Miami Dolphins (0-1) at Carolina Panthers (0-1)
Line: Panthers by 4.
Friday, 8:00 ET

The Game. Edge: None.
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.

I don't have much for you this week because there are too many unknowns with all of these damn new coaches. Joe Philbin may want to win his first game though. He should be able to do it against Ron Rivera, who is just 1-4 in the preseason. However, there's not much data here, so this is going to be a small play.

    I don't know what Chuck Pagano wants to do in the preseason, but Mike Tomlin loves winning these meaningless games. He's coming off a loss, so he's probably pissed off.

    I normally don't bet on Andy Reid in the preseason, but there's a caveat here. The Eagles will be playing their starters into the third quarter because they can't do that next week. Thanks to a schedule screw-up, Philadelphia takes on the Browns next weekend as well as Week 1 of the regular season. In other words, Reid will be treating this like Week 3 of the exhibition campaign, which is when he usually does very well.

    Still a ton of bad bets imo but I think you'll win more than once this week. So its kinda like coming in 4th place at the special olympics.

    @FUqer

    IMO I feel like keeping a good RB like Gore or MJD is better then trading them away to as you said "a rival" maybe try to counter for him to give you another reciever. Gore and MDJ are 2nd round draft picks in many leagues, I consider VJ a 4-5th round pick in many leagues so were not getting much value in return. Well I think VJ upside will grow since like you said they are a 2nd half of a season team, with Rivers struggling this year more then the previous years, it really has me worried. Gates will steal catches as well once he is 100%. Tough call I think if your not on the Nate Washington bandwagon, try to pick up Jerome Simpson. Or like I said before counter for VJ and another reciever on his team. If that isn't a good option trade someone else in your league who is desperate for a solid RB, that way you could get a kings ransom for a good WR.

    @Joe Spencer

    I do 6 teamers every week and hit on them quite often.

    My favorite sixer this week would be.

    Atlanta -7.5
    49ers -4
    Raiders -7
    Packers -4
    Bengals +3
    Bears +8.5

    Them spreads you have are kind out of wack.

    Atlanta is -7.5
    Packers are -4
    Bears are +8.5

    Out of the spreads you have I would prolly go with...

    Dolphins +10
    Bucs +10
    Raiders -7
    Philly -3
    Browns +14
    Giants +10

    We have a six-team parlay pick sheet at work with the following spreads:

    Atlanta -14 at Indy; NYJ at Buff -3; Sea at Dallas -14; Miami at KC -10; SF -10 at Wash; Cleve at Hou -14; TB at NO -10; Den at Oak -7; Cincy -3 at Tenn; NYG at NE -10; Stl at Ari -3; GB -7 at SD; Balt at Pitt -3 and Chi at Philly -3.

    Which 6 should I play with most confidence?

    This is the 49's 5th trip to the eastern time zone this year! Brutal schedule, there coach has done a brilliant job managing this and his team believes in him. Walt read what you write. My units big time go to the 49's. Could you imagine the 49's could possibly have home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Look at there schedule.

    I don't see how the Dolphins could possibly beat us at home. This one could be uglier for Moore than it was for Palmer and Boller two weeks ago.
    Nor will they not befocused for this one. this is a must win, the rest of the schedule is brutal, except for the 2 bronco games.

    Uh, I think picking against the Steelers this week is kinda genius. The Ravens match up well against them, and even though the Steelers are "out for revenge" I think they'll be lucky to scrape out a 1 point win. Ravens +3.5 is one of my favorite plays this week.
