NFL preseason betting concepts for 2023
Betting the preseason is an altogether different challenge than the regular season. The goals teams share in these contests are never the same. In any given exhibition tilt, one of the teams may be playing to win and build momentum, while the other may be simply hoping to get through unscathed. If you go through the recent game logs of teams, you’ll see that certain coaches seem to believe in different preseason playing strategies. Nevertheless, in any grouping of games that provide enough data, I am always able to pull out worthwhile nuggets that bettors can use to their advantage.
Using some foundation principles as the basis for them, take a look at eight different betting concepts I was able to uncover after analyzing my preseason database from over the last decade or so, plus some of the top team-by-team situational trends that will be in play for the next few weeks.
All of these angles will be tracked and qualified on a week-to-week basis this NFL preseason in our upcoming VSiN Analytics NFL Preseason reports.
