Episode notes
Timing Your Bets Matters
- Bet favorites early in the week and underdogs closer to kickoff due to typical line movement.
- This reduces the risk of favorites getting pricier and underdogs becoming less valuable as lines shift.
Avoid QB-Uncertain Lines Early
- Stay away from games when key quarterback injuries or uncertainties exist early in the week.
- Avoid betting on teams laying large spreads on the road without clarity on their QB situation.
Huge Home Dogs Are Red Flags
- Large home underdog lines can signal market disrespect or contextual oddities like short weeks.
- Nick treats unusually big home dogs (Chiefs) as a red flag and prefers to avoid betting those games.
