And just like that, Week 5 of the NFL season is upon us, and it comes with an absolute avalanche of NFL betting trends — some new and some I’ll continue to go back to the well on as they continue to hit.
Being four weeks into a season has brought us to a place where league-wide trends are starting to even out a bit, as they tend to do. So far, NFL odds have seen favorites boast a minuscule edge over underdogs, with faves covering in 50.8% of games played. As far as totals go, the Under has hit at a 54.7% clip.
As always, avoid blindly backing trends when making your NFL picks. If you think one is actionable, try to find additional data to back it, and then fire away if you still like what you see.
