NFL Betting: Bloomberg.com Intentionally Spreads Myth
The world’s sharpest sports bettors cannot stop laughing at a recent article on Bloomberg.com by Joe Saumarez-Smith that claimed professional gamblers avoid betting NFL preseason football.
Of course there are many who believe Saumarez-Smith is not that naïve, but has plenty of motivation to spread the urban legend. “Joe is a consultant to many sportsbooks. He knows the offshore casinos make a fortune from the square player in the NFL preseason and take a bath from the sharp player,” assures Cy McCormick of the online syndicate MasterLockLine.com
The laughing continues all the way to the bank. Later Joe comments on how most

The National Football League rolls out more exhibition games on Saturday, including Brett Favre’s Jets playing host to the Redskins. Here’s your Daily Sports Roundup . . .
Event of the day . . .
Favre apparently has a ‘tired arm’, but Jets coach Eric Mangini says that he will start the team’s home game against the Redskins on Saturday nonetheless. Don’t expect the 38-year-old quarterback to see much time on the field, though, as the Jets aren’t going to want their prized acquisition to do too much before the games really start to count.
That means we’ll get to see more of Kellen Clemens, Brett Ratliff, and Erik Ainge, with Ainge possibly joining Chad Pennington on a train out of town if he can’t beat out the unheralded Ratliff for the team’s No. 3 quarterback job. As for the Redskins, starting quarterback Jason Campbell seems to be catching on to the team’s new offense, and he should leave most of the work to his backups on Saturday night as well.
The oddsmakers have the Jets listed as 3-point home favorites in this preseason contest, with the game’s total sitting at 35.5 points. Kickoff is

Peyton Manning is still sidelined for the Colts, and the Falcons won just four games all of last season.
