📺 Jets vs. Dolphins live betting strategy: MNF

Date: Monday, Sept. 29
Kickoff: 7:15 p.m. ET
Location: Hard Rock Stadium (Miami Gardens, Fla.)
How to watch: ESPN

While I expect a defensive battle, I'm targeting the third-quarter total. The Miami Dolphins and New York Jets combine for 4.3 points per third quarter through three weeks, with the former scoring the fifth fewest (two) and the latter the seventh fewest (2.3)

Monitor the third-quarter total, which currently stands at 12.5 points through FanDuel (-106 to the Under). If you see early signs of this trend continuing, back the Under decisively.

📺 Bengals vs. Broncos live betting strategy: MNF

Date: Monday, Sept. 29
Kickoff: 8:15 p.m. ET
Location: Empower Field at Mile High (Denver)
How to watch: ESPN

The Denver Broncos have tallied just one pick in three games. However, they were tied for the eighth most last season (15) and get a favorable matchup against Jake Browning now.

The Cincinnati Bengals' de facto starter has thrown five picks, the most in the NFL, in less than two games.

He's good for at least one, probably two, against a ball-hawking Broncos' secondary in Denver. If the game enters the second half and Browning has avoided tossing a pick, grab yourself some extra value, as an INT is likely on the way.

💡 NFL live betting strategy

Live betting is all about getting a feel for the game as you watch. Trust your gut and the on-field play, and make the call before the value seeps away. Alternative totals are an excellent way to optimize profits. If you see something develop, trust yourself and commit.

Don't overcommit, though. Sometimes, patience is the name of the game.

Check back each week for our live betting strategy, which will be jam-packed with real-life live betting examples from previous weeks, helping to inform subsequent live betting opportunities.
