You can track and stay up to date with line moves on our NFL betting odds page, which gives up to the minute point spreads for all pro football games.

While the stars dont play many minutes, there are no fantasy football leagues based on the player stats, the stadiums are half empty, the astute NFL sports bettors prefer betting on preseason football over the regular season product for one simple reason, it is easier to beat.  Name one other sport that is lined by bookmakers where the coaches tell you if they are going to try and win or mail it in and you can bet it.  Knowing which coaches care and which dont is the key.  Also getting that information before others can be the difference between winning a bet and losing out because of a line move.  At Maddux Sports we are on top of that NFL information and our NFL football picks package includes all preseason football picks.  If you are going to be betting pro and College football this year, consider investing in our premium picks package to help make you a winner in 2010.
