Your newest tool for NFL handicapping successYour newest tool for NFL handicapping successYour newest tool for NFL handicapping success

There are a lot of great books out there relating to the science and art of handicapping (which I believe includes offerings from gambling, sport, decision making, psychology, behavioral economics and statistics) and I have read a lot of them. If you are looking to be a better handicapper, I highly recommend you read at least some of the following. They are listed below in the order of year published (oldest to newest). If you have read a great book on handicapping writ large that is not listed below, please share at doc@profootballinsights.com. Thanks.
