Key NFL Betting Numbers and How to Use Them

 

When betting team totals, one very important factor in this equation is the conference in which they play. Never underestimate the power of the “power conferences”. What do we mean by this?

The power conferences are exactly that; power packed, and most of them have several teams that will lose very few games.

The Power Conferences:

ACC	Big Ten	Big 12	Pac-12	SEC
Boston College	Illinois	Baylor	Arizona	Alabama
Clemson	Indiana	Iowa State	Arizona State	Arkansas
Duke	Iowa	Kansas	California	Auburn
Florida State	Maryland	Kansas State	UCLA	Florida
Georgia Tech	Michigan	Oklahoma	Colorado	Georgia
Louisville	Michigan State	Oklahoma State	Oregon	Kentucky
Miami	Minnesota	TCU	Oregon State	LSU
North Carolina	Nebraska	Texas	USC	Mississippi
NC State	Northwestern	Texas Tech	Stanford	Mississippi State
Pittsburgh	Ohio State	West Virginia	Utah	Missouri
Syracuse	Penn State		Washington	South Carolina
Virginia	Purdue		Washington State	Tennessee
Virginia Tech	Rutgers			Texas A&M
Wake Forest	Wisconsin			Vanderbilt

Every single year these conferences hit it hard and they send a lot of teams to college bowl games. A lot of these teams end up with great records. Knowing exactly who to pick on the yearly team total can be a serious challenge. Are you up for the task?

Cashing In on Line Movements at Online Sportsbooks

Betting the power conferences is difficult for a few reasons. One that really sticks out is the level of competition. They all play each other and predicting who will win 10 or 11 games is not going to be easy.

Can Alabama be beaten? What about Clemson or Miami? How will Oklahoma do without Baker? Has USC turned the corner? What about Chip Kelly at UCLA? Will he be the savior of the program and give them the kind of offense that he ran in Oregon?

A lot of questions exist when it comes to knowing what teams have a shot at 9 and 10 wins and even more. You are probably not a professional handicapper. You probably have nowhere near the kind of time that would be necessary in order to handicap all of the teams in the power conferences.

Here is a friendly suggestion. Don’t bet them! That’s right. Don’t bet the team total from any of the power conferences.

Parlay Betting - Successful Strategy or Bankroll Buster

Now you are probably scratching your head and asking, then why the big build-up? Simple. It is to prove a point.

We are not saying to not bet individual teams. Obviously you want to stick with what you know from week to week. Bet the teams that can bring you football betting value.

What we are saying is to not give the total in the power conferences, the time of day. It’s an enormous risk and who needs the loss at the end of the year? Nobody!

Who to bet concerning totals?

We believe that the smaller conferences get a bad rap and we also believe that when it comes to gambling on college football totals, there is value to be found in lesser known, but quality schools.

Boise State:

Many “Vegas” types felt that the Broncos hit the brakes last season. They thought they were off the beaten path in terms of getting back to what they once were. Maybe this is true on a national championship, at conversation-level.

Honestly, look at the bigger picture. When has Boise State ever been in a serious national championship conversation?

Does the NFL Preseason Mean Anything, is it Worth Betting?

Check with your favorite bookie and find out exactly what they are offering on the total wins for the Broncos.

You should see 10. If you do, jump on the over. The Broncos went 11-3 last year and that was a “down year”! This years Broncos are going to be very good on offense, defense and special teams.

They feature an experienced, fourth year quarterback that could wind up in Heisman talks. Check out their schedule and get in on a great bet and get in now, before the season kick off.
