NFL Picks & Analysis

NFL

The NFL season runs from August to February, when the majority of games are played. But NFL wagering takes place all year long, from preseason game odds to the Super Bowl. Even better: oddsmakers post NFL betting lines available all year long, and offer for every major event happening with the league. Every NFL game comes with odds for its point spread, total points, moneyline, team totals, and props on players, teams, game scores — even a ton of non-football stuff that includes Twitter, food, and fashion. During the offseason, the NFL Draft, the combine, and other football-related things also carry betting odds. The NFL news cycle churns 24/7, 365 days a year, as do the NFL odds. Check out the NFL Specials to find even more offbeat football stuff on which to wager. The upcoming NFL season already boasts plenty of betting odds available. Thanks to myriad trades and signings, expect the 2022 NFL campaign to play out much differently than last season. Maybe Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers win another Super Bowl — or maybe a team nobody expects goes all the way. The one thing you can always bank on is a season filled with surprises. Despite the excitement, NFL bettors also face the largest challenges. Thankfully, you can find plenty of NFL picks to help guide you, along with free betting credits when you sign up and make a deposit with the sportsbook. The NFL season is just around the corner!

NFL Betting Guide

NFL Betting generates more wagering dollars than any other sport in North America, and only second to soccer as the most bet-on sport around the world. Because of its popularity, an enormous amount of information has become readily available, but often it proves meaningless and becomes overwhelming, leading to over-handicapping, which can be a costly mistake. To help prevent your bankroll from becoming crunched by useless numbers, here are some of the best online NFL Football wagering tips that truly matter.

NFL Betting Tips

1. Location of Game: Look at how teams do at home, away, and versus an opponent against the spread (ATS). Home-field advantage is important and generally worth about three points. Keep in mind that the home team has an edge, but you can't overcompensate and give the hosting team too much credit. Look for teams that have been blown out on the road to bounce back in the next game after returning home.
2. Watch the NFL Odds: When looking over the BetUS NFL odds, be careful not to be influenced by who's listed as the favorite. Consistently picking favorites is a bad habit. Playing underdogs is often a good practice because the public desires favorites, so lines are slanted toward them.
3. Be wary of big favorites: When you do invest in favorites, though, keep in mind that laying more than a touchdown in the NFL is generally not a good idea. It may be ok in college football betting because the difference in talent is often great enough to detect and could warrant giving up double digits, but in pro football, the NFL matchups are rarely overly lopsided.
4. Injuries: Injuries are one of the most overrated stats when it comes to NFL handicapping. The exception to this is the quarterback position. NFL TEAMS are stocked with talented depth, and frequently, a line moves too much based on one player being sidelined. If that happens, look to exploit the line by taking the club with the injury.
5. Pay close attention to weather reports: There are several things to keep in mind when weather becomes a factor. Teams based in warm climates traditionally struggle in cold temperatures. The wind has the biggest effect among all weather elements. Teams that rely on passing the ball are likely to suffer in windy conditions. Meanwhile, wet conditions can help an offense. When on offense, players know their routes and have better footing than defensive players, who are reacting to the ball.
6. Do not put too much stock into the prior week's performance: Momentum is not that big of an issue as in College Football, since everybody in the NFL is a professional and more capable of making adjustments.
7. Do not chase losses: Like in all investments, using smart money management is key to success in NFL betting. Do not increase your bet amounts or bet on more games in order to make up losses. Often, Monday Night Football becomes a make-or-break game, and that further puts your bankroll at risk.
8. Be realistic and selective: Winning 60% of your wagers is great, which few online sports betting enthusiasts can achieve because they over handicap games when all you need are these basic tips that could put you well on your way to a big score.
