Fantasy Football Advice: Vegas Info

There’s no better place to start your research than with some analysis of the Vegas lines of each game. I usually want to first identify which games have the highest totals and which games have the closest spreads. Ideally, we want to target games that have both high totals and tight spreads, but it’s also tough to predict blowouts in any sport, so you can’t ignore teams with high totals and high spreads.

Highest Totals

Indianapolis @ Kansas City (54) – Sunday Night

L.A Rams @ Seattle (49) – Thursday Night

Atlanta @ Houston (49)

Arizona @ Cincinnati (48.5)

Cleveland @ San Francisco (48) Monday Night

Tampa Bay @ New Orleans (47.5)

Closest Spreads

Seattle (-1) vs. L.A. Rams – Thursday Night

Tennessee (-2.5) vs. Buffalo

San Francisco (-3) vs. Cleveland – Monday Night

Biggest Favorites
