2022 NFL Preseason Betting
In the 2020 pandemic season, the NFL learned something that many other observers have believed for decades; There is no need for the preseason. That year the NFL went straight to the regular season, and nobody could tell the difference. But the preseason brings extra revenue to the NFL clubs from TV revenue, ticket sales, and stadium dates. Thus, the preseason goes on. One change that began in 2021 was that the preseason schedule was cut to three full weeks. The fourth preseason week became an extra week for the regular season.
Teams strive not to expose their key players to potential injury in the preseason. Rookies and free agents get most of the playing time, trying to earn roster spots. And new coaches will use the preseason to implement their systems and cultures.
From a gambling perspective, preseason is a handicapping challenge. Gamblers must do their due diligence regarding what the lineups and playing time are expected to be. And even then, it’s a crapshoot. In recent years, live betting has become highly popular in the preseason. With that method of wagering, gamblers get real-time updates on game developments and lineup changes.

The first game of week one in the preseason is a fascinating matchup. The New England Patriots’ new offensive assistant, Joe Judge, was fired as head coach of the host New York Giants last January after two years. The Giants' new head coach, former Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, is quite familiar with the Patriots. And, of course, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick made his name in the late 1980s three decades ago as the Giants' defensive coordinator.
