Even with preseason NFL games, nothing can be easy. This past weekend proved no exception. I e-mailed a friend of mine who covers an NFL team and wanted to get a gauge on the state of the team going into the Giants-Ravens game. “Why would you bet on these preseason games?” was his response. Quite frankly, I replied, that if you pick your spots, you can find some good spots. Unfortunately, he was no help with his game. I was on my own to pick out some good plays. As usual, the NFL serves up more ups and downs than your county fair roller coaster.

The Carolina Panthers have had an awful preseason. In their first two games the Panthers have not been able to score an offensive touchdown. First-string, second-string, third-string, whatever-string – no offensive touchdowns in two games. Not good. The lone Panther touchdown came on a 31 yard fumble return by C.J. Wilson in week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens. Then John Kasay missed the PAT. It has been that kind of preseason for the Panthers.

Saturday night is the annual NFL preseason Battle of the Bay with the Oakland Raiders hosting the San Francisco 49ers. The two teams have been impressive in preseason play.

Coming off a 2009 season in which the Bills went 6-10 with a -68 point differential, Vegas has set the 2010 Regular season win total for the Bills at 5.5. The Bills were 30th in offense and 19th in defense. Pinnacle has the under at -140 and Bodog has the under at -150 so the early bettors are shorting the Bills hard. Will the coaching change from Dick Jauron to Chan Gailey breathe new life into the franchise or will the lack of firepower on offense doom them? The Bookbeater likes the under.

After a 2009 season in which the Bears went 7-9 with a -48 point differential, the 2010 Regular season win total has been set at 8. It seems like Vegas has set this number properly because they are getting roughly the same amount on both sides. Bodog has the over at -120 while Bookmaker has the under at -120. A bookmaker’s dream because he’ll collect his vig without risk but a tough call for a bettor. The Bookbeater would play the under if he had to but would likely pass.

After a 2009 season in which the Bengals went 10-6 with a +14 point differential, Vegas has set the 2010 Regular season win total at 8. The bookmakers seem to be getting roughly the same amount of early betting on the over -110 on Bodog and the under -114 on Pinnacle. The 2009 season was a pleasant surprise for Bengal fans in that they won the AFC North. The offense was 24th in the NFL while the defense was 4th. Defensive guru Marvin Lewis finally got the Bengals to stop teams and the emergence of RB Cedric Benson added toughness to the offense. While the Bengals had a strong off-season the brutal schedule has the Bookbeater thinking under.
