NFL Preseason Schedule
The NFL preseason is an integral part of the National Football League’s annual calendar, serving as a warm-up period before the regular season kicks off. It offers teams the opportunity to evaluate their rosters, fine-tune their strategies, and make necessary adjustments before the official games begin.
This type of football matchups typically consists of a series of games that allow coaches to assess the skills and potential of their NFL players.The NFL preseason schedule is usually released in May and begins in early August. Teams participate in a total of four preseason games, spread over four weeks.
NFL Preseason Odds
The NFL preseason is a series of exhibition games played by NFL teams before the regular season begins. It serves as a warm-up period for teams to evaluate their players, test new strategies, and build cohesion among the roster.
Although they are just exhibition games, the 2024 NFL Preseason Odds remain a popular part of the football betting odds are similar to regular season or playoff odds.
The NFL preseason point spread is available with the moneyline (ML), total, and even some props.
However, the NFL preseason can be difficult to bet on for multiple reasons. Teams typically play their backup players in an attempt to avoid NFL injuries to their starters. Contending teams’ coaches have even said they avoid playing their star football players to preserve their health.
Some coaches have flourished in the preseason. Ravens’ coach John Harbaugh has won over 75 percent of his preseason games. On the flip side, Chiefs’ coach Andy Reid has won fewer than half of them thanks to strictly limiting his starters’ playing times.
Betting on the NFL Preseason Odds
The NFL Preseason Odds are usually displayed in an American format. These manifest as either a negative number or a positive number. The negative number indicates how much you need to wager to win $100.
An odd listed at -200 means you need to wager $200 to win $100. The positive number shows how much you win on a $100 wager. If it is shown at +160, you win $160 for every $100 you wager.
The negative number typically indicates the favorite or a pick’em line (the betting equivalent of a 50/50). It is standard for a point spread, where teams must “cover” a point handicap to cash the bet. We’ll cover how the point spread works below:
Here is a preseason game between the Buffalo Bills and Carolina Panthers. These are how their betting markets show on the point spread:
In this example, the Bills are favored to win by 3½ points. They will have 3½ deducted from their final score. Carolina, the underdogs, will get 3½ added to their score. The game is played and Buffalo has won 24-22. The winning bet here is on the Panthers.
Carolina’s final score of 22 will receive 3½ points, thus pushing it to 25½. This new score beats Buffalo’s 24 points. A $105 bet on the Panthers’ spread would have returned $100 per the -105 line. On the flip side, Buffalo’s 24 points lose 3½ for a score of 20½. This loses to Carolina’s 22 points. The Panthers “covered their spread”.
