New England hosts the Miami Dolphins in an important early game between two teams that figure to be on the playoff bubble. They are sitting -3 but you can flip that from giving a field goal to getting one at +3 with a teaser. Often, teasers involve two teams, but some sportsbooks allow up to 10 bets in a teaser. Finally to make this just a little more complex, you can also split your stakes by using the Over/Under 2.25 goals market. One half of your stake will go on the 2.5 goals line and the other half on the 2 goals line.

So that’s the sort of thing to avoid – what do you want to go for? A game that would match this strategy perfectly as I write this is Blackburn v Chelsea. Going back to the Lay The Draw method, remember that if the draw odds are above 5, then the good sensible thing to do would be to leave that game alone, as the risk becomes too high for the reward. Of course, if draw odds are over 5 then there is also usually a clear winner, such as in the Arsenal v West Ham example below which I also mentioned on the Lay The Draw page.

It can also be used to break even on the match should one or the other go wrong.

Consider Team Selection

One of the worst mistakes, and no less common in sports betting, is to get carried away. It can easily happen to any player especially after a lucky break. We all want a direct win prediction and win a lot of money quickly. This can cause us to become confident and relaxed, to stop analyzing and filtering, and to bet on games that have a worse odds or are easier to get right. Or worse, lose control over how much we can afford to bet.

Professional football players are paid handsomely to go out there and give it their all on Sunday, every Sunday. But there are certain games, especially in NFL Week 17, where some teams simply just don’t care. Conversely, a team that struggles to score because its quarterback is inefficient, might find success against a weak rush defense if they have a quality running back. There are certain games that appear a lock to hit the over or under at first glance, but when you look deeper into the match-ups you’ll discover your initial assumption was incorrect.
