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.

    Gator has had some tough days lately. I think he should come back and hand out some more picks on here. I went to line.com and took a look and from what I saw, he was at 56% over there since his start.

    I was thinking of taking that game but the heat always get up big and blow leads wen their stars go to the bench 7.5 has dropped and is prolly worth taking I'm not gonna take that chance. My pick tonight is the nets 11.5 reason is nets have been embarrassed ere game this year( even the Washington game that they won) 11.5 is a lil high this should be a single digit loss going to atl to get revenge their shots will fall. This is not my highest cofidence pick but let's see what happens. P.s another reason I stay away from heat is bc I can't stand cheering for them. Lol
