I like Balt also. Established coach vs a 1st time HC.

That doesn’t apply in preseason, from my experience you can flip that angle around. In the preseason the new coaching staff and players seems to take these games more serious then a a veteran Team.

In preseason u can dismiss the starting squad from your handicapping, they arent getting any significant snaps, and if they are successful snaps they’ll let off the gas on the next series not to reveal the playbook.
focus on back ups , team depth, position battles and chemistry with qb2-3 with the back up WRs.

We all know preseason games are a crap shoot but I will make a small wager on the OVER
knowing Chicago is 11-2 over in their first preseason game and Baltimore was 5-3 over when
traveling last year.

Since 2004 in weeks 1 and 2 of preseason, if the total is 35 or under, the record for the OVER is 85-61-3 which is 58%.

If you're looking to bet just to bet on this game (small wager hopefully) then looks like the OVER is the best play

Generally speaking the new coach wants to get his program off on the right foot.

There are also established veteran coaches that have a tendency to cover more than others in the Pre Season.

Harbaugh 9-1 ATS first game of the pre season.
