"You will not reliably beat sportsbooks by betting on your favorite teams and players sight unseen. Sportsbooks have tons of institutional knowledge and data scientists working around the clock to set the best possible lines. It's very difficult to beat them on your own. So, consume content. Tail professional bettors who you are confident know their stuff and have a proven track record of profitably betting. Listen to NFL podcasts, watch NFL shows and make informed decisions."
"If you like getting your spread bets in mere minutes before kickoff, that's fine -- but it's not optimal. Lookahead lines for NFL spreads and totals are often posted one week in advance -- i.e. there are Week 6 lines available in Week 5 -- although taking these can be risky, as injuries can dramatically affect lines. Those lookahead lines are taken down during the Week 5 action and then are reposted Sunday evening in anticipation of Week 6."
The NFL season prompts many betting options, including spreads, money lines, totals, player props and futures. Sportsbooks maintain extensive institutional data and skilled line-setting teams, making it difficult for individual bettors to consistently win by betting only on favorites. Bettors should consume content, follow profitable professional bettors, and use podcasts and shows to inform decisions. Consider taking spreads and totals early in the week to capture lookahead line value, while recognizing those early lines can be risky because injuries and in-week developments can move markets before kickoff.
