We hope you’re enjoying the NFL preseason as much as we are here in the Tuley’s Takes home office.
I’m sure you are if you’ve been betting Overs as they went 13-3 in Week 1 (14-3 including the Hall of Fame Game). Underdog bettors are probably also happy as dogs were 9-6 ATS this past weekend with the Dolphins-Buccaneers closing line being graded as pick-’em.
My results are pretty much in line with that at 3-2 ATS, as we went 2-1 ATS with our plays posted here in Point Spread Weekly last week (wins on the Patriots and Panthers but a bad-beat loss on the Seahawks), then I lost with a play on the Vikings on Sunday in the daily version of this column, “Tuley’s Takes Today,” at VSiN.com.
After singing the praises of betting on preseason football last week, I didn’t play on writing about it again this week, but as Al Pacino’s Michael Corleone character says in “The Godfather: Part III”: “Just when I thought I was out … they pull me back in!”
