Betting the NFL Preseason

The NFL exhibition season gets underway with the Hall of Fame Game between the Washington Redskins and the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. For a number of sports bettors, it's the first true football game since the Super Bowl, or possibly the Pro Bowl, and they will place a bet on the game no matter what.

Betting the NFL preseason can be profitable, but sports bettors have to look at the games differently than would a regular season encounter. There are a number of important differences between the two. We'll look at some of those differences in Betting the NFL Preseason in the Football Betting Section of the site.
