New England +135 over N.Y. Giants

7:00 PM EST. One preseason angle that appeals to the market is getting behind bad teams with a new coaching staff in place. The reasoning is that the new coach will want to set a winning tone early to give the team a good feel going forward. In some cases, we can get on board or even agree but not in every case.

Brian Daboll, who’s last post was as offensive coordinator of the Bills, is in the hot seat now. It’s not a surprise that a member of the Bills coaching tree landed in the swamps of Jersey, as the G-Men hired former Buffalo executive Joe Schoen to be their general manager. With that said, let’s check in and see how things are going at Giants’ camp.

If Daboll was eager to light a fire under his new team, I guess we could say he was successful after his offensive line coach, poured gasoline on what was already a burning fire and incited an all out brawl after shoving linebacker Cam Brown, allowing center Jon Feliciano to sucker punch Brown. Linebacker Tae Crowder then jumped in and the fight was on. That’s one way to build team chemistry, eh?

What do we even need to say about Patriots coach Bill Belichick? Has this dude ever coached a game he didn't want to win by two touchdowns? To that point, a look back at “The Hoodies” recent preseason success suggests that last sentence is as true as they come. Call it the Gospel of BB, thou shalt have no mercy, even in Week 1 of the preseason. Add the fact he can spank the bum of a new member of the head coach club and you’ve got a recipe for a classic BB beatdown.

In their last 11 preseason contests, the Pats are 9-2. Last season, the first with Mac Jones under center, Belichick was sure to engrain the “Patriot Way'' in his new protege. The results—a 3-0 record, with an average margin of victory of better than 15 points. Something the oddsmakers surely considered when they opened New England as a 2-point home favorite in this game, no? Does BB sound like a man one should fade taking back points at home? We think not.
