If you look hard enough you'll find a number of betting systems that are guaranteed to win you thousands of dollars betting on football and other sports. Only problem is, if you ever talk to anyone that has purchased one of these systems you were most likely told they didn't make much, if anything.

There really are no foolproof betting systems, but thanks to the Bodog Sportsbook I have a few common sense betting tips that you can use to bet on this weekends NFL games. Since I bet regularly at Bodog I received these tips in my mailbox and will now share them with you.

Toss out those pre-season records. Indianapolis Colts backup QB Jim Sorgi gets extensive playing time in preseason, that's how little it matters.
Be mindful of the teams that love to run the ball and control the clock. Run-heavy squads like the Titans, Baltimore Ravens and New York Giants were 36-12 ATS combined last year.
Don't believe the hype on Totals in Week 1, oddsmakers are better than you think at balancing them early. Totals were 14-18 O/U in week one last year; hardly a sure thing for either side.
Check the injury/transaction report before placing a bet -- for all you know Favre could've retired again.

I think these are pretty smart tips. Down below you'll also find some betting stats from last years NFL that can be pretty useful. Good luck on this weekends games.

Peyton Manning needs audibles, bettors need ATS records. Without these stats you'd probably be betting the farm on the Colts every week, even though they only went 8-7-1 ATS last year. To have a profitable football season, you need to watch these records closely
