The 2024 NFL season was massive for the sports betting industry, with an estimated $ 35 billion in the line and $ 1.4 billion only for the Super Bowl.
It was also a massive season for the favorites and the audience, which supported largely to the favored side throughout the year: the favorites were 195-77 directly in the regular season of 2024, their best record since 2005. The favorites had a specifically large race in December, which gave the trainers a rare victory for the penultive month of the season.
Some teams and players attracted more fervor and delivered for the traigators more frequently than others, so we take a look at what were the largest gears in the NFL 2024 betting machine.
Based on Betmgm data, Caesars, Draftkings, ESPN Bet and Fanduel.
In heavy rotation: the public teams could not have enough
Detroit lions
There was considerable exaggeration around the lions who entered the 2024 campaign: at +1000, Detroit was not the favorite to win the Super Bowl Lix, but it was still one of the most popular bets among the audience of bets in that future market.
That emotion continued in the regular season, where Dan Campbell’s team was easily the most important consensus team on a game base in the main sports bets, both for tickets and by handling. They were also involved in two of the most important games of the season (week 14 against the Green Bay Packers and week 18 against the Minnesota Vikings).
With the public supporting them apparently at each step, the lions deliver greatly: at 12-5 (.706), they had the second best record against the propagation in the NFL and maintained the highest average coverage margin in the League (7.71), which was reinforced by their dismantling of week 6 of the Dallas Cowboys as the favorites of 3.5 points. The coverage margin of 34.5 points of the Lions was the largest in any NFL game throughout the season.
The Detroit Games had a nice 9-8 pedestrian record at the end, but those contests also presented the average total of an average total in the league in 50.62 (the Baltimore Ravens were the following in 47.32, followed by the Cincinnati Bengals with 47.03).
Kansas City bosses
While the Chiefs did not comply with the first three -turbas rate of the Super Bowl, the domain of Kansas City of previous years maintained a very popular play among the traigators in the regular season of 2024, who entered as the favorites of the preseason championship (+500) and with a large part of the public bets.
Andy Reid team was a more important consensus team throughout the season, with ESPN Bet and Draftkings by placing them behind Detroit just to drive a game base. This was even when Kansas City had problems for a 7-10 record (.412) ATS behind an unusually unstable offensive that turned out that the Chiefs games uploaded 7-10 to the minors.
However, the Chiefs oversvers were some of the most important throughout the season according to ESPN Bet. The KC opening game against the Ravens also resisted the rigors of a regular season to be the most important game of the 2024 campaign.
Ravens de Baltimore
Speaking of Baltimore, the Ravens were also a more top-top consensus team more welcome during the regular season 2024.
The electrifying offensive, directed by Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, attracted the traigators throughout the campaign, and Baltimore rewarded them with a solid record of 10-7 ATS, with their only loss defeat against the number in that game of week 1 against Kansas City.
That offensive also led the Ravens to have more than 13-4 (.765) in their games, tied with the Carolina Panthers for the best record in the league despite the great average total they would attract.
Deep cuts: the teams that left a mark against propagation
These teams were not popular among the traigators in 2024, but were significant in betting markets … for better or worse.
Los Angeles Chargers
The best ATS record of the regular season 2024 of the NFL was for the Chargers, who accumulated 13 victories against the number, tied with 12 other teams for the largest amount of all time, although its cover percentage (.765) was not close to the record of all time of .929 established by the chargers of San Diego 2004. The third team in IR 13-4 ATS He moved to a 17 -games schedule in 2021.
Although the Chargers were not an excessively good team well, they classified them fifth in their list of the best money manufacturers for the trainers during the regular season.
Denver Broncos
The betting corridors reached the season with extremely low expectations for the Broncos: with +750, they had the second longer probabilities to reach the playoffs ahead of the New England patriots.
It was a surprise for the majority when Sean Payton’s team hit their ticket to the postseason, becoming the largest long long to reach the playoffs since the Bengals of 2011. What is even more unexpected is the way they did.
Denver was the only team in the NFL to be undefeated as a favorite during the 2024 campaign, publishing a perfect 8-0 record that becomes the best of the Super Bowl era. The Broncos achieved the best favorite average cover margin (14.25, with the second lions with 7.97) and won their playoff game game against the Chiefs 38-0 as favorites of 11.5 points, but that was not even their biggest favorite cover margin of the year, since they defeated the Falcons in the week 11, 38-6, as favorites of 1.5 points.
Tennessee Titans
From the highest of the maximums, to the lowest minimums.
The Tennessee Titans were not only the worst ATS team of the 2024 season, but with 2-15 (.118), they were the worst ATS team in a season of the effectiveness of the Super Bowl; The previous record was held by the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who were 2-10-2 (.167) ATS in its first season as an NFL expansion team.
The 2024 Titans did not cover any game such as the favorites (0-6) and had the second average coverage margin (-5.56) ahead of the Cleveland Browns (-6.18). At least Tennessee gets the number one selection in the draft.
The creators of successes that establish the environment for the season
Derrick Henry
“King Henry” was at the height of his nick also.
Draftkings lists Henry Third in the classification of his money player.
Lamar Jackson
Jackson, Henry’s teammate, was another immensely popular choice among the traigators this season, since he headed the lists of multiple sports albums for the most important player in non -TD accessories. The 28 -year -old was also a very popular selection in MVP futures markets, although he finally lost the prize to Bills QB Josh Allen.
Saquon Barkley
Barkley, one of the driving forces behind the Philadelphia Eagles, in a Super Bowl title, was a usual feature for the traigators in the propulsion markets of TD and NO TD players in many sports betting houses.
In ESPN Bet, he is the first corridor to appear among the scorers who are not more popular TD despite the fact that he faced more than 100 yards for the end of the season; He led all runners with an average yardas per land greater than 88.3, with Henry just behind him with 83.6.
The crowd went crazy: the traigators were obsessed with the Super Bowl Lix
Barkley’s dominance would continue to continue in the biggest game of the season in the minds of sports stationery: in ESPN Bet, about 20% of all the bets of the super Bowl players were in Barkley, more than the field marshal of the heads Patrick Mahomes and the closed wing Travis Kelce combined.
Unfortunately, Barkley had a relatively mediocre game in New Orleans, not reaching its patios brand by land and not even finding the final area, a great blessing for betting houses from an accessories perspective, even for those in Nevada, which finally scored a record of $ 22.1 million in the Super Bowl.
Meanwhile, the pensylvania traigators became bandits who bet on the eagles of their hometown, since the state betting houses lost $ 6.5 million in the Super Bowl Lix. ESPN BET said 73% of bets in the state were in Philadelphia, compared to less than 50% throughout the country.
The outstanding bets of the year
There was an atmosphere around the Eagles this season that made people want to bet a great money against them:
At the beginning of December, a Kentucky betting in Circa Sports made a bet of $ 3.1 million in the Eagles money line (-700) to overcome the Panthers, which is believed to be one of the biggest bets in the history of the regular NFL season. Philly won the game in a fallen pass from Carolina Xavier Legette’s receiver.
Only a few weeks earlier, an betr in the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas placed a bet of $ 1 million in the Los Angeles Rams to cover a three -point helpless against the Eagles; He lost the 37-20 game.
A BetmgM betler apusus $ 800,000 in the Eagles money line for Super Bowl Lix; Draftkings reported a bet of $ 500,000 to Philly in the great game.
Many traigators also created their own luck with Parlays that allowed them to convert some cash into a lot:
Draftkings had a gambler gampering $ 0.50 to +15,989,900 probabilities for a statistics parliament of the entire season. It was charged for $ 79,950.
ESPN BET took two massive talks on the last day of the regular that both charged:
An betr returned $ 5 to +214,164 probabilities to win $ 10,708.21
The biggest bet of the book in main lines only produced a work of +20,481.
