If you are going to wager on NFL sports betting totals you may want to start by considering the under.Many people do just the opposite with their Internet sports betting and look to take games over. That is not the way to make money playing NFL totals.
Sports betting NFL totals last year saw more games go under the total than go over. Some teams were really tilted towards going under the total. Did you know that there were only nine teams in the NFL that went over the total in their games more than they went under?
There were some really good teams to bet under the total last season vs. the sports betting odds. The New England Patriots and Houston Texans were thought of as offensive teams but they went under in 10 of their 16 games with one push. Arizona was thought to be another offensive team and they went under in 11 of their 16 games. San Francisco also went under in 11 of 16 games. The Dallas Cowboys are thought of as a team that scores a lot of points but you may be surprised to learn that 10 of their 16 games last season went under the total. The Chicago Bears, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Carolina Panthers and Buffalo Bills also went under in 10 of their 16 games. Baltimore went under in Internet sports betting in 9 of their 16 games with one push.
There were eight teams that went under in 9 of their 16 games. Those teams were the Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns, Denver Broncos, New Orleans Saints, Oakland Raiders, Cincinnati Bengals, St. Louis Rams and Seattle Seahawks. The New York Jets went under in eight games, over in seven games with one push. Four teams went exactly .500 in terms of over/unders at 8-8. They were the Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings.

The Indianapolis Colts, Washington Redskins and Tennessee Titans went over in nine games. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Miami Dolphins went over in nine games and went under in seven games with one push. Kansas City went 9-5-2 to the over in sports betting.
