REPORT DATES: July 30th
SITE: Methodist Training Center, Houston, TX
CAMP OBJECTIVES: If the Texans wish to build off last year's 9-7 finish and make the playoffs for the first time in team history, they will need to come out of camp with a bunch of questions answered on defense. In the secondary, where Dunta Robinson is now a Falcon, Houston must have the young likes of Glover Quin and first-round rookie Kareem Jackson (Alabama) bear the look of corners who are ready to deal with Peyton Manning in the not-too-distant future. Within the front seven, coordinator Frank Bush needs to determine whether Conor Barwin is ready to make an impact off the edge, and whether Xavier Adibi is prepared to hold down the fort at strongside linebacker while Brian Cushing is serving a four-game steroid suspension to start the season. The biggest battle on offense could be at running back, where Steve Slaton had fumbling and injury issues, and second-rounder Ben Tate (Auburn) and the emerging Arian Foster could push him. The special teams area to watch is at kicker, where the inconsistent Kris Brown and Neil Rackers (ex-Cardinals) are competing. Also keep an eye on diminutive return specialist Trindon Holliday (LSU), who should get lots of chances in the preseason.

“You play to win the game!”
Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy.
The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line.
The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2.
Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway?
Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year.
Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years.
Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant.
Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success.
The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones.
Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings.
Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record.
This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots.
First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!”
The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason.
Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
