Check List to Help You Get Ready for the 2023 NFL Season

Next Thursday, the NFL has their first game of the season. No doubt, football handicappers will play NFL games every week during the season. It makes sense to use this week to set things up to ensure success playing NFL games.

There are many NFL betting odds & lines to choose from this season. So be sure to check out this list before placing your bets.

Football Bettors Should Follow This Checklist to Get Ready for the NFL Season | MyBookie 2023 Season Preview

NFL Regular Season: September 7, 2023 – January 7, 2024

How Healthy is Your Bankroll?

Bankroll health is the most important aspect heading into the NFL Regular Season. You don’t have to have a massive bankroll. But you must have funds to make bets. If you don’t have enough funds, or are worried you might run out, consider accepting bonuses.

All bonuses involve rollovers. However, if you have no plans of withdrawing from your sports betting account, satisfying rollover requirements won’t be a big deal.

In any case, because you will want to bet on multiple NFL games each week, you must make sure you have a healthy bankroll before the first game between the Chiefs and Lions. 

Have You Decided on Your Bet Unit for ATS, SU, and O/U NFL Wagers?

You could use the same bet unit for against the spread, straight up, or over under plays. However, you should think about switching up your bet unit depending on the wagers with which you are most comfortable.

Some NFL bettors are experts at backing underdogs straight up. SU underdogs pay more than wins against the spread. Therefore, if you’re a money line NFL underdog player, you don’t have to invest as much in game as an ATS bettor.

Most of us are against the spread handicappers. We should set an ATS unit and stick to it. Later in this blog, we discuss a specific strategy that could affect your ATS unit. But if you are a one game or two games each week NFL player, set your unit and don’t waver from it.

Will You Be Playing Parlays?

If so, what is your NFL parlay strategy?

Parlays are difficult to hit. The win probability on a 2-team parlay is around 27%. The win probability for a 3-team parlay is about 14%.

Those percentages rise or fall depending on the games you choose. So although the numbers are bad, you must assume that if you plan on playing parlays, you have a strategy.

What’s a parlay strategy? The first part of the strategy is to set your parlay bet unit. The second part of the strategy is to decide what NFL teams to target for your parlay.

Handicapping up to 16 NFL games per week is a tall task. So consider one of the strategies we list in the next section and then apply it to your parlay strategy.

What is Your Overall Strategy?

Have you decided to key on a single team, NFL division, or will you handicap all games every week?

To be successful this NFL Season, you must have an overall strategy. The best strategies limit the amount of work it takes for you to handicap and make bets.

The more factors involved in your handicapping, studying all 16 NFL Week 1 games as an example, the more difficult it could be for you to find winning wagers. Check out a popular NFL betting strategy that could lead to profit.

Become an Expert for a Specific NFL Team

This has become one of the NFL bettor’s most popular strategies. Like you, oddsmakers must work hard to set fair betting lines. Overlay lines exist in plenty of NFL games, but finding those overlay lines could take up too much time.

By becoming an expert for a specific team, you will notice right away whether a team is an overlay or underlay. Variants of this strategy involve becoming an expert for a specific NFL division, conference, AFC or NFC, or for a set of teams, choosing the top squads from last season

Concentrating on top squads from last season could lead to overlays because, no doubt, players will dump 2022’s most successful teams. The Kansas City Chiefs went 5-11-1 ATS in 2022 and won the Super Bowl. So playing against a popular set of teams ATS can be a profitable strategy.
