10:00 PM ET 2 STAR SELECTION (2.5% of Bankroll) Dallas +3 over SAN DIEGO "America's Team" will be on path Saturday evening when they face the Chargers in the preseason start for each teams. Dallas will be taking the field after a headline-grabbing offseason. Shortly after the 2007 season, owner Jerry Jones managed to hold offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, who had been being courted as head mentor by numerous NFL teams. Garrett was given a pay raise and assigned the title of associate head mentor in Big D, moves which are watched as exerting pressure on head mentor Wade Phillips. From a people standpoint, Dallas prepared a splash by trading for troubled cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones, also drafting running back Felix Jones to drive Marion Barber atop the detail chart at which position. Barber and other key starters these as play Tony Romo and broad phone Terrell Owens are expected to find just limited time on Saturday, in keeping with first-game-of-preseason tradition; still, it will probably be plenty more than the Chargers' ideal player, LaDainian Tomlinson, which won't view any action. Compared to Dallas, San Diego experienced a decidedly relaxing offseason. After completing 11-5 and advancing to the AFC Championship last January, Norv Turner's club experienced valuable little roll or training turnover, and is the overwhelming favorite to win the AFC West once again. On the injury front for the Chargers, wideout Vincent Jackson, fast end Antonio Gates, and center Nick Hardwick are amidst the players which won't view action against Dallas. With "LT" and others out, it provides you the chance to try out AGAINST a team which will not have key starters playing against an opposing not resting its key players. Some coaches don't see any have to risk undue injury during the exhibition season to people players who he already knows will be starters, that is the case for Turner and San Diego. Wade Phillips should have his team preparedto go here, as coaches found on the hot seat wish to log off to a wise begin, and Phillips was an associate in San Diego from 2004-06, installing the team's 3-4 protection. One of our NFLX coaching strategies is to try out ON a team with a brand-new head mentor or associate which was earlier with his brand-new team's current opposing. This situation is particularly sturdy when the mentor left with a bitter taste in his throat and/or his brand-new team is an underdog. These coaches know their ex-team and ex-players truly well, and when the schemes they left behind continue to be in courtesy, they will have a a huge gameplanning edge. While this might be Phillips 2nd season in Dallas, he can remain seeking to make a stament with his team against San Diego. Finally, in lookin at several numbers, we note which Dallas is 13-3 SU & ATS vs. the AFC, including 5-0 ATS as an underdog vs. the AFC. On the other hand, Norv Turner is an ugly 3-8-2 ATS as an NFLX house favorite and 8-16 ATS overall in his last 6 NFL preseasons. The Chargers haven't fared effectively in NFLX openers, going 1-6 ATS in their last 7 Game 1s. You look for the 'Boys to result in the nearly all of their trip out West here and hold off a lethargic house team only wanting to eliminate any serious injuries.
