Last Day of Preseason Action

Friday August 29, 2008
As NFL teams play their final preseason game of the year, it's important for sports bettors to remember that these games take on different meanings for different teams. Some coaches want to get the game over with as quickly as possible without any injuries and could care less about the final score.

Other coaches will use the game for evaluating players for the team's final cuts, as well as enter the regular season with some momentum. These coaches are more likely to play their first- and second-string players a bit longer in the game.

Today's free play is in the late NFL game and can be found at Free Sports Betting Picks located in the Sports Gambling 101 section of the site.
