NFL TEAM NEWS

Besides being on the sideline for the NFL team practices or in the team's dressing room, there is no better source for up to the minute reports on key injuries, team morale, player movements and more. Visiting each football team's local news resources on a daily basis throughout the NFL season will give you a big edge on the bookmaker.

Here's a solid handicapping tip for you. One of the most important injuries from a betting standpoint is to a starting offensive lineman. The lines maker factors in any injury to star players to the betting line such as the QB or running back, but rarely will factor in any points for say a starting tackle being out. Timing is of the utmost importance for an offense to run on all cylinders and the loss of a starter to the line will normally have a huge impact on the cohesiveness resulting in missed blocks and false starts.

By checking the local NFL team news sites you'll have a much better handle on who is unlikely to play then what the weekly NFL Injury report in your local rag reports.
