I do not play my preseason games big at all.. maybe half a unit or so. For the most part, These games are unpredictable. However, you can find some value if you follow the teams beat writers and read, read, and read some more. These are preseason recommendations that I do not count towards my record and unit count, win or lose. Hoping to share some info to everyone, but remember, don't bet crazy amounts on these games!
Browns PK -110 *WINNER *
- The preseason is mostly about what coaches and teams show urgency to win. Some teams treat the games much more seriously then others do. I think this game is one of those. Browns head coach Hue Jackson preached urgency after his team went 0-4 in last years preseason. "I do not want to go 0-4 again. I don't want to feel like that. I don't think this team deserves that. We need to go out and play good in front of our fans and go win, I don't care what we are playing. I just think that has go to be our mindset. I think the mindset is different then what it was last year. If we are going to play, we need to go win. Everybody says that, but I mean it. We need to win". The Browns are far more likely to play their team starters longer then the Saints would with vet QB Drew Brees and vet head coach Sean Payton. The Browns are also in the middle of a three way QB Competition, which only helps our bet.
EAGLES/PACKERS O20.5 -110 FIRST HALF *WINNER*
- I am playing this game smaller then the Browns game, so bet accordingly. Brett Hundley will play the first half for Green Bay, and the Packers goal this preseason is to showcase hundley to the rest of the league to try to increase his trade value. So I expect them to be aggressive with Hundley this whole preseason. Hundley did not play in last years preseason due to injury but in 2015 he lit it up, having 7 TDS and 1 INT. The Packers also have one of the deepest WR cores in the preseason, which is a plus against the eagles league worst cornerbacks. Nick Foles isn't playing for Philly which is not ideal but Carson Wentz will get 1-2 series against the porous packers secondary, and Matt Mcgloin is an experienced backup to play in the second quarter. The eagles have some strong depth in their skill positions (Agholor, burton, RB). At 20.5 which is a key number this is slightly too low
Cardinals ML FIRST HALF -150 *WINNER*
- Those who have followed me know I rarely play a game with this much juice.. buts it's worth the squeeze, for lack of a better term. The Cardinals are planning on playing Carson Palmer and the rest of the teams starters for possibly the entire first quarter, and word is they will possibly will play a few starters with drew Stanton in the second quarter. The Raiders will be without multiple key starters such as Cooper,Penn, Mack.. and the prediction is from raiders beat writers that Carr will not play, and if he does, it will be for a extremely short amount of time. The Cardinals also have the benefit of this being the second preseason game for them, while it is the Raiders first preseason game. With the edges we have in this game, Worth a shot on a small play IMO.
