Packers vs Colts NFL Preseason Preview, Picks

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, which appears to be the case for the Packers in today's matchup against the Colts.

This system targets teams with a solid pedigree that won between 9 and 11 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.
