I think the move is iffy. It's not true that Belichick is
one of those coaches that doesn't care. Pats went 0-4 in
preseason last year but he was 33-18 ATS going into that,
one of the best pcts among active coaches.
Andy Reid fits the bill more than Belichick as a coach who
does not put a priority on winning preseason. Reid is 14-26
career in preseason.
Thinking must be that Brady will only make a token appearance
and then you get the back-ups that have little experience
for the bulk of the game.
