It's that time of year boys and girls. Pro football preseason action is back and it's time for bettors to bust open the sportsbooks. With that being said, it’s important to remember that the exhibition season is tough to predict. Here’s a quick checklist to work through as you sort through the games to look for potential betting opportunities.

How does the team typically approach the preseason?

As mentioned, some of the more competitive head coaches go for it during the preseason, while others might be more inclined to lay back.  Previous records mean that much less for teams with new head coaches though. The same can also be true for offensive and defensive coordinators, especially if they are trying to employ a new system.

Is there any insight from news and notes surrounding the game?

While it might only be the preseason, there are still plenty of game previews and coach sound bytes to digest. Use them to your advantage. While reviewing, look for glimpses into what might be to come. More specifically, seek any clues on playing time and overall approach to the game. When choosing preseason games you may also want to see who is actually starting and try to make an educated guess on who is going to get minutes.

Can you make a case for betting on the game?
If you find a clear advantage for one side, then the game could be worth betting on. While there are bettors that find success with preseason betting, a cautious approach for the games that don’t count - and in the postseason they all don’t count and are literally just for practice. makes a ton of sense. You can certainly pick your spots and take bigger risks if you find some clear advantages, but you also should  take it slow and use the preseason as a chance to get set for the season while betting responsibly. After all, how dumb would it feel to lose a ton of money on a preseason game that doesn’t mean anything?

Can you bet on player props for NFL preseason games?

Betting options for preseason games tend to be limited in comparison to what you’ll find during the NFL regular season. The main pregame bets of moneyline, spread, and over/under are top attractions for bettors to choose from, and some contests attract a decent amount of betting volume.

Since playing time for starters often is limited and it’s tough to project what we’ll see out of the rest of the roster, player props typically aren’t available at online sportsbooks during the preseason. Using player stats while betting is extremely problematic anyways because you have no idea who is going to get how much playing time.

So the best way to sports bet during the preseason? Know which coaches are most competitive, make an educated guess on who is going to play and go with who you think will win with that set of players.
