Billions, not millions, of dollars are wagered on NFL picks each and every season. This upcoming season will be no different, as far as money wagered. However, this season will be like none other, as far as preparation. Players will have little time to prepare for the season. As of this writing, it’s still undetermined when the season will start. So how will the delay affect pointspreads, and more importantly, how will it affect outcomes?
At LockoftheDay.com, our prime objective is analyzing football spreads & making accurate NFL football picks. Make no mistake, we’re good at it. Never had a losing season since we went live online in 2002. (Nine straight winning seasons). With that said, this will be our most difficult season to forecast, at least for the first couple of weeks.
The lack of preparation will affect NFL offenses, more so than NFL defenses. NFL defense’s react to the ball, so it’s easier for the defense to play without extensive practice or preparation. Not so for the offense. Each NFL team has to develop a complex offensive gameplan to overcome the elite players on the other side of the football. The speed of the game is not easy to conquer. Only the best offensive schemes can score consistently in the NFL. Because of the Lockout, it will take weeks for NFL offenses to surpass NFL defenses.
Another key issue resulting from the NFL Lockout is free agency, better yet, the lack of free agency. 2010 was one of the worst years for NFL quarterbacks in the past 20 years. That means many teams are desperately searching for quarterback help. Wherever Kevin Kolb, Donovan McNabb, Mark Bulger, and the others end up, they won’t have their new team’s gameplan mastered by Week 1. Another advantage for the defense.
Here at Lock Of The Day, we thoroughly analyze the NFL Draft during the offseason. This might go un-noticed, but this year’s draft was all defense! Twelve defensive linemen were drafted in the 1st round alone! This was a down year for offensive linemen. This was a terrible year for rookie quarterbacks. Translation: NFL defenses will be much improved.
LockoftheDay.com bottom line: Don’t be surprised is Las Vegas oddsmakers over-value the Totals to start off the season. When betting Over/Unders, take a good hard look at the Under.
