About Us
The Website
Since 2007 SpreadTrends has provided the pro football bettor with the information they need to get smart about the games they wager on. Our NFL betting trends let you see how teams perform in different situations. By analyzing these trends you are giving yourself a betting advantage. While there are some betting trends that are simply fun facts there are many more that can be used as an excellent handicapping tool for making your NFL bets.
Every season we provide top notch gambling advice by crunching NFL game data to deliver a breakdown for each NFL team Against the Spread in what we call a TREND-REPORT™. With our free reports you can see the tendency of a team toward covering, or failing to cover, in key situations. Our reports are kept up to date with live data so you will always know where a team stands where it matters most- Against the Spread (ATS).
The line on a game is the number that the sportsbook manager thinks has the highest expected win for their business, consistent with the risk the sportsbook is willing to accept. What that means is setting the spreads in such a way as to earn a higher percentage on the best of those people who are going to bet on their team no matter what the odds. Our site delivers the same statistics and trends that sportsbook managers have so that you can become a sharp bettor and find an edge based on objective analysis.
Our three-year and single season breakdown reports will get you ready for every NFL football game this season. We offer the best handicapping information so you can figure out who to pick by searching our trends, reviewing weather reports, and studying line moves. It's becoming common for bettors to rely on computers to do the analysis and make picks so we offer predictions based on our own math model, called TREND-SEARCH™. Our proprietary algorithm performs unbiased, statistics based, analysis of past trends to predict future NFL game winners.
Our goal is to educate as well as entertain. Whether you bet with a sportsbook, participate in a weekly pool with your friends and colleagues, or you are simply doing research, you can use our situational NFL trends and computer selections to make informed NFL picks and increase your winnings. We wish you the best of luck in the 2023 season.

- We always capture the closing line in our final data because it provides the most objective data point for trend analysis. For upcoming NFL games we prefer to show lines and over/under totals from a sampling of sportsbooks. We use the point spread API from JsonOdds which aggregates and consolidates data to create a white label odds source.
- We get our forecast and historical weather information from the OpenWeatherMap API. We make our own notes on games we observed to have extreme or interesting weather conditions. In addition we note the type of surface the game was played on and the status (open or closed) of stadiums that feature a retractable roof.
- We would like to credit ColdHardFootballFacts.com for illustrating several quality stats. We use Pass Rating Differential, Scoreability, and Bendability on our Rankings page. We also calculate a Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) to rank teams based upon a their wins and losses and their strength of schedule. We calculate RPI for win/loss and strength of schedule Against the Spread as well as straight up.
