Top 5 NFL Betting Tips: 2023-2024 Season

The Kansas City Chiefs have won the NFL Super Bowl. That’s in line with what most people—especially Chiefs fans—anticipate. However, as the old adage goes, “you win some and you lose some,” and this couldn’t be more accurate for gamblers.

There is still a long time until the next Super Bowl, so let’s talk about betting on the 2023-2024 season instead, which begins this coming September. Here are some things to consider in order to increase your betting success in the coming year.

Bet with your Head, not your Heart

It may seem obvious that you should bet with your head rather than your Heart, especially when it comes to betting on your favorite team, but you’d be surprised at how many people make this mistake. Putting aside your personal bias in favor of sound advice is the right thing to do, regardless of whether it’s your favorite team or one you only like if you want to lose your bets.

While rooting for your favorite team is always a good time, it’s important to remember that your squad won’t take home the trophy every time. During the 2022-2023 season, even the Kansas City Chiefs have been flawed. Check the lines, study the injury reports, and make more informed wagers to increase your chances of taking home a few hundred dollars more.

Watch where the game is being Played

As in many other sports, having a favorable home field is crucial in American football. In addition, some teams perform better away from home, while others thrive only when they can play in front of their own fans.

Take the New England Patriots, who went a perfect 42.6 percent at Gillette Stadium between 2014 and 2018. The Seahawks, who have gone 103-41 since 2003, are yet another illustration.

A team’s performance in their next game can often be predicted by looking at their schedule and the venue. Additionally, this is true not only in terms of a home-field advantage but also in terms of time zones. Some Eastern teams struggle when traveling to the West Coast, and the reverse is also true.

Watch the Injury Reports

If there’s one group that pays close attention to injury reports, it’s the sportsbooks. We all know how much injuries can impact a team’s success. After seeing on TV that a star quarterback is injured and won’t play, bettors suddenly shift their attention and money to the other team.

Naturally, this occurs most frequently when the quarterback position is at stake, as it is widely considered to be the most crucial role on any NFL roster. Even if it does, you can bet that the lines will only change much if the player is particularly well-known.

Why do you, as a gambler, care about this? The sportsbook is paying close attention to the injury reports, so you should, too. Why? When the line moves in your favor, you can increase your chances of winning by making strategic wager adjustments.

Consider the Kansas City Chiefs, who might have to start a new season without their starting quarterback because of an injury. The oddsmakers will adjust the line to favor the underdog. Now is the time to bet against the home team, as doing so will cause the sportsbook to move the line in favor of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Spread your Bets

The National Football League offers a wide variety of betting options, including the moneyline, against the spread, over/under, totals, and many others. Gaining an understanding of the various wagers that can be placed on a single game will allow you to maximize your earnings potential.

Take the example of knowing the Kansas City Chiefs will win the game and by a large margin. Bet the spread and the over as well as the moneyline if you think the sportsbook understated the likelihood of an outcome.

Shop for Odds

Finally, it would help if you went odds shopping. There are hundreds of sportsbooks available online, so sticking with one can result in significant financial losses. It’s true that the value difference between sportsbooks on various bets, such as money line or even NFL draft bets, can be as little as a few dollars, but in the long run, you’ll look back and realize that you gained hundreds of dollars by betting on multiple sportsbooks.

Final Thoughts

Since it is the offseason, there is currently no need to rush to sharpen your American Football betting skills. If that’s the case, keeping our advice in mind as the new season should prove very useful. That being said, I wish you the best.
