Chargers vs. Rams NFL Preseason Preview
In the NFL preseason, teams coming off a strong but not elite prior season often have deeper rosters and coaching stability, creating hidden value when they enter games as underdogs, such as the Rams in tonight's matchup against the Chargers.
This system targets these pedigree teams that won between nine and eleven games the previous season, capturing organizations with winning cultures but situational reasons for being slight underdogs in exhibition games.
By isolating only preseason contests, we take advantage of market inefficiencies where public perception and betting lines do not fully account for the depth and preparedness of these rosters.
Backing these 'dogs against the spread allows us to capture their edge in execution and depth as they tune up for the regular season, resulting in steady profit despite the unpredictability of preseason outcomes.
