Betting on sports has become a favorite past time in many parts of the world. Every week, millions of dollars are spent by bettors wagering on their favorite National Football League teams. Because there is so much money that is bet on football, an enormous amount of time is being spent by bettors trying to analyze teams and games.

Despite all of the time that bettors spend trying to analyze the many facets of football, a good portion of those persons wagering consistently choose to make the wrong betting decisions. For this reason alone, it is a good idea to stick to the bets and trends that will give you the best chance to come out a winner. The following are a few football bets that will lead you in the direction of winning more football bets than you lose.

Betting against extreme winning or losing streaks is a great betting option when it presents itself. With the amount of footage available within the NFL, it is rare for teams to continually put up points each and every week no matter how good they are offensively.

Things to keep your eye out for include a team that puts up 35 points two weeks in a row while holding the opposing team to under 10 points. The chances that a team can play like this for more than two weeks in a row are extremely rare. If you are lucky enough to come across this trend while betting football, take advantage and place a wager! The downside to this football bet is that it does not come around often enough.

Another very profitable way to bet on football involves home and away games. Think about it. Who usually has the advantage during a sporting event? The home team, of course. That being said, teams on the road have to work harder trying to win away from home. They have an even worse chance of winning more than one football game on the road.

The time to wager is when a team on the road loses it's first game of back to back away games. Betting on the road team to cover the point spread in their second game will win between 55 and 60 percent of the time. Statistics show that teams that lose on the road are going to try harder to win the next game and are more used to playing on the road after one away game.

Hands down the best football wager involves a winless team after a bye week. Taking the time that a bye week offers a team to heal and focus does wonders for leading them to cover the spread. Winless teams coming off of a bye week beat the spread at an alarming rate which, in turn, makes this bet one of the most profitable wagers in football betting.

As you can see, the best wager to use in football is not a straight bet, parlay or a teaser. The best bet that you can make in football has to do with how well you know the players and teams, and just how much you are paying attention to streaks and trends.
