How to Bet on the NFL: Football Betting Explained
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 games illustrates the gap in power between the two teams playing. If you see a team with a "+" point spread, that means they're "getting" points, whereas a "-" indicates they're "giving" them. If a team is +2.5, they must either win the game outright or lose by two or fewer points. Conversely, the team that has a point spread of -2.5 must win the game by three points or more.
NFL Moneyline Bets
NFL moneyline betting is easy to understand, and it's also the most straightforward wager, as you pick which team you think will win. The "-" shows the favored team, and the "+" is the underdog. The "-" shows how much money you must wager to win $100. The "+" shows how much you'll win with a successful $100 wager. If the value isn't there pregame, you can wait for live betting to see if that changes. Live odds are a great way to make moneyline wagers, especially if the game is closer.
NFL Totals
Totals allow you to move away from betting on individual teams and instead focus on the final score. You'll bet on this through the lens of "over or under." For example, the line for a game between the Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles could be 55.5. Here, you'd wager whether they'd combine for 56 or more points or 55 or fewer points. This is available for live betting too.
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 above, but line shopping is the best way to not only bet on NFL games but also find the best value.
Let's walk through an example.
Say you've been researching the upcoming New York Giants and Washington Commanders game and determined you want to bet on the New York Giants moneyline.
At your favorite online sportsbook, they're -170.
However, after looking at DraftKings, Caesars, and FanDuel, you find that FanDuel has the Washington Commanders at +150 and the Giants at -150.
You've found 20 points of point spread betting value by looking here. Line shopping helps find new betting opportunities.
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.


Super Bowl Odds
At the time of this writing, we are in the offseason and patiently waiting for the 2025-26 season to kick off. But we already have a host of online sportsbooks with Super Bowl futures betting odds.
Below are some notable New England Patriots odds for the upcoming season.


New England Patriots Super Bowl Odds
Looking around the NFL betting landscape, the New England Patriots odds to win the Super Bowl in the 2025-26 season are around +6000, giving them a 1.6% chance. With this wager, you'd win a total of $6,100 if you bet $100 on them and they win the Super Bowl. These odds will fluctuate once the season starts and each week.
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.
