During the NFL season, win totals and to make/miss the playoffs bets can often be profitable plays and good ways to fade/back a team as they navigate through their schedule. I love adding these bets to my season-long portfolio since we are acting with information about the current team and the adjusted schedule strength instead of working solely off of priors.
Entering a bet at the right time can be very beneficial as well. Simply by looking ahead at the next four games of a team’s schedule, you can plot out the likely wins and see if you can find deficiencies in the offered numbers. These markets are some of the last to move. Generally, they are not attracting max bets, and the payouts are between -150 and +150, making them an excellent market to attack.
Let’s look at a couple that have some value based on my numbers:
