A Closer look at the First Preseason game.

      Today I thought we would talk a little more about the American Football Preseason game coming up this Sunday. The Line has moved over night, today's Line is Arizona Cardinals +3 -110 and New Orleans Saints -3 -110 and the Over/Under 35 -110. Yesterdays Line was Arizona Cardinals +3 -115 and New Orleans Saints -3 -105 and the Over/Under 35 -110 a small move but a move nonetheless.

      This is from the same Sports Book and also why I always tell you that you should check the Line regularly as it can move at anytime and also why I tell you that when you see a Line you really like you should bet it right then. Now as to why the line moved, well it could be any number of reasons, but the most likely reason is that the Sports Book had more money on one side than the other and had moved the Line to even things out and it worked and so the Line changed.

      Now as to the game itself the Arizona Cardinals and the New Orleans Saints have played each other 3 times since 2008 and New Orleans has won 2 out of 3 times. But the last time they met was October 10^th, 2010 and Arizona won. So Head to Head depending on how you look at it, it could go either way.

      In the League rankings it is Arizona Cardinals 1^st and New Orleans Saints 4^th in Offense, in Defense it is Arizona Cardinals 28^th and New Orleans Saints 25^th, in Passing it is Arizona Cardinals 1^st and New Orleans Saints 4^th, and in Rushing it is Arizona Cardinals 20^th and New Orleans Saints 9^th. As you can see they are fairly well matched with a slight edge going to New Orleans.

      Nether team is ranked very well in Defense and both have good scores in Offense and Passing, but New Orleans has a clear edge in Rushing. So most people think that New Orleans will win but that the score will be very close.

      Myself I also think that New Orleans will win, partially because they are playing at home and New Orleans, to me seams to play better when they have the home field advantage, or at least I think they do. So if I bet on this game I will take New Orleans to win buy at least 3 points or more.

      As I have said before I don't bet much on the preseason as the coaches are trying out new players and the players are just getting back to playing after the off season, so if you bet don't over do it. Well good luck with your preseason bets and I hope you are doing well betting on the Olympics.
