NFL odds especially Super Bowl odds, are the most popular of all forms football odds. NFL odds are the most popular on point-spread sides. This is also known as the betting spread, or the line. Gamblers have a choice of taking the favorite at minus points or the dog at plus points in football lines.
Also available on all NFL games and many college games are Over/under football odds, also known as totals. That is where you are wagering on whether or not the combined score between two teams will go over or under the football lines.
For gamblers that don’t like pointspreads but believe that they can pick winners straight up, then money line football betting lines are great options. Instead of laying or taking points with football betting odds, a gambler can either lay NFL betting odds on the favorite or take NFL football lines on the dog.
Gamblers can also choose to bet parlays. A parlay is a group of plays ranging from two to ten that are merged into a single wager in which all of the plays must win for the bet to win versus the football lines.
Teaser wagering is similar to parlays with the difference being you get points added to your wager. For example, a team that was a +4 point underdog on the regular and parlay line is a +10 dog on the 6-point teaser line. The trade off is that teasers payoff at lesser football odds than parlays.
Another popular option with NFL lines is “Futures” where you bet on a team to win the Super Bowl, division, season wins, etc. These are NFL betting lines that gamblers like to look at before the season begins but are also available throughout the year.
The game of the week in the NFL is the Monday night affair where the Atlanta Falcons travel to play the New Orleans Saints in an epic match up of division rivals.
Week 15 was the week of the monumental upsets in the NFL and that means Week 16 is all about payback. This is unfortunate for the Chicago Bears who travel to Green Bay to play an embarrassed Green Bay Packers.
If you are an NFL fan, this should be a good matchup to watch. In week 15 the Rams fell to the Bengals 20-13. On Monday the Steelers played like they were in the dark at Candlestick Park. They fell to San Francisco 20-3 only managing a field goal in the third quarter.
Week 16 of the NFL season sees the Miami Dolphins travel to New England to play the Patriots. A few weeks ago, this would have looked like a snoozer of a game, but a resurgent Dolphins team is going to give the Patriots all they want and more in this game.
The NFL season the Chicago Bears are 7-6 and on paper, have a chance to make the playoffs. The two teams that are currently the wild-card choices for the playoffs are the Falcons at 9-5 and the Detroit Lions at 8-5. They are only one game away from a wild-card. But they will have to win their last three games of the season and hope the Falcons or the Lions lose. Other teams that are 7-6 are the Cowboys and Giants.
This is probably not the most exciting match up of week 15 unless you are a Titans fan. The Tennessee Titans are 7-6 and are still in the playoff hunt. In the AFC they are tied with the Oakland Raiders and the Cincinnati Bengals. All three teams are a game behind the New York Jets for the second wild card spot. The Titans need to win their last three games of the season and hope the Bengals, Raiders, and Jets fall short.
