Free NFL Football Picks and Tips For You

Free NFL Football Picks and Tips For You It's the final week of the NFL preseason which means it's also the final week to do some sports handicapping and scouting before you look for free NFL football picks and then formulate your own picks.

I know you're reading this, thinking to yourself, "How do I scout when we'll be lucky to see the starters past the National Anthem?" All the better to make some extra money during the season with, my dear. So for those who want to act early, here are some free NFL football picks and tips for you.

There's no doubt that having A-list starters go a long way toward NFL success. It doesn't take a football genius to see that a team quarterbacked by Peyton Manning will usually have more success than one led by Alex Smith. But this isn't your dad's NFL. Heck, it's not even your big brother's NFL. Today's league is defined by much more specialization in the past, with coaches squeezing every bit of work they can out of their 45-man active rosters.

Nickel and dime-backs have become a lot more valuable than their titles would indicate. With the emphasis on their performance and that of other specialists like third-down and shortyardage running backs, cover corners and run-stuffing nose tackles, every player on the roster usually has an important role to fill.

Enter the fourth and final preseason game. This is where guys are playing for their NFL lives.

This is the week that coaches make their final decision on who will make the roster and how their rotations will work. Sure, Drew Brees and Darren Sharper had a big hand in the Saints winning the Super Bowl. But the key to any championship winning club is the ability to have the unsung Grind Guys doing their jobs on a weekly basis.

The genius of the New England Patriots in the 2000s wasn't their ability to snag Tom Brady in the sixth round - although that was pretty damn smart. Their biggest strength was being able to take overlooked young players (who's Tully Banta-Cain?) or discarded veterans (Rodney Harrison, anyone?) and put them in situations where they could succeed. Those are the teams that you want to pay attention to in the preseason. They can be NFL gold.

So before you yawn your way through these final NFL appetizers before the main course, realize that these could be the key to winning your NFL bets and impressing your friends and most importantly build your cash bank.
