AFC South Preseason Report

Many handicappers have the opinion that the preseason games should be left alone and not bet on. I feel just the opposite. I feel the NFL preseason is a great opportunity to start and build a nice bankroll for the upcoming regular season, especially this year with only 3 new head coaches throwing their hat into the ring. If you do your homework the preseason games offer the betting public a tremendous chance to make a ton of money. This year as an example we have some teams on a 10-0, 11-1, and 15-2 preseason runs. Doesn’t get much better than that guys!!!

In the preseason, many head coaches have a track record of wanting to win and some just don’t care and are just preparing for the regular season. You can find many games this preseason where you can get a definite edge. Below I have put together a list of all 32 teams with a breakdown of things to look for this preseason that will give you that winning advantage.

With 29 returning head coaches this season look for these solid early trends to really hold up big time for this preseason.

OK so here are this year’s highly rated preseason money making trends for each team in the division .

AFC South

Houston Texans

Head Coach: Gary Kubiak – 5th year

As head coach of the Texans over the past 4 seasons Kubiak has shown a small profit going 9-7 SU. However where the real money can be made on the Texans in the preseason is on the total as we have seen the Over go 9-3 over the past 4 seasons under Kubiak.

Probable preseason quarterback rotations: Matt Schaub, Dan Orlovsky, John David Booty

Indianapolis Colts

Head Coach: Jim Caldwell – 2nd year

With Jim Caldwell taking over as head coach, and with the Colts having a new offensive coordinator, OL coach, and defensive coordinator, Indianapolis went 1-3 against the spread last year in the preseason. One trend we still have to watch with Indianapolis is how poorly they play in their last preseason game of the year going 1-7 against the spread the last 8 years. This year the Colts finish out the preseason as they host the Bengals once again on September 2nd.

Probable preseason quarterback rotations: Peyton Manning, Curtis Painter, Tom Brandstater, and Tim Hiller.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Head Coach: Jack Del Rio – 8th year

The Jaguars are sure known for their defense in the regular season. However head coach Jack Del Rio has pulled in the reins during the last 5 preseason’s allowing the Jaguars to open things up offensively as they work on improving their passing game. As a result the over has gone 14-6. Look for this trend to again be a money maker this year as the odds makers continue to post low totals on all of the Jacksonville preseason games. Plus while most teams just want to go thru the motions in their final preseason game, the Jaguars are just the opposite as they have won their last preseason game the last 4 years winning 2 of them outright as a dog.

Probable preseason quarterback rotations: David Garrard, Luke McCown, and Trevor Harris.

Tennessee Titans

Head Coach: Jeff Fisher – 16th year

A strong preseason trend has developed for head coach Jeff Fischer over the past 5 years as he has sure opened things up offensively in the Titans last preseason game of the year seeing 222 points scored in these games. This year’s last preseason game is against the Saints on September 2nd.

Probable preseason quarterback rotations: Vince Young, Kerry Collins, Chris Simms, and Rusty Smith.
