The long anticipated start to the football season is just about here with the Hall of Fame game kicking off tomorrow night! With that begins the excitement of Football along with numerous opportunities for profits! There are many contrary thoughts on whether or not money can be made during the Pre-Season as the amount of minutes starters play can be very unpredictable. However, I am in the camp, that if you studying the proper trends and angles you will most always come out ahead! So, with that thought in mind, below are some winning ATS Trends and Angles for the first full week of the NFL Pre-Season!

NY Giants vs Detroit:

NY is 8-3 SU and ATS in the L11 Pre-Season games but only 3-9 ATS vs the NFC while Detroit coach Marinelli is 0-3 ATS as a favorite and 3-9-2 as a Home Favorite in game one. Prediction: Slight edge to the Giants.

Baltimore vs New England:

Baltimore is 0-4 ATS with playing away in game one of the Pre-Season and only 6-13-1 ATS versus the AFC. New England is 5-0-3 ATS in game one of the Pre-Season. Prediction: Look for New England to roll

Philadelphia vs Pittsburgh:

Philadelphia is 1-3 ATS in this series and a horrible 0-4 ATS in Game one. For over/under players, Pittsburgh is 8-1 Under versus the NFC. Prediction: Philadelphia coach Reid has proven over the years that he could card less about the Pre-Season. Look at Pittsburgh in this one.

Dallas vs San Diego:

San Diego head coach Turner is just 11-14 SU and 8-16-1 ATS during the Pre-Season. Dallas is 13-3 SU and ATS in their L16 pre-season games outside of their conference including a perfect 5-0 ATS as a dog. Prediction: Take the 'Boys in this one.
