A Top-Down Approach to Beating the Thanksgiving Market

Many NFL bettors start by looking at individual markets (such as spreads, totals, teasers or props) and ask, “Which spread looks best?” or “What were the results this week?” This is a bottom-up approach where you focus on specific bets first.

In this area we will take a different approach. Each week we focus on one game and use a top-down strategy to break it down into detail. This means starting with the bigger picture – how teams, players or trends are performing – and then finding the best ways to apply that information to different betting markets.

While some of our bets may focus on traditional markets such as spreads or totals, we often explore other opportunities to maximize profits.
