Best NFL Bets to Make

But even with the amount of attention that people pay to the NFL when making their bets, all too often they are choosing the wrong bets to make. That’s why it is always a good idea to stick to the bets and trends that give you the best shot to come out a winner in the long run. With this being the case, here is a look at some of the best NFL Bets to make. 

Betting against Amazing Performances

With the amount of film and video footage that is available to NFL defensive coordinators and players, teams know what to look for from their opponents. So it’s pretty uncommon for teams to keep putting up tons of points week in and week out – even if they’re a great offensive team. It’s even harder for a team to hold their opponents to under 10 points while maintaining this offensive explosion. 

But at some point in the season, you might see a team manage to put up 30 points in two straight weeks and hold their opponents to under 10 points. If you do happen to see this trend then you need to jump on it as quickly as possible! Teams that experience this caliber of play for two straight games during a season can rarely keep it up so it’s definitely a good bet to wager against teams coming off these kinds of performances.

When you bet against a team that has scored 30 points and held opponents to under 10 points then you’re almost guaranteed to win. They will rarely ever cover the spread in these situations. The only problem with this bet is that it doesn’t come around much since most teams can’t carry this level of play for two straight games. Still, you need to pay attention to the scores over the course of the season and bet heavy when you see this wager available.

Betting Back-to-Back Road Games

All of the screaming fans that populate NFL stadiums give the home teams an incredible advantage. With this being the case, road teams definitely have a tough task when trying to win away from home; they’ve got an even worse chance of winning back-to-back road games. And this leads us to a very profitable bet which involves road teams and losses.

There will be plenty of times where you’ll see a road team drop its first game during the course of back-to-back road games. This is where the chance arises to make some real money since betting on the road team to cover the spread in their second game will win between 55 and 60 percent of the time.

The logic behind this statistic is that teams who lose on the road are not only going to give more effort to win the following game, but they also are going to be more used to playing the on road after coming off an away game. As with any bet though, you should still do your research when betting on a road team coming off of a loss just to make sure it’s a solid wager.

Wagering on Winless Teams after Bye Weeks

Every NFL team gets a bye week during their 16 game season which gives them a week without having to play a game. During this bye week, teams have extra time to heal up from injuries and regain their focus during a grueling season. Teams that have yet to win a game late in the season especially need this bye week so they can come out with fire in their next game in hopes of capturing a win.

And, as you might have guessed, winless teams do muster up quite a bit of fire after coming out of a bye week which leads to most of them covering the spread. In fact, winless teams coming out of bye weeks beat the spread (or even their opponent) at an amazing rate which makes this one of the most profitable NFL bets to make.
