Betting on NFL Games Late in the Season

Betting on NFL games late in the season has changed in recent years with the increased amount of playoff teams and that has made these games both less and more meaningful, depending on the situation. This has served to increase the NFL betting challenge for handicappers who have to closely monitor the specific motivational angles of each team. Action late in the year can be fun but also challenging. Beyond that, because there is so much parity in the NFL, the dynamics of each team can change, often multiple times within the same season and who was down may be up and vice versa in NFL betting. Late in the season you will notice as you are games that certain teams face must-win games while other teams are just playing out the string. If these teams matchup in a game the team that has to win is not always a good wager in NFL betting. Time and time again the team that must win lets gamblers down that are games.
