BetUS Sportsbook is your spot for all your NFL betting odds!
The 2008 NFL draft is well in the books and BetUS NFL odds are now available for Week 1 games. So, put on the pads, huddle-up and get your head into the game, because the NFL betting season is just a few months away and opening week is a stellar time to beat the online sportsbooks.
If you wager on NFL action, or any other sport for that matter, you most likely already know that knowledge is power and key to beating point spreads, especially early in the regular season when oddsmakers often release soft lines.
Knowing the strength of all 32 teams before oddsmakers zero in on sharp lines will allow you to detect and take advantage of missed spreads early in the upcoming NFL wagering campaign.
So, do your homework now and study all team's draft selections, off-season moves and statistics from last year. Then, form an analysis for each club based on your studies. Again, knowledge is power, and you can never have enough of it in the online sports betting industry.
In addition to doing your homework early, there's several strong ATS (against the spread) trends you should be mindful of before investing in NFL opening week action. Be careful when banking on home cooking during the first week of the regular season, because NFL home teams in Week 1 are just 31-42-7 ATS since 2003.
Also, don't get choked on chalk. Ironically, favorites are also just 31-42-7 ATS in the opening week over the past five seasons. Luke-warm favorites priced between -3½ and -6½ are only 8-15 ATS during the same span.
Home favorites are 21-32-3 ATS in the first week since 1999. Clubs playing in front of home folks as favorites priced between -3½ and -6½ are just 6-13 ATS in Week 1 games since 2003.
NFL clubs that played in last year's playoffs can be a dangerous selection when the regular season begins. Teams that made the playoffs the previous season versus clubs in Week 1 that failed to reach postseason are just 16-23-3 ATS over the past five years. Home teams in the same scenario are 7-14-1 ATS during the same span.
These are just a few tips and ATS trends for Week 1 helpful in making your NFL opening week a winning one as we countdown the days to kickoff of the 2008-09 season. Be sure to checkout all the BetUS NFL odds for Week 1 games and other future wagers. Good luck!
