    Is NFL the hardest sport to bet on? Yet the best to watch?

    Not sure if everyone feels this way. But i love betting and watching the NFL, but i feel like its ALOT harder to win in this sport oppose to any other.

    I'm not sure how, and i don't know how to explain it well. But damn..

    Now, maybe its just my bad luck or my tailing skills. But i can go 50/50 on college plays to say the least, but every sunday.. Is just horrid. I'm not basing this on 1-2 weeks. Its like this since a couple of years back... When i feel like a play is a trap, its not, when i dont think its a trap, it is.. When my team is winning big at the half, the other team finds a way to come back...
    Are the lines maker that good?! Convincing people and tricking people with their lines? Do sharps cap the game without looking at the line and then decide if a play has value after?

    Is this the hardest sport to win? Or is that question harder than "are we alone in the universe"??

    Not really for me college is hard to many teams to tail. after about 4 weeks nfl not too bad. its so obvious when games are gifted for you. where you get into trouble is always wanting some action.

    That maybe so, but if I had to choose 10 games off the board on Saturday and pick a team with spread, I think i can do 4/10 or 5/10 to say the least on a week to week basis. But if i had to do that in NFL, lol...... Are we just over thinking EVERY game and thinking to much on "where the public's money is at" and all that bullshit...?

    You can estimate an NFL teams performance against the best in the league. For example, Broncos would probably beat Colts by a touchdown and Jaguars by 28. So, the Colts would roughly be a three touchdown favorite to the Jaguars. If the spread is -15 then it's a coin flip but in our imaginary example Colts at home -13.5 vs. Jaguars is a strong play.
