markymark+ · Aug 21, 2004

Won with the Falcons last night! Today's "new coach theory" plays:

Record preseason: 6-4

Washington Redskins +1.5
Chicago Bears -2.5 -120
Oakland Raiders -2.5
Arizona Cardinals -2.5 -120

**I also have two "personal" plays that I like a lot which one of them does go against the "new coach theory", but I REALLY think this is the right side in this game.**

Tennessee Titans -1
*Going against the "new coach theory" here, but I LOVE this play! If I had such a thing as a preseason LOCK...this would be it! Hopefully I'm right about this.*

New Orleans Saints +3.5 -120

GL today!! RS

So, you've refined your 'new coach theory' to something like 'always bet on new coaches in preseason except when you really 'LOVE' the other side.'

I still think it would be better to handicap the games and to use 'new coaches' as one of several factors inlcuding how a team did last week, QB rotation, starters playing time, key injuries, etc.

Good luck.

That's cool olddog....We'll see how the theory turns out at the end of the preseason. This is the first time actually playing these games for me. Like I mentioned earlier the last two seasons the theory put out 60% winners, so we'll see. I have many factors and angles I use to handicapp as well, but I just thought I'd use this theory just for preseason and see how it turns out...sorry for confusing you with the conflict with my personal play. I treat preseason very lightly compared to regular season...put very little on games. GL to you!
