Understanding NFL Betting Odds and NFL Lines
There are many ways to bet on the NFL today, but the most common bet is with the point spread, where you can lay points with the favorite or take points on the underdog.
Moneyline is also popular because gamblers must only pick the straight-up winner by laying odds with the favorite or taking odds with the underdog. Totals (a.k.a. over/unders) are betting on whether a game's combined score will go over or under a number set by the oddsmakers.
Futures betting is for laying odds on who will win the NFL championship, total team wins, and more. Player props betting is for player achievements during a game, such as over or under how many touchdowns a player will compile. The NFL championship odds are similar to futures; gamblers take odds on which teams will win the title. NFL parlays combine multiple bets into one for a higher payout rate.
NFL Moneyline Example:
A great NFL betting example of the moneyline is the Kansas City Chiefs vs. the Houston Texans. If Kansas City is a 10-point spread favorite, many gamblers will not want to lay that substantial number despite believing that the Chiefs will win.
The moneyline provides an alternative option. Instead of laying the points, a gambler could lay -700 on the moneyline to win $100. Yes, that is a lot of money to bet on a $100 return, but many gamblers are more comfortable doing so because they don’t want to worry over the NFL bets' point spread.
On the other hand, if a gambler wants to take a shot with the Texans, he can bet $100 on Houston to win a $480 profit.
NFL Spread Example:
In our Kansas City vs. Houston NFL spreads example, if Kansas City is a 10-point home favorite, it must win by 11 or more points to cover and beat the NFL odds. By contrast, if Houston is a 10-point road dog, the Texans will cover the bet if they win the game straight up or lose the game by 9 points or less (A 10-point margin is a tie/push on both teams).
So, if Kansas City wins the game 23-14, the Texans cover the bet because of their 9-point defeat, which was within the 10-point spread. On the other hand, if Kansas City wins the game 26-14, the Chiefs would cover the 10-point spread because of their 12-point margin of victory.
Most Popular NFL Betting Types
NFL Moneylines: Gamblers are attracted to the moneyline because it offers the simplicity of only picking the winner of an NFL game without sweating out a point spread; however, a loss on a large moneyline favorite can break a bankroll.
NFL Spreads: Point spreads are based on the ability of the teams and the public's perception of those teams. Media hype and team popularity play an influential role in the NFL betting lines.
NFL Totals (Over/Under): An example of an over/under line is if the Chiefs vs. Texans game has a total of 41.5. Thus, gamblers will bet on whether the total combined will go over or under 41.5.
NFL Player Props: An example of a player prop is Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes throwing three touchdown passes in a game. If Mahomes throws four TD passes, his player prop bet goes over the total.
NFL Parlays: When a gambler makes two or more wagers and ties them to the same bet. If all the wagers win, the NFL parlay wins, but if just one wager loses, even if the other wagers win, the NFL parlay is a loser.
NFL Futures: An example of the NFL futures is the Philadelphia Eagles at +190 for a $100 bet. If the Eagles win the Super Bowl, gamblers get $290 (stakes and winnings).
NFL Live Betting: Also known as in-game betting, live betting involves NFL odds wagers made throughout the game. It's fast-paced, with continuously changing odds and prices.
NFL Super Bowl Odds: Super Bowl odds can be bet on futures, such as which team will win the championship. Also, Super Bowl bets can be placed once the matchup is determined.
