As the NFL season progresses, oddsmakers begin to tighten point spreads. This makes it more difficult for bettors to build bankrolls.
Just look at the Week 5 betting board.
Six of the this week’s 16 games feature lines at SI Sportsbook of seven points or more, including the largest spread of the season at 15.5 points (Steelers-Bills).
When faced with difficult decisions on NFL games, where point spreads can wreak havoc, bettors can often find more value investing in Player Proposition wagers.
For example, betting on markets such as “Anytime Touchdown Scorer”, is a simple and thrilling way to make small investments at plus-odd payouts without having to tackle conventional game spread or point total betting.
