When we assess the effect of injuries in the league and their effects on the NFL betting odds, our thinking tends to be binary: every team can either be a winner or loser. When you lose a key player in your squad, it either creates an opportunity for someone else to rise up and fill up the position for a sustained efficiency in the team, or your team’s overall output drops because none of the existing members in the team is able to replace the injured footballer.
