    The Eagles, giants, and cowboys showed us what we need to know about the NFC EAST. Don't bank your money on them unless they are underdogs, avoid as much as you can when they are favored. Redskins aren't quite with the others so might be the safer bet when RGIII is RGIII again. He hasn't proven himself to be a turnover magnet like the other 3 teams. If you didn't see the Chiefs you missed what not turning the ball over can do for you in the NFL. I don't remember what I heard the stat was before but I think it was 70% of teams who win the turnover battle will win the game something to keep in mind when doing your in-game betting.

    Another concept to remember is that teams that go up a quick 3 tds don't always cover the new in-game spread from that point on especially if you wait til halftime. Redskins and Rams can point to that as being true as they both covered the halftime line this weekend. Teams that are ahead relax and teams that are down like to save face to build as momentum for the next week.

    The patriots might be fade material right now but they will bounce back when gronk is back and draws some attention away from the young receivers. So don't bank on patriots as guaranteed fade material I would look at the NFC East first depending on whose favored or not.

    Ride the Bears early and often, until the middle of the season, when there usually collapse occurs. Same goes for the Broncos, Peyton is no stranger to starting the season hot, Take the double digit dogs as they historical do cover more and if you don't know why listen closely, good teams don't care to beat the crap out of bad teams, they just want to win and move on to the next and more challenging game, that is why bad teams always have a chance to cover. Its just a difference in psychology and preparation.

    One final piece of betting advice remember the teams and players are human and that is why we play the game, so don't think cause one team beat another by 21 points the following week narrowly win to a 20 point underdog. (I hope you got the betting reference for this week's bet) It's expected it's the NFL, games will be tight, and bets will come down to the 4th quarter. Your 7 point dog with a 4 point lead can be a td and a late meaningless td away from a loss that's the game that's played and being aware when and how it can happen will help you collect more money.

    The point of my discussion is simple, don't forget history can and will repeat itself so please share the information we have learned through the years to better help the betting community. Please post your betting rules of thumb and let's get the discussion going.

Same goes for the Broncos, Peyton is no stranger to starting the season hot, Take the double digit dogs as they historical do cover more and if you don't know why listen closely, good teams don't care to beat the crap out of bad teams, they just want to win and move on to the next and more challenging game, that is why bad teams always have a chance to cover. Its just a difference in psychology and preparation.

    One final piece of betting advice remember the teams and players are human and that is why we play the game, so don't think cause one team beat another by 21 points the following week narrowly win to a 20 point underdog. (I hope you got the betting reference for this week's bet) It's expected it's the NFL, games will be tight, and bets will come down to the 4th quarter. Your 7 point dog with a 4 point lead can be a td and a late meaningless td away from a loss that's the game that's played and being aware when and how it can happen will help you collect more money.

    The point of my discussion is simple, don't forget history can and will repeat itself so please share the information we have learned through the years to better help the betting community. Please post your betting rules of thumb and let's get the discussion going.

    Unfortunately turnovers are the most difficult stats to handicap for and predict in the NFL.  One week a team could turn it over 5 times and then not turn it over for 2 weeks. No consistency in that stat.  Typically when a team turns it over a bunch, then that is the first issue that get addressed for the next week.

    There is always one surprise team every year but other than that it does always level out to the same good teams and the same bad teams.  

    BTW I think that surprise team this year might be Kansas City.

    Do you think betting on a team winning the turnover battle but losing the game at halftime is a smart bet? If your 70% statistic is accurate, it sounds like this could make you some money

    Well said Bossman. Remember no team is as bad as they were last week and no team will be as good the following week with a few exceptions.

    actually, the same teams commit the most turnovers every week

    just ask the eagles--they've been doing it for 3 years

    RAMS dominated their division last year, and they quietly have gotten better! No one talks about them, and I think they are playing with a HUGE CHIP on their shoulder! This seasons BIGGEST surprise team IMO! GL

    Good points.

    Big picture should always outweigh, last week.  The Seattle game was an easy throw-away game this week for me.  On paper, Seattle wins this game by 40.  But a couple turnovers, a bad bounce, bad call, or (dare I say) some Jacksonville LIFE, will throw it into chaos.

    I try to look for games with as little as variance as possible. Not saying I'm always right, and certainly doesn't always work, but...

    Take the Jets/Bills game.  Two average teams (at best) with two rookie QB's playing.  Easy no play.  Either one could be due to lay a major egg. 

     

    Sometimes the best bets you make, are the ones you don't.

    Is it me or does this Chiefs team remind anybody of that Tennessee team that won all those games that one year and almost went undefeated during the regular season?

    I swear I think KC has the same kind of year.  Ride KC all year, they'll def make you money.

    Jags +19.5, Raiders +15, Arizona +7.5, Rams +4...all seem solid this week...for me it's staying disciplined, number of picks a week and the amount per bet.  Bankroll management is important if you want to make it to the end of the season up money.

    The double digit line went 1-1-1 or 1-2 or 2-1 depending on what raiders line you got for the win and indy even got the game straight up. I think the Jags are just that bad. Happy to see the Bears come through as usual looks their hot start should be here this year. But we see how they will fare against the lions this week who are looking to be that surprise team too.
