Time and again you’ll hear people say that the NFL is a quarterback’s league. This is true to a large extent. They’re the faces of most franchises, the highest paid players on average and the most pivotal part of any team’s overall success. That doesn’t mean that they’re the most important element to consider when betting on spreads.

I was looking at the top quarterbacks in the league so far by the numbers purely out of curiosity. When I went through the list, all I could think was “these teams aren’t winning games”. That turned out to be very true. Only three of the top ten passers so far have winning records over a three week sample size.
