NFL preseason wagering success is quite often all about locating the squads with the top quarterback depth. This is not the normal year where the starting quarterback plays the complete competition. The outcome of NFL preseason odds is sometimes dependant on the third or 4th string quarterbacks.



Generally NFL preseason gambling odds have modest point spreads. How well a third string quarterback plays can usually by the difference between a win and a loss in the preseason. Which squads have the top quarterback depth for 2010? What squads have the worst? Why don’t we take a look.

The Dolphins have a pretty good quartet of quarterbacks. Chad Pennington is the backup whilst Chad Henne is the starter. There are not many backup quarterbacks in the NFL a lot better than Pennington. In fact he’s presently the NFL’s all-time leader in career completion proportion with 66.1%. The third stringer is Tyler Thigpen and he was starting in Kansas City. Even the 4th string quarterback Pat White has gotten playing time.

The New York Jets might not have any great quarterbacks but they have lots of depth. Mark Sanchez is the starter and the team a short while ago signed Mark Brunell to be the backup. Erik Ainge as well as Kellen Clemens, who has started in the NFL, are also on the team.

The Oakland Raiders might really be a team to follow vs the NFL preseason odds. At quarterback they have a pretty reliable 4 man rotation. Jason Campbell will be the starter whilst the three other quarterbacks each have started in the NFL. Some excellent backups who can make plays are Kyle Boller, Charlie Frye and Bruce Gradkowski.

What about the squads you don’t want to be following in the preseason? Jay Cutler of the Chicago Bears is a reliable starter, but there is not much behind him. Do you really want Brett Basanez, Caleb Hanie, Mike Teel or Dan LeFevour to decide the outcome of your wager? Jay Cutler is not the most outstanding quarterback out there at this time as it stands, and to be backed up by even less outstanding competitors makes you think two times about wagering on this team during the preseason.

The Indianapolis Colts have a related difficulty. Peyton Manning won’t get much playing time, and he’s their starting quarterback. The backups are Curtis Painter, Tom Brandstater, Tim Hiller and Drew Willy. The Colts are going to want to keep Manning, who could be 1 of the top quarterbacks of all time, in good condition for the games that in fact count, not waste his skill on the preseason.

The Philadelphia Eagles have Michael Vick, who has shown nothing as the backup, Kevin Kolb as the starter and the other two quarterbacks are Mike Kafka and Joey Elliot. Even Kevin Kolb is brand new to the starting quarterback job, having got it after Donovan McNabb was dealt to the Washington Redskins. He’s not a quarterback that has earned lots of faith yet from his team and Eagles fanatics despite the fact that he is not bad.

Remember to pay close attention to the quarterback depth as you make NFL preseason wagers this season.
