How To Use The CFB Gambling Tool

There are plenty of ways to maximize this tool when it comes to researching and preparing for DFS slates and your sports betting picks. One of my favorite features that I will certainly be relying on early in the season is the returning production statistics in the Overall Team Metrics section. These data points will give us a strong sense of where teams are at in terms of the players they are returning and might even be able to point us to teams with some advantages early on in the year.

Using things such as Power Rating and Strength of Schedule at the top of the tool will be important every single week. You can use these metrics to get an idea of how good a team is based on statistical analysis. Here, you can also see how a team has performed against the spread, because as they say, “good teams win, but great teams cover.”

The offensive and defensive metrics are also very important and extremely valuable to have displayed all in one place. You can see a team’s Success Rate, Explosiveness, Rush Rate, and Pass Rate on both sides of the ball. These are general success and failure indicators that can give you a baseline idea of expectations for a team.

As you scroll down, you then get into the individual player metrics. These sections are broken into statistical category sections (e.g. Passing, Rushing, Receiving, etc.). Many key advanced stats can also be found here, such as Average Depth of Target, Accuracy Percentage, Explosive Runs, Yards After Catch per Reception, Drop Percentage, Routes Run, and many more. One statistical metric I will certainly rely on within this tool is Routes Run. This is typically a fairly difficult stat to track down, but with this tool, you have that number at your fingertips for each player on every team.

This tool also provides access to other important data that is not easy to find elsewhere, including defensive metrics and offensive line statistics. Using these stats, you can gain an edge on your opponents in DFS and give yourself a strong baseline knowledge of these teams’ defensive players and offensive line units for sports betting purposes.

When it comes time for playoff and bowl season, you can also use the Hypothetical Matchups section of this tool to get a feel for which teams should be favored in whichever matchup you choose, whether it be at a team’s home stadium or at a neutral site. You can get access to this information here before anywhere else, as you get to determine the matchup.
