Sport betting experts have their own systems that they use to try and determine which team would be the best pick in any given game. When the average person looks at the stats of a football team, there are some obvious stats that stand out when it comes to separating teams and determining which team is better. But there are a few stats that every price per head bookie expert looks at before betting any NFL football game.

Turnovers

An NFL team that can consistently cause turnovers on defense can matchup against any other team in the league. A great example of the power of turnovers is the week three loss that the Patriots suffered at the hands of the Buffalo Bills this season. New England quarterback Tom Brady threw four touchdowns and the Pats scored 31 points. But Brady also threw four interceptions and the Pats lost the game. When the Bills were winning, it was getting turnovers. Turnovers are the great equalizer for any team.

Run Defense

NFL scores are often determined by how well a defense can keep the opposition out of the endzone. There are a lot of defensive stats to look at before betting a game, but the run defense is the most telling stat of them all. If a defense cannot stop the run, then it cannot stop the other team’s offense.

Yards Per Attempt

A running back is often judged by how many yards per attempt he gets with each carry. But a quarterback with a high yards per attempt on each throw can dictate the outcome of a game. You will find that the quarterbacks with the most yards per passing attempt are the quarterbacks that score the most points and win the most games.
