We will profit for you over the season, and all you will have to do is login to view the plays and make the bets at the top sportsbooks in the world. How do you guess correctly the outcome of a game? Well you have to break down what each team has done in the past, then project current variables that are relevant for these similar circumstances. Basically it boils down do putting in enough time and effort breaking down the two teams playing. The point spread should accurately reflect the strength of one team over the other, and if it doesn’t then is it set to balance the action? A good sports handicapper knows the difference and realizes that each game has a little bit of both.

Football is a physical game. You have to be able to run the ball down the throat of your opponent while your defense has to stop opposing rushers in their tracks. This is a big key when it comes to winning games and these are the stats that good football handicappers are aware of. Keep in mind both the average yards rushing and the rushing yards allowed and you won’t be surprised at how the better teams are.

Recent performance is another factor to key in on with your football handicapping. What has each team done the past couple weeks, how have they done recently against the current opponent, are there certain motivations coming into play, how do the styles of play matchup, how the weather affects the football game, and what’s the injury situation are some beginning questions to ask yourself.

Another thing that good bettors do is avoid handicapping games when they are pressing. If you have a losing day then you need to take a break and refresh, come back to it when your emotions are in check. If you are betting with your head and not your heart then you won’t try to catch your losses and you’ll end up winning more in the long run. Remember it’s a marathon and not a sprint.

One important handicapping tip that we can’t preach enough is line shopping. If you have a four or five good internet sportsbooks then you can get some great value on your bets and win more games. Why bet a game at +7 when you can get +7.5 somewhere else? It doesn’t make any sense, and having several accounts to choose from doesn’t make any sense either.

If you want to win more with your football betting this year then you should think about purchasing a package from our handicappers. Nobody works harder at beating the college football lines and NFL spreads each week than our guys do and that is why their football picks hit at such a high rate.
