Preseason Betting Guide for NFL Football - Part 2

 In the last article we have finished discussing some basic NFL football betting guide on the preseason.. Now let's move on to overall ATS trends, the underdogs are 406-335-27, 54.8 percent ATS in all preseason games since 2000 and because of that, it is only wise to blindly follow dogs on Week 1 and Week 4. It makes sense because those two weeks are when the starters play the least if at all. In Week 1, the coaches are still evaluating the reserves and Week 4 because starters are being rested before the season opener the following week. In totals, the 'under' is a nondescript 388-381-8 from the 2000 preseason, but as you will see once we get to our trends for each specific week, each one has a discernable total pattern. Before getting to that point, here is the average combined score per week since 2000: HOF Game + Preweek 1 - 35.0 Pre-Week 2: 37.1 Pre-Week 3 - 39.0 Pre-Week 4 - 37.3 We have combined Week 1 of preseason and the Hall of Fame Game into one week. There is a direct correlation between the scoring averages of the starters and their playing time. Games are lower scoring in Week 1 when teams are in the evaluation stage, and then the scoring increases over the next two weeks, peaking in Week 3 when starters play the longest before dropping in Week 4 when many of the starters sit. HOF Week – Pre - Week 1 All HOF and Week 1 underdogs are 108-88-10, 55.1 percent ATS, and if you are fortunate enough to find underdogs of +3 1/2 or more, they are 33-24, 57.9 percent ATS in Week 1. However, those are becoming a rare breed as only two opening games last season had lines higher than +3 at Pinnacle, and the underdogs split those games 1-1 ATS. Pre-Week 2 This week is perhaps the one with the most profit potential ATS, because of the most angles that have been profitable over the last 12 pre-seasons. These angles almost all have an inverse correlation to the team's Week1 results. This is a more specific example: All Week 2 teams that have suffered a straight-up loss are 110-76-2, 59.1 % ATS, while all those who have won are 78-112-1, 58.9 % ATS fade! Breaking down Week 2 teams off of a loss further, road teams are 54-34-1, 61.4 percent ATS and underdogs are an unbelievable 62-25-2, 71.3 percent ATS! For a 60.0% fade, home teams are 36-54 and favorites are 34-561 for a 62.2% fade. Final note: Any team that loses to any other team after a win is 63-331-1, 65.6 percent ATS. Pre-Week 3 You can expect the starters to play longest in this week and that is why it is similar to regular seasons, with games being higher scoring and favorites within reason having a chance to shine. slot gacor Pre-Week 4 From great play, we go to sloppy playing with games being dominated by reserves and thus a return to blind underdog dominance. Blindly playing all four underdogs in Week 4 has been 101-80-8, 55.7 percent ATS since 2000. This is a pattern that continued last season, when the underdogs went 9-5-1 ATS in the preseason's final week. You can win more money in the preseason than in the regular seasons (it's just as exciting in the regular-season). If you know how to place your bets, it is very likely. SO we hope that our NFL football betting guide in the preseason will help you a lot. We wish you all the best.
