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

Houston @ Kansas City (55.5)

Atlanta @ Arizona (52)

Carolina @ Tampa Bay (48.5) – London game

San Francisco @ Los Angelas Rams (48.5)

Cincinnati @ Baltimore (48)

Closest Spreads

New Orleans (pick ’em) @ Jacksonville

Atlanta (-1) @ Arizona

Carolina (-2) @ Tampa Bay (London Game)

Seattle (-2.5) @ Cleveland

Tennessee (+2.5) @ Denver

Biggest Favorites

New England (-17) vs. New York Giants (Thursday Night)

Baltimore (-11.5) vs. Cincinnati

Dallas (-8) @ New York Jets

Highest Implied Team Totals

Kansas City (30.5)

New England (30) – Thursday Night

Ravens (29.5)

Rams and Falcons (26.8)
