NFL playoffs lines can often be looked at from a home/road perspective. You may notice the home/road dichotomy of many teams in the football playoffs. There are teams that are superb at home but continually struggle on the road and you must take that into consideration as you bet NFL playoffs lines.
NFL playoff lines will usually have the home team favored a little bit more than normal. Bettors want to back the home squad and usually they are a decent favorite in NFL playoff lines. Look back at what happened with the Seattle Seahawks when they went to the Super Bowl. They were 10-0 at home and a super 8-2 against the pointspread. That season they were only 5-3 on the road and had a losing record of 3-4-1 against the spread. Teams want to play better in front of their home fans and it does matter in the football playoffs. Another part of the home/road equation in NFL playoffs lines is definitely the travel. Visiting teams have to spend time in airports, make a tough trip to an unfamiliar place and have everything disrupted. Home teams get to spend the week working at their own practice facilities, sleeping in their own bed and they are in a great routine in the football playoffs.
