been getting pounded this year and in the early games, none of the heavily bets teams covered.
