The NFL preseason is officially here and it serves as not only a warmup for teams to prepare for the regular season, but it also allows us bettors to get some reps in before opening week.

It can be extremely difficult to handicap preseason games when we rarely know which players will compete and for how many snaps. That's why I'm of the belief the best way to handicap these games is by looking at the preseason records of head coaches.

Some coaches use these games solely to evaluate their roster while others think it's important to win to carry momentum into the regular season.

Let's take a look at head coaches records for the preseason throughout their careers, both straight up and against the spread.
