When is the Optimal Time to Bet an NFL Future?
Anderson makes the argument against betting favorites this far in advance. Do you really want to give a sportsbook a nine month long, interest-free loan for a 50% return that isn't close to being guaranteed?
Hunter concurs on betting longshots this early in the NFL process. He includes a thesis on a team that's 100-1 — with an eye toward hedging the pick later on in the season.
