The NFL betting market is easily the most sought-after in the state, and sometimes you can find NFL sports betting promos that make it even sweeter. We'll review the different betting options for your favorite NFL teams below.
NFL Spreads
The point spread in NFL betting shows the expected difference in strength between the two teams. A plus sign (+) means a team is the underdog and is getting points, while a minus sign (–) means the team is favored and giving points. For example, if a team is +2.5, they need to either win the game or lose by two points or fewer to cover the spread. If they’re -2.5, they must win by at least three points for the bet to cash.
NFL Moneyline Bets
NFL moneyline betting is one of the simplest ways to get started. You’re simply picking which team you think will win the game. A minus sign (-) shows the favorite, and the number tells you how much you need to bet to win $100. A plus sign (+) shows the underdog, and that number tells you how much you’d win on a $100 bet. If the odds don’t look right before kickoff, you can always wait for live betting. In-game odds often shift, and moneyline bets can offer better value once the action starts, especially in close games.
NFL Totals
Totals betting lets you focus on the final score instead of picking a team to win. You’re simply betting whether the combined points will go over or under the number set by the sportsbook. For example, if the total for a Bengals vs. Eagles game is 55.5, you’d bet on whether the two teams will score 56 or more points (the over) or 55 or fewer (the under). Just like spreads and moneylines, totals are available for live betting as the game unfolds.
NFL Player Props
The most popular NFL prop bets, or proposition bets, focus on individual player statistics. If you've played fantasy football, you can put that insight to the test here by betting on the following examples:
- First Touchdown Scorer: Bet on which player will score the first touchdown of the game.
- Anytime Touchdown Scorer: Bet on which player will score a touchdown at any point during the game.
- Total Touchdowns: Bet on the total number of touchdowns scored in the game, usually with an over/under line.
- Total Touchdown Passes: Bet on how many touchdown passes will be thrown during the game.
- Total Yards: Bet on the total number of yards a player, team, or both will gain during the game.
This market is also available for live betting.
NFL Team Props
Other prop bet types focus on an individual team. Say there's a game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Minnesota Vikings. There will be opportunities to bet on their team-wide statistics, including the following:
- Total Points Scored: Bet on the total points a team will score in the game, typically with an over/under line.
- Total Yards: Bet on the total number of yards a team will gain during the game.
- Total Interceptions: Bet on the total number of interceptions thrown by a team during the game.
NFL Futures
We all do it, we predict what teams we think will do well by the end of the season. With NFL futures wagers, you can bet on what teams or players you think will win awards and championships by the end of the season. For example, there are odds available for the New England Patriots, Kansas City Chiefs, Dallas Cowboys, Cincinnati Bengals, and every other NFL team for the following markets:
- Super Bowl Winner
- Division Winners
- Conference Winners
- Playoffs
- Win Totals
- Player Awards
We encourage checking these out often to find the current odds.
What Is The Best Way To Bet On NFL Odds?
The best way to bet on NFL odds might require some research, but finding the best value is worthwhile. You can start by establishing your favorite online sportsbook and taking advantage of their welcome bonus. For example, at BetMGM, you'll get up to $1,500 in bonus bets if your first bet loses with promo code BETMACOM.
From here, you'll want to identify what you want to bet on. After you decide what to bet on, compare odds across multiple online sportsbooks to determine the best places to bet on the NFL regular season, NFL playoffs, the Super Bowl, and more.
Line Shopping For The Best NFL Odds
We touched on this earlier, but line shopping is one of the smartest ways to bet on NFL games and find the best value.
Here’s a quick example:
Let’s say you’ve been researching the upcoming game between the New York Giants and Washington Commanders and decide you want to bet on the Giants moneyline. Your go-to sportsbook has them listed at -170. But after checking around, say on DraftKings, Caesars, and FanDuel, you see that FanDuel has the Giants at -150 and the Commanders at +150.
By shopping around, you’ve found a better price on the same bet, in this case, a 20-point swing in value. Over time, these small differences can have a big impact on your overall results. Line shopping not only helps you get better odds, but it can also reveal new betting opportunities you might have missed.
How To Read NFL Odds
Reading NFL odds, whether you're interested in moneyline betting, point spread betting, or totals betting, is pretty much the same.
- Minus/Negative NFL Odds: When you see a minus sign, like -120, it indicates the favored team. To win $100 in profit, you’d need to wager the same amount. For example, if the Pittsburgh Steelers are -120, you’d need to bet $120 to win $100 in profit (plus your original $120 stake).
- Plus Sign: If the odds show a "+," that’s for the underdog. For instance, if the Houston Texans are +110 against the Steelers, you’d win $110 in profit on top of your $100 wager if the Texans win.

NFL Odds FAQs
The easiest way to read NFL betting lines is like this: if a team has "-" odds, that's how much you need to bet to win $100 in profit (plus your stake). On the other hand, "+" odds show how much you'll win in profit on top of your $100 bet if it’s successful.
