Have had a huge day today (lost first 2 Sunday's).
Not trying to sound like an smart ass but I never have understood these type threads about the NFL. Honestly not sure what most mean by saying how hard it is too beat the NFL. Shouldn't it be as hard as any other sport? They post numbers that are right down the middle and is 50/50 so I guess I dont understand why some say this is harder than any other sport.
Nothing should be obvious when you are betting as the pointspreads evens everything out. I mean for every side that you are losing on are they a complete obvious side even with the spread attached?
Once again I am not at all trying to be a smart ass as I dont see it this way at all. One thing I think most people do with the NFL is since the games are talked about for a week everyone puts way too much stock into the last week results and overbets the so called team that is playing well when in reality the value is on the side that may not be as bad as they looked at least from a value standpoint.
Just trying to help. A couple of guys hit on some key points in this thread. Like taking the opposite. Not saying that is sound handicapping but what he is saying is what I am saying, as that is were the value lies. Prime example of that is Philadelphia Eagles a perininal playoff team -5 against one of the worst franchises in sports and that numbers was based on what EVERYONE seen on MNF last week creating extreme value on Philly. There are spots like this all the the time in the NFL but I think the public interpets them completley wrong. Also the value of the 3 means everything, try to make your bets around it (-2.5 when lines is 3 or +3.5 when consenus is 3), if you can find bets like this pull the trigger blind with no capping involved around key numbers, as those numbers will come into play all the time.
Hope I can help as the NFL to me has always been the easiest sport to beat. Good luck.
