Betting Trends: Early Game Alert


Mike Holmgren has always had trouble playing 1 p.m. games on the East Coast.

The "Early Game Alert" is a trend that has puzzled bettors for years. What to do about West Coast teams that are playing an early game on the East Coast?

What's the big deal? Since players and coaches have to wake up three to four hours before kickoff, the teams that are studied in this trend have to wake up around 6 a.m. PST. And I think it's safe to say that most NFL players don't go to sleep before midnight. Just a hunch.

Here is how different coaches have handled this trend. As you can imagine, some coaches prepare their teams well for an early kickoff. Others... well, see for yourself.
