NFL Preseason - Week 1 - Bodog Odds


Good news football fans - the NFL season is almost upon us! And while it’s still too early to bet on regular season games, we can wager on the preseason thanks to sports books like Bodog.

Just be sure and exercise caution. Preseason is like a bizarre world, where up is down and down is up (why else would the pitiful Texans only be a 1 ½ point underdog to the Bears?). Third string quarterbacks will post impressive numbers and fantasy stars will sit on the bench and rest. Just be sure you take this into account before you plunk down your hard earned dollars.

BODOG ODDS - NFL PRESEASON

Here are the odds for the games taking place on Saturday, August 11th:


Green Bay Packers (+6) vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (-6)

Jacksonville Jaguars (-2 ½) vs. Miami Dolphins (+2 ½)

Kansas City Chiefs (+3) vs. Cleveland Browns (-3)

Washington Redskins (+3) vs. Tennessee Titans (-3)

Carolina Panthers (pick) vs. New York Giants (pick)

Chicago Bears (-1 ½) vs. Houston Texans (+1 ½)

Arizona Cardinals (+1) vs. Oakland Raiders (-1)


DARE TO GAMBLE - DARE TO PREDICT

And just for the heck of it, I thought I would show off my NFL prognostication skills by selecting the winners of each game. I’ll update you on how I did on Sunday or Monday. I by no means suggest that you take my advice as anything more than a complete amateur at work.
