What effect has the new NFL kickoff rule had on betting?

WHat are your thoughts? Seems to me it has made favorites win straight up at a higher %, as kickoffs returns added a huge element of volatility. While its still no , teams constantly starting from their own 20 all the time diminishes the "puncher's chance" aspect. Could be wrong.

I think it sucks

Just off hand ... from watching steelers all year... and in the playoffs literally every drive started at the 20 or worse... when you have a big time return man is brown.. its a huge blow especially if your kicker isn't as good.... scoring seems up though... just a lot of long drives

None Zero No effect at all

Absolutely none at all... I just pick damn games... Nothing factors in my bets... One team is going to win/cover and one isn't... Pretty easy to pull the trigger...

i made some easy money betting live on teams starting below there 20.5....too much sweat when the return man brings it out when the ball was kicked 8 yards deep in the end zone. Plus the chalk started to get pretty darn high.
