If you're willing to stay up late on Thursday night there are two NFL preseason games to bet on, and we are fortunate enough to have a free pick for the later game between the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons. The tip is courtesy of Mycapper.com, and these American sports handicappers certainly know a thing or two about the NFL.
NFL Exhibition games are a great opportunity to make some serious money as there are very noteworthy trends that can impact results, such as which coaches take them seriously, which starters are going to be rested or traditionally start a bit rusty, and prior preseason records for teams.
NFL Free Pick: Patriots at Falcons - Bet on the OVER for total points (current total is 37 points)
Analysis by MasterBets: Last week both these teams were good to us. The Falcons were my strongest NFL play of the week and they delivered by whipping the Chiefs. The Patriots also made us good money when they beat the Saints in week 1. The lessons learned from this are many, but the main one is that both these teams are treating the preseason seriously and look sharp. The feeling is that neither defense is quite up to speed though and our data suggests a total points number of 41 points for this game.
The number is at 37 points, already higher than most preseason totals, which indicates that the odds makers feel this one could produce points. I have to agree. Take the OVER here.
The other NFL game for the night is between the Bills and the Colts. Our suggestion here is to take the Under for this one and to expect a bold showing from the Colts. But that's just our opinion and we're not experts!
