    Underdog ML

    Why do you guys try to cap preseason? Blind bet .25u on every underdog ML (except when my Panthers are favored, I just can't bet against them - had over instead last night).

    Just enough to keep it interesting (due to # of games) and more times than not it turns a profit. Good start this season.

    To steal from a post here at SBR since I couldnt find the actual stat:

    Looking now at overall ATS trends, the underdogs are 439-366-28, 54.5 percent ATS in all preseason games since 2000
    --

    That's a small profit but why do that when a large % of those are winning SU. Just look at this week's results. I'd be very surprised if I lose money this preseason after this week.

    (Again - used some judgement in the Miami/Jax game since it was a PK but since Miami was technically favored I bet against the trend. Also, I won't bet against my Panthers)

    Looking good for a +190 hit today too.

    Safe to say this one is over... 13-4 SU for the week (inc HOF)

    +13.04u if you bet 1U (and had the two changes I posted above)
    +3.26u for me for the week (.25u per game) - not bad considering no real work was involved.

    Lets see how Wk2 goes... making a judgement call on Detroit since books are split but since they opened as the dog we'll go that way.

    401 Detroit Lions pk -110
    403 Atlanta Falcons +165
    405 Carolina Panthers +155
    407 San Diego Chargers +220
