Many weekend football handicappers shy away from gambling on the NFL preseason. Their idea is based on the perception that you can't bet on NFL games that are meaningless where second and third stringers will see a lot of the playing time. The truth is that this is the only time in the football season that key information is openly available to handicappers and if you are not
betting on preseason football, you are missing out on great opportunity to pad your bankroll before the real football starts. All it takes to profit is a little time spent surfing the net for information.

Each preseason, different nfl football teams have mixed purposes for the exhibition games. Some coaches may want to work on the weaknesses of their team, while others may be working on a new offensive or defensive scheme. You can’t expect any one preseason team to have the identical game plan as they did the year before.

One of the keys to success in the preseason is information. Coaches frequently give you their exact game plans. They will lay out for you exactly what their strategy and game plan is going in. Which players they want to take long looks at. The QB rotation. Whether they are going to take a long look at a running back, or a receiver. All of these things will influence the outcome of a game as well as the betting lines, both sides and totals. If a coach tells you that he is going to take a long look at a rookie defensive back, and you know Terrell Owens is going to play against him for 2 quarters, well, he may very well get smoked frequently.

In every preseason, there are a few games that feature one coach that wants to give his starters and 2nd teamers most of the playing time, while the opposing coach is looking to evaluate personnel at the bottom of the roster. Also look for teams that have started 0-2 straight up, and are returning home for the 3rd preseason game, especially when the coaches have taken some criticism for the team?s poor showing in the local papers. That is usually an excellent spot to back the home team in need of a win, especially when they are facing a team that doesn?t have the same motivation.

If you follow these simple guidelines, August can be a very profitable month for pre season NFL bettors. Even in meaningless preseason games, there are plenty of spots in which the informed bettor can boost his bankroll before the regular season begins.
