The Falcons made the Playoffs for the first time in four seasons last year under their new Head Coach Mike Smith out of the NFC South Division. They hope to become the first Falcons team in its 43-year history to have back-to-back winning seasons. Quarterback Ryan looks to avoid the sophomore jinx, but the team will go as far as its Defense allows since they have one of the toughest schedules in the League. They led throughout Pre-Season Game One at the Lions, only to lose to a Field Goal as the final gun sounded. Trends favoring the Under in Falcons Pre-Season events include 5-0 Under with less than a week of rest, 4-2 Under on Turf, and 2-0 Under as Favorites.
The Rams look to improve off of their last place finish in the NFC West Division under their new Head Coach Steve Spagnuolo. They put some points on the board in a 23-20 win at the Jets in Pre-Season Game One. Quarterback Bulger is out for this one after a pinky injury at the Jets, with QB Boller moving to the Number One QB spot. The Rams will be playing their first team more on both sides of the ball tonight, but still are hampered by injuries. Although under new leadership, they show low-scoring games at Home in the Pre-Season in the past.

Here is tonight's Free Column release on NFL Pre-Season Football.
The Patriots of the AFC East Division under their long-tenured Head Coach Bill Belichick look to rebound from a rare off-year, and welcome the return of Quarterback Tom Brady. They have made key free agent acquisitions, and appear to have made good draft selections. The Patriots are our pick to win the Big Dance this season. They haven't shown much in the Pre-Season in recent years, and were soundly defeated in this match up at Home last Pre-Season. Regardless, we'll take the points here tonight in a Free Play.
The Eagles of the NFC East Division under their long-tenured Head Coach Andy Reed have made the Playoffs seven out of the last nine years, and went all the way to the NFC Championship Game last season. They also did very well in the draft, and picked up some great Players through Free Agency. The combination of Quarterback McNabb and Coach Reid look to return to the Post Season once again. Negative trends for the Eagles in the Pre-Season include 0-5 ATS in Pre-Season Game One, 1-5 ATS in non-Conference Play, and 1-4 ATS when the Total is this low.
The line opened at Eagles -3.5. We'll take those points and the Road Patriots to cover for us here tonight in a Don't Go Crazy Free Pick.

They are 6-0 Against The Spread recently in Pre-Season Game Ones.

2009 NFL and NCAA Football Wagering Tips*
Emotion --*The most important betting edge to know about in football wagering isn't statistics or numbers. The most important edge is emotion. Find the team that desires to win more than their opponent and they'll cover a high percentage of those events. This is true in all sports. But it is even more significant in a physical game like NCAA and NFL Football. Certain Coaches are much better than others in getting their teams ready for games by providing the impetus for emotion. Such Coaches as Bobby Bowden, Pete Carroll,*Tom O'Brien, Urban Meyer, and Bill Belichick among others have all shown their worth in this area over the years.*
Sandwich Games --*Be careful of ‘sandwich' games.*That is the game for a team that's in between two other more important games. The NFL split into different Divisions recently, with fewer teams in each Division. Since then we have both the AFC and NFC broken down into four Divisions consisting of four teams each. They are called the East, North, South and West. So now Division games are of even greater significance than in the past with fewer teams in each Division. When it comes to determining the Playoff picture, these games are the most important to each competing team.*
If Tennessee for example, early in the season, plays Indianapolis this week and Jacksonville in two weeks, you know they're going to be focused on those two inter-Divisional games. But if the in-between game is against say San Francisco, a lesser out of Conference team, be careful! Tennessee will have most likely played a tough game the week before, and have an important tough game the following week. Starters may be pulled early against San Francisco, and those hurting from the previous game might not even play in this one.*
Too many bettors jump on a team that has been covering on the ‘sandwich' game, laying way too much ‘wood'. The team usually wins, but fails to cover. Then the bettor jumps off of Tennessee the following week against Jacksonville because the bettor got burnt the week before in the sandwich game!
Line Movement --*Sometimes line movement means nothing, and sometimes it means everything. When I wager (my favorite recreation), I want the line to be bet dead or move ½ to one point with me. Not a lot of movement, but slightly in agreement with me. When a line moves more than one point, especially in the NFL, it can be a dangerous play. This can denote injuries or other late information such as weather, etc. But be careful, NFL teams are notorious for giving out misleading disinformation more so than any other sport.
Quite often with big line movement in the NFL, the final score falls in between the original line and the final line. This opens the door for ‘middlers', those who bet early one way and late the other way on the same game. I know several gamblers who make their living on this, and i have been successful myself at it. They give up the 10% ‘juice' in hopes of winning both ways. The most they can lose is 5% of their total bet. They clean up if one play pushes or wins and the other play wins.
NCAA football can be different though.*With so many lined college games nowadays, big line movement can be bet on. For two years in a row in the early 1990's, the Ivy League football team that got the most line movement during the week won every single game those years. Every week! For games like these with fewer wagers on them, the line can easily move 3 to 5 points. Sometimes it can move even more. Beware of betting against this line movement, it generally is right. In the Colleges, stay away from wagering against consistent and massive line movement in one direction.*
Here's wishing all Football bettors a great 2009 Football Wagering Season! Make sure to stop by the FreeSportsLetter-- Free Football, Basketball and Baseball Picks site for tons of FREE Wagering Information, Contests, Lines, Scores, and more importantly, FREE Winners!*

2009 NFL and NCAA Football Wagering Tips*
Emotion --*The most important betting edge to know about in football wagering isn't statistics or numbers. The most important edge is emotion. Find the team that desires to win more than their opponent and they'll cover a high percentage of those events. This is true in all sports. But it is even more significant in a physical game like NCAA and NFL Football. Certain Coaches are much better than others in getting their teams ready for games by providing the impetus for emotion. Such Coaches as Bobby Bowden, Pete Carroll,*Tom O'Brien, Urban Meyer, and Bill Belichick among others have all shown their worth in this area over the years.*
Sandwich Games --*Be careful of ‘sandwich' games.*That is the game for a team that's in between two other more important games. The NFL split into different Divisions recently, with fewer teams in each Division. Since then we have both the AFC and NFC broken down into four Divisions consisting of four teams each. They are called the East, North, South and West. So now Division games are of even greater significance than in the past with fewer teams in each Division. When it comes to determining the Playoff picture, these games are the most important to each competing team.*
If Tennessee for example, early in the season, plays Indianapolis this week and Jacksonville in two weeks, you know they're going to be focused on those two inter-Divisional games. But if the in-between game is against say San Francisco, a lesser out of Conference team, be careful! Tennessee will have most likely played a tough game the week before, and have an important tough game the following week. Starters may be pulled early against San Francisco, and those hurting from the previous game might not even play in this one.*
Too many bettors jump on a team that has been covering on the ‘sandwich' game, laying way too much ‘wood'. The team usually wins, but fails to cover. Then the bettor jumps off of Tennessee the following week against Jacksonville because the bettor got burnt the week before in the sandwich game!
Line Movement --*Sometimes line movement means nothing, and sometimes it means everything. When I wager (my favorite recreation), I want the line to be bet dead or move ½ to one point with me. Not a lot of movement, but slightly in agreement with me. When a line moves more than one point, especially in the NFL, it can be a dangerous play. This can denote injuries or other late information such as weather, etc. But be careful, NFL teams are notorious for giving out misleading disinformation more so than any other sport.
Quite often with big line movement in the NFL, the final score falls in between the original line and the final line. This opens the door for ‘middlers', those who bet early one way and late the other way on the same game. I know several gamblers who make their living on this, and i have been successful myself at it. They give up the 10% ‘juice' in hopes of winning both ways. The most they can lose is 5% of their total bet. They clean up if one play pushes or wins and the other play wins.
NCAA football can be different though.*With so many lined college games nowadays, big line movement can be bet on. For two years in a row in the early 1990's, the Ivy League football team that got the most line movement during the week won every single game those years. Every week! For games like these with fewer wagers on them, the line can easily move 3 to 5 points. Sometimes it can move even more. Beware of betting against this line movement, it generally is right. In the Colleges, stay away from wagering against consistent and massive line movement in one direction.*
