Betting Bad NFL Teams Against the Spread – Many NFL pundits (including ourselves) like to preach that good NFL teams win and bad teams cover. When it comes to NFL gambling, public perception is a huge variable in creating the point spread. How many games actually land close to the number? Not many! This article offers a case study on if betting on bad teams is a good thing or a bad thing.

NFL Teams That Are Due to Cover the Spread – A novice bettor might see a team that is 0-5 ATS as a great go against. A seasoned veteran gambler looks at 0-5 as a team is “due”. This by no means is a sure bet that the team is a lock to cover, it's just that they're more likely to cover than not, because the oddsmakers know that the public will be siding against them. This in turn allows the bookmaker to feather in an extra point or three into the spread, completely sucking the value out of the bad team's opponent. Loot dives deeper into the topic.

Betting Point Spreads vs. Moneylines – Betting moneyline dogs is a very interesting proposition as you can hit less than 50% and still turn a profit. If an NFL team is getting 2.5 points as an underdog, would it be prudent to take them on the moneyline since 1 and 2 aren't key numbers in NFL betting? Loot dives into the topic of whether a guy should bet against the spread or go for the gusto and bet to win straight up.
