NFL Playoffs - Games to Watch
The NFL Playoffs are a totally different animal than the NFL
Regular season. The amount of “Public” square bets skyrockets.
The culmination of this trend is the Super Bowl, the most
wagered sporting event of the year. Everyone, and their mother,
wagers on the Super Bowl. From the casual “box-office-pool” – to
the professional sports bettor – to the Superbowl commercials:
everyone has some interest in the Superbowl.
For value-minded sports investors, this massive influx of
“Public” money means opportunity. During the NFL Playoffs, odds
makers heavily weigh Public opinion when deciding on a game’s
betting line. They’ll shade a line 2-3 pts knowing that the
Public will be heavily on one side. “Public Money” dwarfs the
amount of “Sharp Money” buying back the shaded lines.
San Diego Charges vs New England Patriots
Our sportsbook contacts tell us that the majority of bets are
coming in on San Diego. The line opened at New England –15.5 but
the early heavy Public action on San Diego has caused a huge
2-point move through the key number of 14.
SportsInsights’ exclusive betting percentages show that the
Public is on San Diego to the tune of almost 6 out of every 10
bets. San Diego has had a great run but is now banged up a bit.
We see good value on New England –13.5 at home.
New England Patriots –13.5 (Bet at
Sports Interaction -13.5)
Playoff Recap
New England Patriots –13.5 (Bet at
Sports Interaction -13.5)
It should be another exciting NFL Weekend. Keep Sports
Marketwatch picks handy and your browser pointed to
SportsInsights.comm for the latest real-time updates, using our
exclusive Sports Investing tools.
I’ll be back next Friday with the new edition of the Sports
Marketwatch.
Enjoy the games!
