Is this league finally a bad bet

Teams can virtually move down the field on the promise of a hanky.
Hits that made Sportscenter what it is
, now move the chains.
Why run the ball?

a bit sad what the game has come down to

If you want to stay sane and make it through an entire season of wagering in this league, risk 5% or less on each wager. There are enough penalties that'll make you start to dislike this product on the field. It's getting worse every year.

When Fantasy Football runs the league, the league has to cater to that.

I agree that you can't bet an under 'comfortably,' but betting unders can still work and be profitable if you choose your spots and bet wisely. Basically, you can't just bet the over blindly and expect to crush it. The oddsmakers will adjust at some point, if they need to keep raising the totals from where they will be in the first few weeks.

Last year, based on my calculations, the O/U for the entire league was 270-238-4....which equates to a 52.7% win pct for the over. Despite the obvious points increase in the NFL due to the rules changes, and all of the publicity that gets, the oddsmakers have clearly done a good job with the lines as betting the over isn't a certain 'kill it' situation.

Any idea what the avg O/U was , number wise?

There might have been two games a week that were in the 30's and that was 39/39.5. So it seemed.
No more Pitt/Balty 32 pt totals.

I need to check that when I have time.

Not sure what the posted O/U avg was, but the NFL avg was 46.8.
