Anyone that gets involved with the sports betting sites understands that sometimes the simplest approach is the best approach. When it comes to NFL betting, there are two ways in which you can win by using the simplest of methods. Remember that there is no betting method that is perfect and can guarantee results. But methods that will get you better than 50 percent in the win column is at least worth investigating.

The bookie software sets the lines based on several conditions. But when a high-scoring team plays a low-scoring team, the line will almost always skew towards the high-scoring team. As a matter of fact, the five highest scoring teams in the league in any given season usually win at least 60 percent of their games against the spread. All you have to do is determine if a team is a top-five scoring team and then place your bet. It is that simple.

Another easy indicator of how a team will play is its home and away record. If you write or follow any other sports website such as a hockey blog, then you know that teams tend to establish patterns of winning and losing on the road. After the midway point of the season, you can use these tendencies to make some money. If a team has a winning record at home, then you can take the bet that it will win its next home game. More often than not, you will be right.
