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.

Jack Del Rio has the record advantage over Andy Reid, especially in Week 1 of preseason tilts. Also, note that the numerous injuries the Eagles have incurred thus far could make them more cautious in this contest. Jacksonville, meanwhile, has something to prove after being ragged on the entire offseason.

Ken Whisenhunt's preseason record is abysmal. The fact that he has to make sure Matt Leinart is prepared kind of scares me, but Whisenhunt was 0-4 in the preseason back in 2007 when Leinart was going into the season as the starter.

It's no secret the Colts don't give a damn about the preseason. Mike Singletary, on the other hand, is one of the most intense people to ever walk on this planet. He'll fully expect his team to come away with a victory here, especially after losing to the Colts last year.
