What Bets To Make Today in the NFL

The National Football League is one of the most popular sports leagues in the world, and fans love to bet on the outcomes of the games. If you’re looking to make some money by betting on the NFL, here are some of the best bets you can make today.

Introduction

The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league consisting of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). The NFL is one of the four major North American sports leagues, the highest professional level of American football in the world, the wealthiest professional sport league by revenue, and the sport league with the most valuable teams.

Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions

The Green Bay Packers are 6-2-1 and coming off a huge win against the New England Patriots. The Detroit Lions are 3-6 and coming off a tough loss to the Chicago Bears. So, what bets should you make today in the NFL?

For starters, the Packers are favored to win by 6.5 points. If you think the Packers are going to win by more than that, you should bet on them.

Another bet you could make is on the over/under for the total points scored in the game. The current over/under is 51.5 points, so if you think there will be more than 51 points scored between the two teams, you should bet on the over.

You could also bet on whether or not Aaron Rodgers will throw for more than 300 yards. The current odds are +110 (meaning you would bet $110 to win $100), so if you think Rodgers will top 300 yards, that might be a good bet for you.

Finally, you could bet on how many rushing yards Eddie Lacy will have in the game. The current line is set at 67.5 yards, so if you think Lacy will run for more than that, you should take the over.

New York Jets at Cleveland Browns

The New York Jets are a professional American football team based in the New York metropolitan area. The Jets compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s American Football Conference (AFC) East division. The team is headquartered in Florham Park, New Jersey. In a unique arrangement for the league, the Jets share MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey with the New York Giants. The franchise is legally and corporately registered as New York Jets, LLC.

The team was founded in 1959 as the Titans of New York, an original member of the American Football League (AFL); later, the franchise joined the NFL in the AFL–NFL merger in 1970. The team began to play in 1960 at Shea Stadium. The Titans were displeased with their rental conditions at Shea and considered moving elsewhere. In 1962, they relocated to Yankee Stadium and became known as the New York Jets since “Titans” was already taken by baseball’s then-New York Mets. Since 1968, home games have been played at MetLife Stadium originally built for both teams; however, since 1984 it has been exclusively home to only one—the Jets. Both teams used to play home games at Giants Stadium from 1984 until 2010.

The Browns are a professional American football team based in Cleveland, Ohio. The Browns compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the American Football Conference (AFC) North division. The Browns play their home games at FirstEnergy Stadium, which opened in 1999 after renovated several times; previously they played at Cleveland Municipal Stadium from 1946–1995 and at Cleveland Stadium from 1931–1995.(Wikipedia, “New York Jets,” 11/12/2020; Wikipedia,”Cleveland Browns,” 11/12/2020)

Miami Dolphins at Buffalo Bills

The Miami Dolphins are currently 3-point favorites over the Buffalo Bills.

The Dolphins are coming off a tough loss to the New England Patriots, while the Bills managed to pull off an upset victory over the Minnesota Vikings.

Both teams will be looking to build on their recent successes, but it is the Dolphins who have the edge in this matchup.

Los Angeles Rams at Arizona Cardinals

The Los Angeles Rams are scheduled to take on the Arizona Cardinals at home in Week 13 of the NFL regular season. The Rams are coming off a tough loss to the Baltimore Ravens, while the Cardinals are coming off a win over the New York Giants. Both teams are 5-6 on the season and are fighting for their playoff lives. Here is a look at the betting odds for this matchup, as well as some betting tips.

The Rams are 3-point favorites against the Cardinals, with an over/under of 45 points. The Rams have been one of the most disappointing teams in the NFL this season, but they still have a chance to make the playoffs if they can turn things around. The Cardinals have also been disappointing, but they have shown some life lately with wins over the Seahawks and Giants.

When it comes to betting on this game, there are a few different things to consider. First, the Rams offense has been struggling lately, scoring just 13 points against the Ravens last week. However, they should be able to put up more points against an Arizona defense that has given up an average of 28 points per game this season. Second, both teams have struggled to stop the run this season, so this could be a good opportunity to bet on a running back like Todd Gurley or Kenyan Drake having a big game. Finally, with both teams fighting for their playoff lives, this could be a close and hard-fought game. As such, it might be worth taking a chance on the Cardinals +3 or betting on the under 45 points.

San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks (-4.5, -110) host the San Francisco 49ers in a huge NFC West showdown on Monday Night Football. This game has major implications for the division title and the playoffs, as both teams are currently 6-4 and tied for first place. The Seahawks have won five of their last six games, while the 49ers have won four of their last six.

The Seahawks are 4-1 at home this season, while the 49ers are 2-3 on the road. Seattle is favorited by 4.5 points, and they are -110 on the moneyline (meaning you would need to bet $110 to win $100). The over/under for this game is 45 points.
