NFL Picks and Betting Tips

NFL Season Start 2023/24

NFL Predictions Today

During the winter period, it will be hard for the offensive line for every team which will result in more runs instead of passes. A great tip is to find the top teams with a great passing game and focus on them. Or, your NFL picks can focus on teams like Philadelphia, the Eagles defensive line is very strong which helped them reach the number one spot in their group. They will definitely play even better during rain and snowy weather.

Besides moneyline bets from our community, we will have multiple games covered by professional tipsters. The pass defense won’t be as important as the running game. The point spread will get lower in the upcoming months because the plays will get slower. This means that the teams with good defense will conceive even fewer points and those with a great running game will score even more.

NFL Potential Winners

Among our free NFL picks, you can find potential league winners, odds, and schedules for the whole year. There are some great rookies this year who can lead their team to the Super Bowl like Bryce Young and Anthony Richardson who are already on top of the list for the Offensive Rookie of the Year award. Bryce is a QB for the Panthers and Anthony is a QB for the Colts.

There’s a small difference between Kansas and Philadelphia, but every year we have something unexpected happening with one of the teams. A lot of pressure will be on Bengals defense which is also among the top 5 teams this season. The odds are quite low for the rookie quarterback from Panthers even if he’s the leader for the Rookie of the Year Award.

One of the underdogs you can expect great odds on, are Denver Broncos. Even if they are considered an average team, they have signed WR Phillip Dorsett, WR Josh Hammond, and CB Fabian Moreau who are some of the players that can bring value to the team.

Green Bay Packers also made a lot of changes, and released a lot of players but also signed LB Kristian Welch, TE Ben Sims, and LS Matt Orzech. They are definitely some of the teams our experts will include in their free expert NFL picks. Pittsburgh Steelers are also focusing on the offensive team by Bringing Qadree Ollison.

NFL Betting Stats

If you’re thinking of betting on the NFL, a good start is to consider a large sample size of betting stats. This can help you identify historical biases present in the market and advantages for teams in certain situations. Let’s first look at straight-up win-loss betting stats.

Bet on the super bowl with bet365

Straight Up Win-Loss NFL Stats

Below we can see win and loss percentages for teams in certain situations. For example, we can see that home teams win just over 57% of football games. Historically home-field advantage has been worth around 3 points, but this has been challenged recently, with many now believing the advantage to be around 2 points. We can also see an advantage for teams coming off a bye week. Teams in such situations have won just over 55% of their games since 2003.

Situation WIN PCT LOSS PCT
Home Teams 57.4% 42.6%
Away Teams 42.6% 57.4%
Favourites 66.6% 33.4%
Underdogs 33.4% 66.6%
Home Favourites 67.7% 32.3%
Home Underdogs 35.9% 64.1%
Away Favourites 64.1% 35.9%
Away Underdogs 32.3% 67.7%
After A Bye Week 55.1% 44.9%
After A Win 54.0% 46.0%
After A Loss 45.8% 54.2%

Betting Picks Against The Spread (ATS) NFL Stats

When we consider picks against the spread, we can identify a few market biases to consider when betting on NFL games. Firstly, away teams have won just over 51% of bets against the spread since 2003, likewise, underdogs have won almost 51%. As a result, we can see that underdogs playing away games have won against the spread almost 52% of the time. While 52% is not a strike rate to profit given standard bookmaker odds of 1.90 for NFL spread betting, it is certainly a bias to keep in mind. Further, we can see that teams coming off a bye have covered the spread in just over 52% of games.

Situation ATS WIN PCT ATS LOSS PCT
Home Teams 48.8% 51.2%
Away Teams 51.2% 48.8%
Favourites 49.2% 50.8%
Underdogs 50.8% 49.2%
Home Favourites 48.4% 51.6%
Home Underdogs 49.4% 50.6%
Away Favourites 50.6% 49.4%
Away Underdogs 51.6% 48.4%
After A Bye Week 52.1% 47.9%
After A Win 49.6% 50.4%
After A Loss 50.5% 49.5%

Over Under NFL Betting Stats

When we look at points totals, we can see a distinct bias in games featuring teams from the same division, with those games finishing under the points total line just over 53% of the time since 2003. This can be explained by the fact that divisional teams play each other twice each season and are therefore defensively better prepared than when playing teams out of division. In non division games and non conference g ames, where teams play each other rarely, these games have finished with over the points total line, almost 52% of the team. Another bias to keep in mind when betting on NFL points totals.

Situation OVER WIN PCT UNDER WIN PCT
Conference Games 49.0% 51.0%
Division Games 46.9% 53.1%
Playoff Games 49.2% 50.8%
Non Conference Games 51.7% 48.3%
Non Division Games 51.2% 48.8%
Regular Season Games 49.7% 50.3%
