NFL Odds and Betting Lines

The Basics of NFL Odds and Bets

On this NFL odds page, we'll cover all the basics of NFL odds and betting lines including how to read betting lines, how winnings are calculated and some of the key things that any bettor should know about betting on the NFL in Canada.

Reading NFL Betting Lines

You'll notice odds are displayed using the moneyline system in Canada.

How it works is based on the value of $100. Football odds will have either a negative or positive symbol in front of them. For example, if the odds for a Cincinnati Bengals win show -110 it indicates that you would have to bet $110 to win $100. The lower the number, the more probable sportsbooks think the outcome is.

If odds have a positive value such as +220 it indicates that you could win $220 when you bet $100. The higher the value the less likely the outcome in the opinion of the sportsbook.

How are winnings calculated?

When betting on the National Football League, two factors will determine your winnings. The first is the odds that your bet has been given. This shows how much you can win.

The second contributing factor to calculating winnings is the amount of money you put into your bet. The more money you place on your bet, the more you potentially get back if you win, no matter what odds your bet is. However, never bet more than you can afford.

Important things to consider when Betting on the NFL in Canada

There are several important factors to understand about betting on the NFL in Canada, with one of the most important being based on your location. Canada has ten provinces and each one is trusted to regulate gambling in its own way. This means that you may find the types of bets available and how you can place bets may differ.

Some sportsbooks and sports betting apps may be licensed to offer retail sports betting and online sports betting while others may only offer one or the other also. This means that if you bet in one location where Bet365 are available if you have to travel and want to place bets when you're away, Bet365 may no longer be an option so you may have to open an account with someone like DraftKings instead.

Types of bets you can find

When betting on the NFL and football in general, there are many different types of bets that you can place.

We will go through some of the most popular NFL bets and explain how they work. We'll also go into more detail about some future bet options and what NFL Vegas odds you can get on them.

Moneyline

The moneyline bet is the most popular because it is the easiest to pick up and learn. It allows you to bet on the outcome of a game such as the Baltimore Ravens vs. Miami Dolphins, and all you have to do is pick the team you think might win.

Spreads

Imagine if you were placing a moneyline bet and someone asked you "do you think the Ravens would win even with a 5.5-point deduction?". That's basically what a point spread betting is. It predicts a game's outcome with a team having a handicap. The favorites usually get a points deduction, and the underdog usually gets points added on.

Totals

A totals bet is betting on the total number of something during the game. This could be the total number of points scored, the total number of sacks or even the number of incomplete passes To avoid doubt totals bets work on an over/under system where you may bet on whether the total will be over or under a certain amount.

Parlays

If you're feeling lucky because you had a dream about the NFL and all the results came to you, rather than putting all those bets on individually, you can combine them into a single bet called a parlay. This is a higher-risk bet because all the results you back have to win for the bet to win. There is no room for error. The positive is the odds are often higher than standard bets.

Prop bets

A prop bet is short for a proposition bet. These work by betting on the proposition of something happening during a game that may not affect the outcome. NFL prop bets can come in several forms, such as team props, which team will score the first touchdown, and player props such as which player will make the first pass interception.

Future bets

Rather than focusing on an individual NFL game or the events inside a game, future bets focus on longer-term goals such as who will make the playoffs and who will win the Super Bowl.

But there are many future markets available and we've listed some of the most popular below:

NFL FINALS ODDS

NFL Finals odds come in a variety of different forms. You can bet on the outright winner of the Super Bowl. You can bet on who will be conference and division champions or just which teams will make the playoffs at the end of the regular season.

NFL MVP ODDS

Every season, players, teams and the media vote on which players have been the best throughout the NFL season. You can bet on who you think may earn an MVP award, but because it is based on opinions, who you think may be best can differ from the professionals.

NFL ROOKIE OF THE YEAR ODDS

The NFL Draft produces some top talents each year, and then you have the players who may come to the NFL from other leagues such as the CFL. Through the same process as the MVP awards, a Rookie of the Year award is also picked and you can bet on who you think may get it.

NFL DRAFT ODDS

Talking of the NFL Draft, you can also bet on this as well. You can bet on which player may get picked first, what round a player may get picked up by, or which team will pick certain players.
