NFL betting lines show favorites and underdogs every week during the NFL season. Most gamblers will look to the favorites in NFL betting odds but is that a good idea? Are underdogs worth a serious look? NFL betting lines go up and down throughout the season as team’s fortunes rise and fall. The NFL is full of parity and it seems anything can happen each season. This is good news if you are wagering on underdogs versus the NFL betting lines.
The thing to remember about underdogs in NFL \lines is that they don’t need to win the game straight up. Even a team like Detroit can cover the NFL odds without winning the game. True, you probably don’t want to wager on the Lions, but that doesn’t mean they can’t cover the NFL betting odds. In the NFL teams don’t have to win by large margins like they do in college football to impress the pollsters. A victory by one point counts the same as a win by 30 points.
