Geoff Schwartz delivers his best bets for preseason Week 1. Check out why he's backing Baltimore to cover against Philly and why he sees K.C. getting off to a hot start.
Bettors, on your marks! The first full slate of NFL preseason games starts on Thursday and continues through Sunday, meaning there are plenty of opportunities to wager on the action for the 2024 exhibition season. Here is how I’ve always done it: I wager on coaches and on situations. We have years of records that let us know how coaches perform against the spread during this time of year, and the data tells us that backing non-offensive coaches is generally the way to go.
Ravens Chiefs @ Jaguars Andy Reid’s record ATS in the preseason is one game above .500, but he’s 7-2 in that spot in the last three preseasons. When it comes to non-offensive coaches in the preseason, he's the exception to the rule. The Chiefs have a good preseason record the last three years for a few reasons. First, Reid plays his starters in preseason games and that often gives Kansas City an advantage when it is playing against backups.
