NFL Public Betting Percentages & Market Trends (Weekly Updates)
This page tracks weekly NFL public betting data – including spread, moneyline and total percentages – using real sportsbook reports.
Use it to see where the market is leaning, which sides the public loves, and where potential contrarian opportunities may appear.
How to Use NFL Public Betting Data
- Identify public sides: Teams with 70%+ of spread tickets are classic “public favorites”.
- Find contrarian spots: Heavily-bet overs and road favorites are often overpriced late in the week.
- Track line moves: When lines move against the majority of tickets, it often signals sharper money on the other side.

FAQ: Public Betting & NFL Market Trends
What are NFL public betting percentages?
Public betting percentages show how many tickets (or sometimes handle) are placed on each side, total or moneyline. For example, if 80% of spread tickets are on Dallas -3.5, they are a heavy public favorite.
How do I use public betting data in my NFL handicapping?
Public betting data shouldn’t replace your handicap, but it can help you spot overpriced teams, inflated totals and potential contrarian spots where the number has moved too far.
What is a contrarian NFL bet?
A contrarian bet typically fades the most popular side in the market. For example, if 80%+ of bets are on a home favorite and the line has already moved strongly in their direction, betting the underdog or Under can be a contrarian angle.
