For a number of sports gamblers, myself included, you can mark the official start of the upcoming football season by the release of Phil Steele's annual college preview magazine. Billed as "The Book the Experts Cannot do Without," Steele's preview has been the most popular of the preseason magazines for a number of years. There is good reason for that, as the 2008 issue quickly shows.

Steele's 2008 College Preview

Steele packs plenty of information about each and every college team into his 328-page preview, including projecting starting line-ups, point spread logs from the five seasons, numerous statistics, and plenty more. There is very little a college football bettor would want to know heading into a new season that isn't included in Steele's preview.

There are also the sections of the preview that Steele is noted for, such as his surprise teams, conference selections, most improved teams and his rankings of the top individual players and units in college football. Steele also presents several systems and has included a set of the power ratings he uses.

The magazine is full color throughout, something of a rarity these days, and has a clean look to it. There are a number of different covers to the magazine, depending on your geographical location, so don't panic if the cover of yours is different than the one you see advertised on his website.

Steele's College Football Preview is a bargain for $8.95, but he also includes a coupon that you simply mail in and you'll receive a copy of his 2008 NFL Preview absolutely free. He'll even pay to mail the magazine to you. That's a deal every sports bettor should take advantage of.

Simply put, Steele's college football previews is the best preseason magazine you'll find anywhere. Pick up a copy and you won't be disappointed.
