For the recreational parlay player, football season is business-as-usual. They bet the favorites with the over and hope for the best. But for the serious bettor that wants to supplement their income in the fall, following the NFL is nearly a full-time job.
Just within the last week, the league lost four Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks in Eli Manning (benched), Nick Foles (shoulder), Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) and Drew Brees (hand). Cam Newton appears to be doubtful this week for Carolina. The Jets have been reduced to their third-string quarterback and three top-tier defensive backs in Jamal Adams, Minkah Fitzpatrick and Jalen Ramsey have all hit the trade market.
