NFL BETTING 101

NFL betting is the activity of predicting sports results and placing wagers on the outcomes. It involves placing bets on various sports events, such as the NFL.

WHERE TO PLACE NFL BETS

You can place NFL bets at licensed sportsbooks, physical locations like casinos, or online through sports betting platforms.

NFL ODDS

NFL odds are numerical expressions bookmakers provide that reflect the perceived probability of specific outcomes in NFL games. These odds can be used to calculate potential payouts on various types of betting, such as point spreads, moneylines, totals, and futures. They can change frequently based on factors like player injuries, team form, and betting trends.

NFL SPREAD BETS

The spread, also known as the point spread, is a type of NFL bet where the bookmaker assigns a favored team a certain number of points they must win (or an underdog team can lose by) for a bet on them to payout. The favored team is indicated by a minus (-), and the underdog by a plus (+). The best spread NFL best bets for today can be found by comparing the lines across different sportsbooks.

NFL MONEYLINE BETS

The moneyline in NFL betting simply refers to picking which team will win the game outright, regardless of the points scored. The team expected to win is represented with a minus (-) symbol, while the underdog is represented with a plus (+). Moneyline bets are some of the most straightforward top NFL bets you can place.

NFL TOTALS BETS

Totals, also known as Over/Under bets, are NFL bets where you wager on whether the combined score of both teams in a game will be over or under a number set by the bookmaker. They are a popular option for bettors who may not have a strong opinion on the game's winner but have an idea about the game's overall pace or scoring ability of the teams.

NFL FUTURES BETTING

NFL PROP

NFL props, short for NFL proposition bets, are wagers placed on events within a game that do not directly affect the outcome. For example, you might bet on how many receiving yards a specific player will record or how many touchdowns a player will get.

NFL SAME GAME PARLAY

NFL same-game parlays are a type of prop bet where multiple selections are made within the same game. For example, you might bet on Team A to win, Player X to score a touchdown, and the total points to be over 45, all in the same game. This type of bet can offer high payouts but requires every selection to win. NFL betting sites offer same-game parlays.

NFL TEAM PROPS

NFL team props are bets that focus on outcomes related to a specific team rather than individual players. For example, you might bet on Team A to score the first touchdown or win the most quarters in a game. The best team prop picks often require an understanding of team dynamics and strategies.

NFL TEASERS

NFL teaser bets are a way to adjust point spreads in a bettor's favor. For example, if you like the Kansas City Chiefs -4, and the Baltimore Ravens +6, but are concerned that the Chiefs will only win by a field goal and that the Ravens may lose by a touchdown. If you parlay these games together in a 7-point teaser, you now have Kansas City +3 and Baltimore +13. Unlike two-team parlays that pay +260 at most books, two-team teasers typically pay -130.
