NFL Saturday Preseason Games

Tracking the lines and seems all the totals jumped up, every one but one.

Det 38 to 40

Buff 35 to 35.5

TB 36 to 36.5

Balt 37.5 to 38.5

Hou 40.5 to 41

Min 38 to 38.5

Car 36.5 to 37

Chi 38 ~38

Oak 36 to 37


All going up, a preseason trend to the overs?

I personally like a couple of these under myself.

I don't have any money on the games but NYG Balti I have pegged under, same with Tennessee/Carolina...

might wait till tonight and see if the number has risen more and put a unit or 2 down on them

no real theory on when you should do it... line move suggests to you that you should probably go over before it gets too high...sometimes I think its reverse psychology in play... move the line up people will go over rather than take the few extra points on the under, because it seems as if they are moving the total up in anticipation of the over to get people off of the under

I find it hard to cap over/unders in pre-season as sometimes you never really know how far starters go. I more or less focus on the spread #, unless a gut feeling comes to me.
