NFL Tips

The NFL tips are here, and they run all season. Every game gets a call from me, the bets go on the ones I back, and the reasoning sits under every call.

The bets are head-to-head, the line and totals, plus a multi when a few of them belong on the one ticket. The tips for each game are on that game’s page, and a new set of NFL betting tips drops here weekly, through the regular season and into the playoffs.

Latest NFL tips & predictions

Atlanta Falcons vs Pittsburgh Steelers NFL matchup prediction graphic

Steelers vs Falcons Prediction

The Steelers win this, but 3.5 is more than I think the game is worth, so the Falcons and the points is the honest side. Neither the line nor the total sits far enough from my numbers to put money…

Carolina Panthers vs Chicago Bears NFL matchup prediction graphic

Panthers vs Bears Prediction

The Bears should win this, but not by the margin the bookies want you to pay for, and the Panthers getting points is the fairer side of that trade. The genuine value in this game sits in the total, not…

Detroit Lions vs New Orleans Saints NFL matchup prediction graphic

Lions vs Saints Prediction

The Lions should win this one, but seven points is a lot to hand a side that won six games all season and only has to keep it respectable. The Saints and the points is the right side without being…

Cleveland Browns vs Jacksonville Jaguars NFL matchup prediction graphic

Jaguars vs Browns Prediction

The Jaguars won thirteen games last season and the Browns won five, and the bookies have priced that difference honestly. I have the Jaguars clearing the 7.5, just not by the sort of margin that turns an opinion into a…

Baltimore Ravens vs Indianapolis Colts NFL matchup prediction graphic

Colts vs Ravens Prediction

The bookies have made the Ravens favourites by 3.5 against a Colts side that finished level with them last season. I have the Colts winning it outright at home, and that disagreement is the most interesting number in the game.

Frequently asked questions

What is the line in NFL betting? +

The points handicap. If a team is on the minus 3.5 line they have to win by four or more to cover; the other side covers if they win, or lose by three or less.

What are totals in NFL betting? +

The combined score of both teams. The bookie posts a number and you bet over or under it. Who wins doesn’t matter, only how many points go on the board.

What is an NFL multi? +

Two or more bets on the one ticket. Every leg has to win for it to pay, and the price multiplies with each leg you add. Fewer legs, better chance it lands.

How do you bet on NFL tips online? +

Open an account with an Australian licensed bookmaker, deposit, find the game and take the market the tip names. Stake an amount you can afford to lose.

Do you tip the NFL game at the MCG? +

Yes. Rams v 49ers at the MCG, the first regular season NFL game played in Australia, gets a call like every other game. It sits in the Week 1 tips.

Do you tip the NFL playoffs and the Super Bowl? +

Yes. The playoffs get their own tips once the playoff picture is set, right through to the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl call comes when the two teams are known, not months out.
