NFL Preseason Week 4 Undefeated/Winless Teams

By

Week 4 of the NFL preseason is upon us and this is the week where most of the starters rest and start prepare for the opening weekend of the regular season.  You may think that since the starters are not playing, these games will not mean anything to the teams trying to win the game.  However, for the majority of the people on the field Thursday night, this is the biggest game of their professional lives, so you do get maximum effort from those players.

A huge myth that I see employed in handicapping this week is that people feel teams who have yet to win a game in the preseason try to get the winning feeling going into the season.  On the other hand, teams that have yet to lose have completed their preseason work and are ready for the regular season.  This is simply not true.  Since 1997, teams that have yet to win a game SU & ATS in the preseason are 6-22-1 ATS in games 4 or 5.  Teams that have yet to lose a game SU & ATS in the preseason are 26-10 ATS in games 4 or 5.

I also have subsets of these systems that are 16-3 ATS, 12-3 ATS, and 16-4 OVER the total in the Handicapping Vault.  Sign up for the handicapping vault today.
