there is a lot more that goes into nfl football handicapping
than just these tips below, they should be a good starting point if
you are just starting out handicapping nfl football. We have listed
5 football handicapping tips that you should take note of and don't
forget when you go to enter your nfl football bets for the week. These
nfl football handicapping tips are just a small part of what it takes
to be a winner season in and season out.
Tip#1 - Do your homework
You have to understand that to be a successful football handicapper
it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to your football handicapping.
You must to be willing to put in countless hours of handicapping
going over stats, injuries, trends, weather, ats, power ratings,
etc, if you plan on having a prosperous football season.
Tip#2 - Always get the best
number
With a number of quality sportsbooks available now a days,
point spreads vary from sportsbook to sportsbook. It is imperative
to make sure you are always getting the best possible number available.
You wouldn't want to do a good job handicapping the game and end
getting a push or a loss just because your book didn't have the
best number. Always try to have a few different sportsbook accounts
funded at all times during the nfl football season, because a 1/2
point can be the difference between a win and a push. Check out
our sportsbook
page for 4 quality sportsbooks with lines that often vary from
book to book.
Tip#3 - Straight up records
can be misleading
When doing your football handicapping, don't just judge a team by
their straight up record, see how they do against the spread. For
example San Francisco had a good record of 11-7 last year but they
were just 4-12-2 against the spread, where as Baltimore and Carolina
had poor records of 7-9 on the year but both teams were a profitable
10-6 ATS. Don't be fooled by a teams place in the standings because
it can be deceiving to their results against the spread. You can

Tip#4 - Know your numbers
NFL football is a numbers game and the key to beating your book
is understanding those numbers and using them to your advantage
in your nfl handicapping. Over half of NFL games end with only 10
different scoring differences. These numbers are 1, 3, 4, 6, 7,
10, 11, 13, 14, and 17, with 3 and 7 being the most probable endings.
A 1/2 point move off any of these numbers can be significant, which
again goes back to having different sportsbooks to make sure you
get the best number available.
Tip#5 - Forget about the
bad days
Don't let one horrible NFL Sunday ruin your season. Measure results
based on the season not short term. Everyone is going to have losing
days, that is inevitable in this business. Don't get distressed,
stay focused and disciplined in your football handicapping and remember
there is always next week.
While we could go on and on due to
time and space we will stop here. Remember football handicapping
takes a lot of hard work and countless hours of handicapping to
be a winner. Some people don't have the time, effort, or skill to
handicap football. There is no shame in using a sports handicapping
service to guide you to winning football bets. Feel free to get
