NFL Hall of Fame Game Betting Trends

Last year’s upset win by the Browns over the Jets extended a strong run by underdogs. Since 2013, they are on a 5-4 SU and 6-2-1 ATS surge. Prior to that, favorites had been on a 6-1-2 ATS run.

The last two Hall-of-Fame games pitted AFC teams against one another. Prior to that, in three AFC-NFC matchups, AFC teams went 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS. The last NFC team to beat an AFC team in this game was Minnesota, who edged Pittsburgh 14-3 in 2015.

The team that has led the HOF game at halftime has gone just 2-3-1 over the last six contests. Depth is as important as any other factor, particularly at the quarterback position.

This is a game that is usually assumed to be an Under wager, despite the extremely low total. That said, Overs have been the winning totals wager in back-to-back years, following up a nine-game stretch in which Under was 7-2.

In the seven HOF games since 2015, the line has moved off the opening number, and it has gone towards the favorite six times. That team is just 2-3-1 ATS in that span. Furthermore, the HOF game seems to be becoming a game in which the books take from the bettors, as those following line moves would be just 3-6-1 ATS in the last 10 opportunities. Most locales had Chicago as a 1.5-point favorite out of the gate, and the line has since moved to 2. Thus, it would appear the betting public is backing the Bears here.

Bettors have not been sharp lately when moving totals in HOF games either, going 2-6 in the last eight times the total moved prior to kickoff. The 2024 total has moved towards the Over (31.5 to 32.5), perhaps indicating that savvy bettors should opt for an Under.

The first half has averaged 16.0 points in the last seven Hall of Fame games

Backups to Start

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said “We’ll see” when asked Monday if C.J. Stroud would suit up. Assuming the reigning NFL Rookie of the Year doesn’t play, the starting nod will presumably go to backup David Mills. Veterans Case Keenum and Tim Boyle should get most of the work under center.

The same seems true for the Bears and No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams, who replaces Justin Fields as the quarterback of the future for the Windy City franchise. Head coach Matt Eberflus plans to instead give starting reps to Tyson Bagent, with Brett Rypien and undrafted rookie Austin Reed backing him up

CFL

BC/Winnipeg

Early money has come in on the Lions, shifting the spread from -3.5 to -4.5.

The Leos are coming off a bye after losing a nail-biter to the Stamps in Week 7 but they are still 5-1 SU and 4-2 ATS in their last six games.

The Bombers are just 1-7 ATS but oddsmakers are adjusting. They lost outright as a fave six times this season but almost covered as a 1.5-point dog last week.

Collaros has posted a passer rating above 110 in each of the last three years but he has the lowest rating (81.8) in the league among qualifying QBs this season.

The Bombers are 1-8 ATS in their last nine games overall while the Lions are 9-2 ATS in their previous 11 contests following a loss
