Week 8 odds have arrived and as we approach the midway point of the season, some more unique NFL betting trends are starting to take shape.
I tend to prefer the meat and potato variety of full game trends, but some eye-opening trends for individual quarters and halves have developed, and some are simply impossible to ignore. You’ll notice a handful of these trends below with some logic to back them, and I’ll most certainly be pulling the trigger on a few in my other content this week.
Keep in mind that with first quarter trends and first quarter spread and moneyline bets in general, there’s an element of luck involved that doesn’t really impact full-game bets. That element is who receives the ball first. If you bet on a team to cover that first quarter spread, and they get the ball first, they’re highly likely to have more possessions, meaning more opportunities to score.
So, if you too are making some first quarter wagers this week as a part of your NFL picks, best of luck with that pregame coin toss… it’s too bad we can’t bet on that too!
Anyway, let’s get into the latest NFL odds!
