December and a limited college football schedule means Saturday NFL is back.
And because the public loves these sorts of island games, there’s value to be gleaned by fading their sensibilities.
For Raiders vs. Steelers on Saturday Night Football, that’s especially true.
One side of the total has sharp and big moneyed bettors dropping heavy dollars. Meanwhile, the public loves the other side.
Tailing sharp money over the long run is almost assured to make you a profit. As is the case across sports handicapping, though, variance is a short-term constraint. To maximize winnings, allot the same unit size for every wager you place.
NFL Prediction for Raiders vs. Steelers
Sharp bettors are all over the under for this matchup.
While only 52% of the retail bettors are on this line, roughly 93% of the money is. That 41% discrepancy indicates plenty of whales are dropping money in the six figures on this game to go under.
The public also loves overs to the point where the market typically overvalues them. This is one of those instances.
Do keep in mind that the sharps got in on this line at its open of u41 (-110).
The best price on the market as of Saturday afternoon is with PointsBet at u38.5 (-107).
As aforementioned, exclusively tailing sharp and big moneyed bettors has positive expected value in the long run. In the short run, you’ll lose games along the way.
To maximize your return on investment, wager the same unit size every time sharp action is palpable enough. We’ll continue to write about it.
Pick: Under 38.5 (-107)
