NFL Betting Trends: Preseason Records

Outcomes of preseason games rarely have anything to do with the talent on the respective teams, since the majority of the games are played by second-, third- and fourth-stringers.

Some coaches care about winning preseason games, while others do not. Thus, betting on coaches with great preseason records is an easy way to make money.

Here are recent preseason records for every coach in the NFL. Keep in mind that these records are STRAIGHT UP; not against the spread. The reason for this is because most preseason spreads are close to three, meaning the winner usually covers.
