NFL bets are going to be made each season and many of them are going to be decided by just a few points. The National Football League is all about parity and equality. Since there is very little difference between the teams and most of the pro football betting line is based on public perception and home field, the dog is often a value and bargain for gamblers willing to go that way.
NFL made on the underdog are not as popular as NFL on the favorite in pro football betting. Contrary to popular myth and opinion though, the dog is not always the weaker of the two teams in pro football betting. Most of the time the dog is installed that way based on public perception rather than true merits. If you have a matchup of two equal teams for example, the home team usually will lay three points as a customary handicap with NFL . That means that the equal team is getting, in essence, free points. That is an edge against the house in NFL . Now just think if the lesser of the two teams is the chalk, only because they are the host. Now you really have a bargain and it happens a lot in pro football betting.
