ADVICE

Lean On Trends And Context For Underdog Covers

  • Take home-field and trends into account when betting large underdog spreads like Carolina +10.5.
  • Use matchup context (weather, injuries, run plan) to justify leaning on underdog covers instead of pure team quality.
INSIGHT

Rematches Often Pivot On One Play

  • Rematches and razor-close division games often come down to a single late play or fourth-quarter decision.
  • Expect playoff inexperience and clutch coaching to swing tight rivalry games rather than season-long metrics.
ADVICE

Be Skeptical Of Props For Recently Injured Players

  • Avoid betting on players returning from long absences at high usage thresholds like four receptions.
  • Favor under or avoid-high props until the player re-establishes role and volume.
