NFL Week 15 Betting Primer

Growing up, many of us learned that it’s better to give than it is to receive. In some cases this is true, but when it comes to sports betting, it’s better to completely destroy the bookie’s life than it is to lose a single penny. So, do yourself a favor and increase your chances of receiving during this holiday season by doing some digging around OddsShark. This page is an EXCELLENT starting point.

With nine divisional games on tap this week, and more for Weeks 16 and 17, there are some important divisional trends you should be aware of.

  • The home team in AFC East games is 5-1-1 ATS.
  • The away team in NFC West games is 6-1-1 ATS.
  • The home team in AFC West games is 6-2-1 ATS.
  • The favorite in NFC East games is 7-2 ATS.
  • The favorite in AFC South games is 6-3 ATS.

Home teams and betting favorites are coming out on top more often than not in divisional games, so if you’re on the fence with any of the nine divisional matchups this week, maybe give some extra love to the teams that are home favorites. Or, do the complete opposite if you’d prefer — you’re a grown adult and it’s really none of my business how you spend your money.

No matter which way you choose to go, good luck, and KEEP CHASING THAT PAPER!!! And follow me on Twitter while you’re at it — @JTFOz.
