How to Bet on the NFL

The first step to learning how to bet on the NFL is understanding how NFL odds work. Here’s a breakdown of the top three markets: moneyline, spreads, and totals.

NFL Odds Explained

The first step to learning how to bet on the NFL is understanding how NFL odds work. Here’s a breakdown of the top three markets: moneyline, spreads, and totals.

Like hockey, there isn’t as much scoring in baseball as in sports like basketball and football. As a result, baseball is more of a moneyline sport. Bettors can still bet on the point spread, though it is known as the run line in baseball betting.

NFL Moneyline Odds

  • Example: Chargers (+200) vs. Chiefs (-245)

With NFL moneyline bets, your goal is to predict the winner of the game. The team with negative (-) odds is the favorite, while the team with positive (+) odds is the underdog. If the odds are negative, the number represents how much you need to bet to win $100 (Bet $245 to win $100 on the Chiefs). When the odds are positive, it shows how much you’ll win on a $100 bet (Bet $100 to win $200 on the Chargers).

NFL Point Spread Odds

  • Example: Chargers +5.5 (-105) vs. Chiefs -5.5 (-115)

Point spreads aim to make NFL games closer to a 50/50 proposition. If the spread is negative, the team needs to win by that many points (Chiefs need to win by 6+ points). If the spread is positive, the team will win if they win the game or lose by fewer points than the spread (Chargers can lose by up to five points and still win the bet).

NFL Game Total Odds

  • Example: Over 50.5 Points (-110) vs. Under 50.5 Points (-110)

Game totals are over/under wagers, and the odds are typically -110 on both sides. In this case, the over will win if both teams combine to score 51+ points, and the under wins if they score 50 or fewer points. The -110 odds mean you need to bet $110 to win $100 on either side.

Once you understand these NFL odds, you’ll have a foundation for understanding all NFL betting markets.

NFL Betting Tips and Strategies for Beginners

Here are some essential NFL tips and strategies for beginners:

NFL Key Numbers

In the NFL, key numbers (3, 4, 6, 7, 10, and 14) represent the most common winning margins. Since 2000, the most common margins are three points (15.03% of games) and seven points (9.17% of games).

NFL Betting Trends

Isolating trends allows bettors to build systems. Recent trends are more predictive. For instance, if a team is on a 10-1 run at home over the last two seasons, that’s valuable when placing bets.

NFL Statistics

Using advanced NFL stats (such as DVOA, EPA, CPOE, and aDOT) will help you think like professional bettors when formulating best bets.
