No one could have predicted that. Looking ahead at this week, can the Bills bounce back against the legendary Mike White? It's sure to be another wild weekend. Since their surprising loss to the New York Jets , the Titans have gone They were underdogs in all four.
Tennessee is now against the spread this year and they just keep winning. This Sunday could be a letdown spot against a good defense, but there are two developments that made me want to make the Titans a best bet: One, Trevor Siemian is not a legitimate starting quarterback, and two, I think there's something going on with Alvin Kamara. Football reported that the Saints tried out three running backs, and that he had heard whispers Kamara had gotten banged up.
Sure enough, Kamara did not practice on Wednesday due to a knee injury. He is obviously the most important player on offense for the Saints, and without him, this line should move. Kyler Murray may return this week, but I don't even care. Colt McCoy beat the 49ers last week by more than Murray did earlier in the year 14 points. He didn't have a perfect game but he had the support of two under-appreciated running backs in James Conner and Eno Benjamin , as well as a defense that is playing great ball.
The Panthers lost Sam Darnold for a few weeks, but with how he's been playing that may be a good thing. Anytime you add this many teams into a bet, things can go a bit haywire even if you feel confident in it. Even if it manages to move the ball, who is stopping TB12 and his merry band of receivers? Betting the moneyline is as simple as picking the winner of a game. Favorites can be identified by the negative line, while underdogs have a positive moneyline.
Because favorites are the team labeled by oddsmakers as more likely to win, bettors must risk more if selecting them. An example of an NFL moneyline would look like the following:. Doing the math based on the number and adjusting for your exact wager amount is the easiest way to calculate potential wins and losses. Underdog bettors can eliminate some of the risk by betting against the spread and sprinkling a smaller amount on the moneyline.
Every NFL game on the schedule has a point spread , which is essentially a figure set by oddsmakers as a potential winning margin for the favorite, and losing margin for the underdog. The favorite must win by more than the point spread indicates to cash your ticket. So a wager on the Rams at If the spread is a whole number and the favorite wins by that exact number of points, the wager is graded a push and it will be void.
For the most part, oddsmakers set NFL spreads at or around key numbers such as 3, 6, and 7 points. Homefield advantage is expected to be worth about three points, and consensus favorites are usually between -6 and Betting on totals , widely known as over-unders, is self-explanatory. These are bets on whether the combined score of the game will go over or under an amount of points set by oddsmakers. Nearly all NFL totals will be in the 40s or 50s for a regular-season game, with the exact number depending on a range of factors including the two teams.
An example would look like this:. A bet on the over would require 55 combined points or more, while the under hits if there are 54 combined points or fewer. Similar to spreads, totals are the same for both teams. There are tons of factors to consider when betting the total, including weather and other conditions heading into the game. The pace of play is also a huge factor in determining how many possessions each team squeezes into 60 minutes and how many scoring opportunities can be generated.
Outside of the traditional moneyline, spread, and total, sportsbooks offer a wide range of proposition markets, almost exclusively referred to as props. These bets are essentially wagers on in-game events and mostly operate independently from the ultimate result of the contest. DraftKings is one of the sportsbooks known for having one of the broadest menus of props available. For every single NFL game on the schedule, online sportsbooks offer a wide range of player, team, and game props.
There are dozens of markets and quite literally hundreds of betting options to choose from for each matchup on the slate, and the number of choices only grows when the postseason and Super Bowl arrive. The most popular options are player props centered around individual players, many of which are over-under bets.
For the longest odds and biggest payday, look toward the touchdown scorer markets or try predicting the correct winning margin. While player props are perfect for those interested in fantasy football, many of the game and team props provide a unique game-viewing experience. Some options can combine player stats and a game result, and these are known as player prop parlays.
Futures are exactly what they sound like: bets based on a future event as opposed to an individual game. When betting on the NFL, there are many different options available. As is the case with props, these bets are broken up into team futures and player futures.
After simulating every game 10, times, the model is high on the Broncos to cover as 2. Denver has won back-to-back games to pull within a half-game of the division-leading Chargers and Raiders in the AFC West.
Philadelphia is in a dogfight with the Giants and Washington for second place in the NFC East, far behind the division-leading Cowboys Denver quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is having a career season.
The former first round pick of the Vikings , Bridgewater has thrown 14 touchdowns and just five interceptions this season. He is one touchdown shy of matching his career-high, which he set last season in 15 games.
On Sunday, he faces an Eagles defense that allowed Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert to complete of passes for yards and two touchdowns a week ago. The total number of points scored or which player scores them, don't matter here, as you're simply just betting on the team you think will win, with the betting for this market looking something like:.
You only have two markets to choose from when it comes to the moneyline, making them one of the easiest markets to understand. Spread betting is offered by online sports betting sites as a way of evening out the odds between both the favorite and the underdog in NFL matches.
Spread bets see the favorite given a number of points in the form of a handicap, with the underdog then being handed the same number of points in the form of a 'head start'. If you're betting on the favorite to win, they must then beat the underdog by more points than their handicap for your bet to be a winner, with the favorites' handicap being bigger or smaller depending on their odds to win the match. In order for a bet on the underdog to win, they'll need to lose by a total that's less than the head-start they were given.
Should they lose by less points than this head start, or win the match, your bet will be a winner. In this scenario, if you're betting on the Buccs to cover the spread, you will need Tampa Bay to win by at least seven points for your bet to be a winner.
When betting on the Cowboys, your bet will win as along as Dallas lose by six points or less, or win the game overall. With totals markets, you are wagering on whether the total number of points scored in a match will be over or under a certain line that has been predetermined by your sportsbook.
If you're betting on there to be over If their scores combine to make 51 or less, your bet will end up losing, however if they add together to get 52 or more, your bet will win, with the market itself looking something like this:. Moreover, you can also wager money on the amount of points scored by a specific team in the match. For this market, you only need to worry about how many points the team you've bet end up scoring, and not the total number of points scored in the game, with this betting for this looking like:.
Player props are bets that are placed on markets that directly relate to the numbers a certain player puts up during a match. Player prop bets are a very popular form of betting amongst bettors, as they give you the chance to just bet on a specific player and how they perform, as opposed to betting on a specific team or on the game as a whole.
When it comes to player prop bets, you can bet on a load of different markets, with these being some of the ones currently on offer:. With game prop bets, you are betting on the outcome of certain areas in the game that won't necessarily be relating to the final result or the total number of points scored, for example.
There are a huge number of game prop bets to wager your money on when it comes to betting on NFL games, with these being some of the ones you're able to wager on:. To put it simply, parlay bets are ones that contain a number of picks picks from either different NFL games, or different picks from the same game where a betting site allows them to be made. With this example, you would need all of the Buccs, Chiefs and Saints to win their matches for your parlay bet to be a winner.
