NFL Preseason Online Betting - Football Picks
For 2025, the NFL will repeat its shortened preseason schedule of the Hall of Fame Game, followed by three full weeks of action. 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 reducing the preseason schedule 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.

NFL Hall of Fame Game
THURSDAY, JULY 31
Los Angeles Chargers vs. Detroit Lions
The NFL Hall of Fame Game is the one tradition of the preseason. Each year in Canton, Ohio, home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the NFL preseason kicks off with its first game in conjunction with the Hall of Fame inductions for that year. Although it is an exhibition game with plenty of substitutions and players nobody has ever heard of, the Hall of Fame Game easily generates good TV viewership. The best evidence of the Hall of Fame Game’s value is that NBC will televise it in prime time, as per usual. The game is also seen as a landmark event that signifies it is time to prepare for the football season.
