Jaguars-Titans TNF Game Bad for Fans, Great for Bettors
While yet another primetime NFL game is set to be played between two subpar teams hardly worthy of the spotlight this season, the Jaguars-Titans Thursday Night Football game could prove to be pure gold for sports gamblers.
That’s because one of the hottest betting trends going right now is Tennessee playing at home and their horrendous record Against The Spread. There are other trends that would tend to favor Jacksonville.
Titans Playing at Home a Get-Rich Scheme for Savvy Gamblers
If you happened to have had the hindsight and bet $1000 against the Titans playing at home for all such games these past three seasons, you would be up an astonishing $15000 right now.
It Gets Even Better When We Consider the Jaguars-Titans TNF Game
Versus division rivals, the Titans are a mere 1-12 Against The Spread. They will face a division rival in the Jacksonville Jaguars as a -3.5 home favorite. While the Titans have beaten Jacksonville their last two meetings in Nashville, they have failed to do so by the current spread.
Primetime NFL Ratings Have Fallen Off a Cliff
Monday Night Football in particular has seen a drastic slide in its ratings, mostly a result of disappointing matchups that have garnered little interest among fans and gamblers alike (though the later group might be more prone to watch).
There has been a 24 percent decline for Monday Night Football since last year. The Thursday package is down 18 percent, while the Sunday prime-time package is off 19 percent.
“Everyone has theories,” Goodell said prior to this past Sunday Night Football game between the Seahawks and Cardinals that ended in a 6-6 tie.
We’ll know soon enough if more attractive matchups can draw more of an audience as the Cowboys are set to take on the Eagles this Sunday night.
