Betting on NFL opening lines presents gamblers with plusses and minuses. The NFL betting lines are set for a particular reason and the opening numbers you see are not necessarily what you will see later in the week. Let’s take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of betting on NFL opening lines. Betting on NFL opening lines means that you will be wagering on the first number put out by the oddsmakers on Sunday evening for the upcoming week’s games. Those NFL betting lines can be the most difficult for the oddsmakers to set as they are based on a combination of the final results from that very day’s action along with the general abilities of the two teams involved along with their reputations, injuries, etc.
The idea that the oddsmakers have is to make the NFL betting lines such that there will be equal appeal towards both teams in a matchup so that the house will collect its ten-percent “vig” on all bets and make a profit regardless of who wins. If you have a strong opinion you might want to take a shot betting on NFL opening lines.
