The first week of the 2022-23 NFL betting season is in the books. All 32 teams now have at least one game under the belt, and there’s been a bevy of line movement that’s occurred with the betting public already jumping to conclusions. Welcome to “Overreaction Week” otherwise known in the industry as Week 2. The odds have been bouncing all over the place because of it even though NFL bettors only have a single game’s worth of information made readily available to draw conclusions from. Let’s dig ... 

Are you ready for another week of ugly dog picks in the NFL? We got off to a good start last week going 3-1 and this week we have a couple more plays to make six in total. Some of the best bets in the NFL each week are oftentimes wagers on teams that are considered the worst in the league. If you want to win money betting NFL games then you need to be willing to take teams no one else wants to bet. We refer to these teams as ugly dogs and you really have to hold your nose sometimes when you bet on them, but history has shown that going against the public works. Let’s look at the NFL Week 2 Ugly Dog picks. ... 

The kickoff of regular season NFL action on Prime Video on Thursday Night is an excellent matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs. Both teams have high-powered offenses and it could be a shootout on Thursday night. Both teams looked good last week, as the Chargers handled the Raiders, while the Chiefs routed the Cardinals. The Chiefs ha... 

With the game evolving in favor of the offense over the years and the forward pass the norm instead of the exception, we’ve seen scores increase around the league. And oddsmakers have had to adjust in order to keep up. Preseason results are a sign that we could see even more points on the board during the 2022 NFL regular season. The Dallas Cowboys led the NFL averaging 31.2 points last season but cashed the OVER in less than half their games.... 

One of the more popular types of wagers for bettors who test the NFL lines and spreads are teaser bets. Similar to parlays, however teasers allow you to move the spread or total by as much as six points with a minimum of two wagers. Most sportsbooks, including BookMaker.eu, allow bettors to increase their points at a price and more wagers are also accepted allowing for a higher payout on a winning ticket. In order to cash that ticket all wagers in the teaser need to win.... 

If you have some disposable cash to play with and want to increase the entertainment value of your NFL week, parlay bets are a fun investment. A parlay consists of multiple bets on the same ticket with shops accepting as many as 12 bets, though the numbers and odds vary at different sportsbooks. And you can have different types of bets on the same ticket, but they all must win in order to pay out. Winning nine bets on a 10-team parlay makes for a great story, but it’s still a loser. ... 

The 2022-23 NFL betting season kicks off Thursday night when Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills square off against the defending champion Los Angeles Rams. Betting action is expected to be rampant with NFL bettors getting their first taste of regular season action. I can’t think of a better time to take a deep dive into the current Super Bowl LVII odds to get the lay of the land before the games actually start to count. More importantly, let’s get a better idea of which teams the market is bullish... 

Let’s Ride Denver! The Denver Broncos have the franchise quarterback they have coveted ever since Peyton Manning retired after the Broncos won Super Bowl 50. Denver tried and failed to develop a quarterback on its own, so the Broncos said enough was enough this offseason and dealt a package of players and draft picks to the Seattle Seahawks for Russell Wilson. Now, they have real playoff hopes for the first time in seven years, and they will look to start off with a win against the Seahawks.Week... 

For the second straight season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Dallas Cowboys will square off during primetime in Week 1. Tampa Bay kicked a last-second field goal to beat Dallas in the season opener last year, and the Cowboys haven’t forgot the sting of that loss. Dallas would love to make Tampa Bay start the season 0-1 this time, but the Cowboys are a short underdog at home on Sunday Night Football. On Sunday, September 11, 2022, the Dallas Cowboys will play host to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET with NBC broadcasting the game. ... 

The first week of the 2022 NFL regular season is upon us and it is time to once again look at ugly dog picks. Some of the best bets in the NFL each week are oftentimes wagers on teams that are considered the worst in the league. If you want to win money betting NFL games then you need to be willing to take teams no one else wants to bet. We refer to these teams as ugly dogs and you really have to hold your nose sometimes when you bet on them, but history has shown that going against the public works. The 2021 season was definitely an anomaly, as for the first time in recent memory, the ugly dog picks did not have a winning record. If history holds true, the 2022 season should be a major bounce back for these picks. Let’s look at the Week 1 Ugly Dog picks. ... 

The 2022 NFL season gets underway on Thursday, September 8 with a Week 1 clash between the Buffalo Bills and Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams on NBC. According to preseason prognosticators, this is a likely Super Bowl LVII matchup with both teams strong up and down their roster. There’s always a question about the dreaded Super Bowl hangover and the Rams will endure a stiff test from the l... 

The Detroit Lions visit the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday afternoon in Week 3 NFL Preseason action on CBS. As training camp opened, there was tremendous excitement for the Lions and Steelers. First round draft picks Aidan Hutchinson of Detroit, and Kenny Pickett of the Steelers have triggered the hopes and dreams of their fan bases. Following the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers are grooming Pickett as their next quarterback. Hutchinson arrived in Detroit from the nearby University of Michigan, where he was an All-American. Although the Steelers made the expanded NFL playoffs, it was obvious they didn’t belong. The Kansas City Chiefs blew them off the field. ... 

The last week of the preseason takes place this week with games taking place from Thursday through Sunday. Week 3 of the NFL Preseason is difficult for oddsmakers and for bettors because many teams are not playing their starters. It used to be that you could count on starters getting a certain amount of playing time but that is no longer the cas... 

The Baltimore Ravens visit the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday Night in Week 2 NFL Preseason action on FOX. The Ravens have been perfect in the preseason going back multiple years, as John Harbaugh continue to pile up preseason victories. The Ravens have won 21 straight preseason games. You have to go back to the 2015 preseason for the last time Baltimore lost a preseason contest. Bettors have been backing the Ravens in this game, as Baltimore opened as a 3.5-point favorite and the line is up to 6. Let’s look at Sunday night’s game and NFL preseason picks. ... 

The first week of NFL preseason action is in the books giving bettors a glimpse into what the teams have. Week 2 could offer up a different perspective, though, since this is the time teams would trot out starters for their most extended action. A change in the preseason schedule ahead of last season essentially made this set of games what coaches often refer to... 

The return of football is a glorious time for those who enjoy wagering on sports. The most popular game on the planet is back this week with the 2022 preseason getting started with a full slate of games. Now, here’s a tip when betting on preseason games: Take everything you know about wagering on the NFL regular season and throw it out the window. That’s because the rules are completely different, the rosters are full of unknowns and coaches are looking to evaluate personnel. In other words, there isn’t much of an emphasis on winning. And that’s why there are some vanilla lines, especially when it comes to the first week. ... 

At the onset of future market gambling, four teams stand apart as favorites for a dubious distinction. The Atlanta Falcons, Houston Texans, Chicago Bears, and Seattle Seahawks are the top picks of the gambling public to score the fewest points in the NFL this season. While those picks are obvious, they are also well founded. All four teams are facing the prospects of either a poor quarterback or the lack of a quality supporting cast. With the possible exception of the Bears, none of these teams ... 

To begin with, the Buffalo Bills are one of the most popular brands on the NFL future market. And a big reason why is that they have one of the best offenses in pro football. In fact, the Bills are expected to score the most points in the 2022 NFL season. And there are some understandable choices right behind the Bills. The Kansas City Chiefs are a natural choice with quarterback Patrick Mahomes and a strong high octane football track record. Meanwhile, Tom Brady is back with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their strong supporting cast. ... 

The wait is finally over. Specifically, on Thursday night, the NFL will open the preseason with a national prime time matchup. The Las Vegas Raiders will face the Jacksonville Jaguars. Despite the revolving door of substitutions with unknown players, fans don’t care. Nor do they worry about not knowing the players' names in the game. Instead, it’s all about the laundry. Two teams will be on a field playing football in NFL uniforms. TV ratings and betting handles will dwarf the regular season num... 

At the onset of the season, Matt Rhule is on the hottest seat in the NFL. At least according to the gambling public. Rhule is on top of the board to be the first coach fired in the 2022 season. Indeed, Rhule has not moved the needle in two years as the head coach of the Carolina Panthers. But other choices down the board could bring more potential value. And then there are other coaches am... 

The NFL Preseason is rapidly approaching, with the NFL Hall of Fame Game between the Las Vegas Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars set for Thursday, August 4. With that in mind, it's time to recalibrate with NFL preseason betting strategies.Unlike the teams inv... 

There is an age-old belief that NFL prop bets are like playing the lottery. Many believe there isn’t much science to prop betting that it’s a lot about random luck. Other players point out that there are so many props listed these days that you can find some in which a handicapping analysis is possible. Further, insiders will often confide that sportsbooks don’t put as much effort into their prop bet lists. Offsetting that is the fact that the house edge is usually higher for prop bets compared ... 

In the world of NFL gambling, trends are one of the most common go-to sources of information for determining who to bet on. This trait is especially the case for new or casual bettors. Trends give handicappers a simple, digestible breakdown of how both teams have been performing recently. By comparing both teams' head-to-head trends and looking for situations where one team's trend lines up well aga... 

At the beginning of each season is the importance of a remedial course on NFL key numbers. Many handicappers overdue the research and drill down too far on teams and transactions. But NFL key numbers go a long way to simplifying the law of gravity for pro football betting.When paying attention to discourse in the betting community, you’ll often hear or see people discussing line moves. But, some lin...
