I figured I would give you a couple of ideas as to what you should be looking into. These are only a few of things that I find very important in my pre-season research. So here are three factors that I feel are mostly overlooked or under rated for the football season. Offensive and Defensive Styles of each team. Some teams have evenly balanced offensive and some don't.
Some teams defend well against the rush while other defend the rush better.
Knowing what each team's strong and weak points are before the season begins can really pay off big. Position by Position Knowing what certain players bring to the table for a team and how that plays into a game can mean all the difference in the world. Now I am not just talking about key position players like QB's or WR's but everything from the Tight End to the offensive line players should be seriously looked at. Probably one of the most overlooked factors is the team and players attitude. All these things can play a major factor in the way a player performs.
