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.
Week 15 of the NFL season sees the Green Bay Packers come to Arrowhead Stadium to face the Kansas City Chiefs in an NFC versus AFC clash. Well, “clash” might be a bit much when describing this game. This game is more of a beauty and the beast encounter.
Week 15 of the NFL will see the Detroit Lions visiting Oakland to play the Raiders. This is shaping up to be a crossroads game as both teams are competing for a playoff berth. The Lions are 8-5 and looking for a wild card spot as the undefeated Packers have already won the division. The Raiders at 7-6 are only a game behind the Broncos in their division and cannot afford to lose any more games this season.
The Eagles saw the return of their star quarterback Michael Vick last week when defeating the Dolphins in Miami. This win made the team 5-8 for the season and kept a mathematical playoff chance alive. Although Eagle fans were certainly excited by the win as well as seeing Vick on the playing field, the Eagles were not as impressive as the 26-10 victory may seem. A poor Dolphin offense coughed up the ball several times giving the Eagles easy chances to score.
This is a game that is only of interest to those who are a fan of one or the other team, unless of course you have a few dollars on the game. The Buffalo Bills are 5-8 going into this game and that is one game better than the Miami Dolphins who are 4-9. Both teams have had disappointing seasons and are now looking to next year.
The Cleveland Browns will be visiting the Arizona Cardinals in week 15 in a game that has only a small impact on the playoffs. The Browns are looking to next year’s NFL season as well as the Cardinals. Although it should be noted that the Cardinals at 6-7, have been mathematically eliminated from playoffs.
This is a big game for the Bengals. At 7-6 they are still in the hunt for the second wildcard spot. One game behind the Jets and tied with the Titans and Raiders, the Bengals needs to win their remaining three games. This is a tall order, but begins this Sunday with the 2-11 Rams. This will be their easiest of their final three games. If they can get past the Rams they will face the Cardinals the following week.
