NFL Betting Trends: Pacific Teams on the East Coast

Walt9 mins
The “Early Game Alert” is a trend that has puzzled bettors for years. What to do about Pacific teams that are playing an early game on the East Coast?

What’s the big deal? Since players and coaches have to wake up three to four hours before kickoff, the teams that are studied in this trend have to wake up around 6 a.m. PST. And I think it’s safe to say that most NFL players don’t go to sleep before midnight. Just a hunch.

Here is how different coaches have handled this trend. As you can imagine, some coaches prepare their teams well for an early kickoff. Others… well, see for yourself.
