Types of Bets You Can Make on NFL Games

NFL betting is an exciting playground for players for one special reason—there are tons of different bets you can place on a single game. Here are the types of bets you can make on NFL games:

• NFL Spread Bets – The spread bet is a basic NFL bet where you pick the winner of the game while factoring in a point spread that the oddsmakers have set. For example, the Chiefs -6.5 against the Chargers would mean that the Chiefs are favored to win and have to win by 7 points or more in order for your bet to win. The Chargers, on the other hand, have to lose by less than 7 or win in order for the Chargers +6.5 to win. (Note: Read more about how to read betting odds here.)
• NFL Total Bets (Over/Under) – NFL total bets include wagering whether the total score of the game will be over or under a certain number. The sportsbooks give a margin, say 41.5 points, so you need to choose between betting the Over (42 or more combined points between the two teams) or the Under (41 or less combined points).
• NFL Moneyline Bets – Probably the simplest form of NFL bet, moneyline betting includes choosing the outright winner of the game.
• NFL Parlays – Parlays include joining two or more events into a single bet that you win only if each individual event wins. In exchange for the increased difficulty, you receive a higher payout.
• NFL Same Game Parlays – Made popular by FanDuel, same game parlays involve combining sides, totals, player props, and/or game props from the same game in a single parlay.
• NFL Teasers – Similar to parlays, NFL teasers include combining several straight bets into a single parlay but with the point spread or total adjusted in your favor. In the NFL, the most common teasers are 6, 6.5, and 7 points. So for example, if the Eagles are -3, you would get the Eagles +3 on a 6-point teaser. In exchange for the decreased difficulty, you are given a lower payout on teasers.
• NFL Game Props – NFL game props do not focus on the final score of the game but rather on things such as who will win the coin toss, who will have more turnovers, or the total number of offensive yards.
• NFL Player Props – These focus on an individual player’s performance or who will win between a matchup of two players. For example, you can bet on how many touchdowns a QB will throw or how many passing yards he will have, who will have more rushing yards between two running backs, or whether or not a player will score a TD.
• NFL Round-Robins – A round-robin bet is similar to a parlay except all of your individual selections will be combined into smaller parlays as well as the total parlay. For example, if you choose the Eagles, Patriots, and Broncos to win straight up in a round-robin bet, you would typically have four total parlays: (1) All three teams together, (2) Eagles + Patriots, (3) Eagles + Broncos, (4) Patriots + Broncos.
• NFL Futures – NFL futures bets let you place a wager on the outcome of a future event, such as the winner of the Superbowl, the MVP of the league, NFL Offensive Player of the Year, NFL Defensive Player of the Year, etc.
