Tip#1 - Do your homework
You have to understand that to be a successful football handicapper it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to your football handicapping. You must to be willing to put in countless hours of handicapping going over stats, injuries, trends, weather, ats, power ratings, etc, if you plan on having a prosperous football season.

Tip#2 - Always get the best number
With a number of quality sportsbooks available now a days, point spreads vary from sportsbook to sportsbook. It is imperative to make sure you are always getting the best possible number available. You wouldn't want to do a good job handicapping the game and end getting a push or a loss just because your book didn't have the best number. Always try to have a few different sportsbook accounts funded at all times during the nfl football season, because a 1/2 point can be the difference between a win and a push. Check out our sportsbook page for 4 quality sportsbooks with lines that often vary from book to book.

Tip#3 - Straight up records can be misleading
When doing your football handicapping, don't just judge a team by their straight up record, see how they do against the spread. For example San Francisco had a good record of 11-7 last year but they were just 4-12-2 against the spread, where as Baltimore and Carolina had poor records of 7-9 on the year but both teams were a profitable 10-6 ATS. Don't be fooled by a teams place in the standings because it can be deceiving to their results against the spread. You can view the latest up to date NFL Football ATS records here.

Tip#4 - Know your numbers
NFL football is a numbers game and the key to beating your book is understanding those numbers and using them to your advantage in your nfl handicapping. Over half of NFL games end with only 10 different scoring differences. These numbers are 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 14, and 17, with 3 and 7 being the most probable endings. A 1/2 point move off any of these numbers can be significant, which again goes back to having different sportsbooks to make sure you get the best number available.

Tip#5 - Forget about the bad days
Don't let one horrible NFL Sunday ruin your season. Measure results based on the season not short term. Everyone is going to have losing days, that is inevitable in this business. Don't get distressed, stay focused and disciplined in your football handicapping and remember there is always next week.

While we could go on and on due to time and space we will stop here. Remember football handicapping takes a lot of hard work and countless hours of handicapping to be a winner.
