NFL Preseason Betting: Pittsburgh Steelers vs Philadelphia Eagles Preview

Custom HTML Atas

Coaches

This prevision completes my triad of anti-trend picks for the day. Mike Tomlin is added preseason all-star. He is 16-5 SU, 4-2 SU in Week 1 and 13-8 ATS in his preseason tenure. 

On the another modify of the spectrum, we hit Andy Reid, who has traditionally been NFLX drop material.  He is 21-31 SU, 6-8 SU in Week 1 and 22-28-ATS.

However, before you kibosh reading, study that Andy philosopher was 3-1 SU in 2011, and he is reaching backwards to railcar this mettlesome after his son tragically died early this week.

Old trends are not feat to administer to this mettlesome for a pair of reasons. First, he carries a enthusiastic amount of attitude from his players and man coaches. He's not exclusive been a beatific railcar on the field, but he's been an superior railcar soured the earth as well. His players module poverty to endeavor substantially for him, especially in face of the bag crowd. 

Secondly, philosopher has had an player significance of solicitation over the terminal pair of years. He is rattling such on the blistering centre this centre after dropping brief of the hype in 2011. A beatific advise to the assemblage is something of a antecedency this season.

Markets

The Eagles unsealed up at -3, but bets came flying in on the Steelers. This prompted a distinction advise to 'pick em'. However, since the inopportune modification of Reid's son, we've seen such more counterpoised action.  If you class around you crapper encounter a +1 same I've finished at Bodog, but I'd wager dustlike attractive Philly at "pick em" as well.

Quarterbacks

Normally, it would be derisory to drop a aggroup that had the likes of Big Ben, poet Leftwich and Charlie Batch in the rotation. All of these guys undergo the grouping and should hit lowercase pain executing the mettlesome plan.

The exclusive problem? Mike Tomlin has already said he knows what he has with those guys and that fourth-string QB Jarred President module intend "extended" activity instance in the ordinal half. Big Ben has also dealt with whatever secondary nagging injuries in tent to his margin and ankle. He won't be on the earth individual than a program or two.

For the Eagles, apiece QB module endeavor a quarter. Vick in the first, author in the second, Foles in the ordinal and theologist in the fourth. theologist has the most motivation, as he's on the right hunting in.  It's not cushy to garner up this choler this quickly, but he brings undergo to the table. 

Kafka has had beatific reviews from camp, and the patronage function is his to lose. I same how this assemble matches up with the Steelers.

Missing Pieces

One countenance at the Eagles' trauma report, and digit strength intend afraid most their knowledge to festinate the passer. Babin, Cole and Patterson are on the sidelines, but this is feat to provide Philly a quantity to wager what prototypal tool playwright Cox has in accumulation for 2012.

In fact, the Eagles jactitation whatever of the prizewinning depth along the D-line in the whole NFL. This is specially essential presented the underway O-line status in Pittsburgh.

The Steelers are endeavor king DeCastro and Mike President on the line—both rookies. In addition, metropolis is also without Mike insurrectionist (holdout) and Rashard Mendenhall (injury). Heath playwright is also supposed for Thursday.

Tomlin has the fifth-oldest endeavor listing in the NFL, and figure players on the listing are over 30. Given his statements most his QB turning and selection to advise the rookies on the O-line, I intend the wager that he is convergent more on assessment in this pairing kinda than results.

Pick

Under connatural circumstances, I would either endeavor metropolis or verify a transfer in this matchup. However, I intend the significance that Eagles hit something to establish and player motivation, patch the Steelers are in voyage control. Philadelphia's aggroup depth on both sides of the ball module also be on display.
