Do you want to be a big baller this week? The answer is clearly YES! This doesn’t just happen automatically, though — you’ve got to put in some work! Luckily, I’ve done some of that work for you and hopefully we’ll put that grimy, disgusting bookie where he belongs — the poorhouse!
Most of the betting tools I discuss in this article each week are specific to the spread, but I’ve recently been relying on a method to predict totals that I’ve had some success with.
Basically, you look for a totals trend such as this example from Week 10: The total has gone UNDER in six of the Buccaneers' last seven games at home. In those seven games, I determine what the average score was and compare it to the total for the team’s upcoming game. In the case of this Bucs example, the average combined score in those games was 30.9 and the total for their game vs the Jets was 44. As a result, I placed a bet on the UNDER and the teams combined to score just 25 points in that game. There are multiple standout cases for this below, so keep your eyes peeled.
