Can this get any easier? Based on the way the expert NFL analysts of Bleacher Report are currently faring this season, it can not get much tougher.
Picking every match, Gary Davenport, Brad Gagnon and Brent Sobleski had another challenging run in Week 12, dropping their album . Individually and as a crew, here is the harm through 12 weeks (a week’s documents in parentheses):
1. Gary Davenport: 92-78-6 (7-8)
2. Brent Sobleski: 81-89-6 (7-8)
3. Brad Gagnon: 78-92-6 (5-10)
Consensus choices: 83-87-6 (7-8)
With December looming, we asked longtime sports gambling advisor Dave Tuley if there could be some light at the end of the tube to the betting public or when the sportsbooks will continue to benefit from bigger samples late in the summer season.
Tuley gave us a hope, but not sufficient to get.
“There was a time under a dozen years back where I had a bunch of years in a row where I just killed it the next half of the year and in December,” he said. “At that time, I felt like it was just the time of year once the great teams were overrated and the bad teams were being underrated, and with parity exactly what it was, the underdogs were performing a whole lot better at that moment.”
However, Tuley notes that neither the books nor the bettors have struck benefits in Decembers. “Just as bettors wish to think that we are getting smarter the more people see these teams play,” he said,”clearly the oddsmakers are seeing the same things we are, and they are adjusting and making it tough also.”
However, he believes it’s possible to pick out lines which have been exaggerated by midseason streaks and/or slumps. In particular, he pointed at the 7.5-point distribute in favor of the New Orleans Saints in a road matchup with the NFC East-leading Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night.
With that line, oddsmakers are suggesting the Saints will be favored by as many as 13 or 14 points if that game were in New Orleans, which will seem high considering that the Cowboys are riding a three-game winning streak.
“That’s [a manifestation of] the way the Saints have been playing,” Tuley said. “For the books to balance their action, they have to place it at the number.”
It’s something to remember as we enter the 2018 season’s final month. It may not save your entire year but any advice helps if you’ve been following us annually.
Here is what Sobleski, Gagnon and Davenport are considering heading to the initial slate in more than two months.
