2016/17 NFL Betting Tips PT 1

The National Football League has finally kicked off with week 1 now in the books and plenty of action and excitement still in store between now and the time the Super Bowl rolls around in late January of next year. There is a lot to like about the NFL and how everything has been coming together with their increased coverage in the UK and Europe. One of the biggest appeals to a number of people who have just gotten into the American gridiron action is the fact that it is such a great sport for betting – in particular live betting.

American football is a sport with a lot of live betting appeal just like golf and tennis because the games tend to go on for quite a while and a proper tactician can figure it out and place their wagers accordingly.

Being able to understand the logic of American football and combining that with the live betting platforms offered by virtually all major European bookmakers means tha you can put quite a few dollars in your pocket should you get it all right.

Looking ahead at the outright betting for the NFL this year we are looking at the New England Patriots – currently led by a rookie quarterback getting his first real run in the absence of the suspended Tom Brady – as the outright favourites but facing some stiff competition from Aaron Rodgers and his Green Bay Packers outfit.

As it currently stands, you'll find the Patriots as low as 6/1 with several bookmakers but a few going as high as 8/1 right now with the Green Bay Packers trading at a very similar price. Just a step behind that is the Seattle Seahawks and you'll find them trading at about 15/2 or 8/1 right now but nobody is listing them around 6/1.
