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 NFL season sees the 10-3 New Orleans Saints visit the 2-11 Minnesota Vikings in an NFC game between a Super Bowl contender and a team playing out the string. The game should be one with a good bit of scoring.
Last week the Giants defeated the division leading Cowboys in what was a do or die game for them. Not only did they win the game, but they did it in dramatic fashion with two touchdowns in the last three minutes of the game. That win propelled them into a tie with the Cowboys; both teams are now 7-6 on the season.
Week 15 Monday Night Football is a great match up that will cap off a good week of football. This game is between two playoff bound teams that appear to be equally matched.
The NFL regular season is winding down with only two weeks left to play. One of the highlight games of week 15 is the Baltimore Ravens traveling to San Diego to play the Chargers.
The Patriots versus the Broncos is a game that most people will be watching in week 15, or at least the last quarter. The Broncos led by quarterback Tim Tebow have made spectacular comebacks in six of the eight games. Many are now joking that there is a supernatural element to the team’s success. However, it is the Broncos defense that has kept the team within striking distance to allow for the opportunity for a comeback win.
Last week the Houston Texans defeated the Cincinnati Bengals and in doing so, won the American Football Conference South division title. They will now be competing for a higher seed in the playoffs including a bye in the first round. Their win last week was also their seventh in a row. The Texans are a strong team now and are gathering momentum heading into the playoffs. At 10-3, they are tied with the Steelers, Ravens, and Patriots for the best record in the AFC.
