How to Read NFL Odds?

The odds are the backbone of making sports picks because they indicate the likelihood of an event occurring, allowing you to quickly identify the team with a higher chance of winning. Additionally, they provide information about the potential amount you win from successful picks. 

One thing to note is that odds come in various formats, the most popular being American, Decimal, and Fractional. These odds pass the same message, just in different displays. Here’s a more detailed breakdown of how they work: 

American Odds

These are the most common formats for NFL and CFL football odds in the United States. As such, it’s the default display at Sportzino. They're represented by positive or negative numbers:

  • Positive odds (e.g., +150) indicate the potential amount you make on a 100-coin prediction,
  • Negative odds (e.g., -200) show how many coins you need to predict to win 100 coins.

For example, if the Kansas City Chiefs have odds of -200, you'd need to play 200 coins for a chance to win 100 coins. Conversely, if the Denver Broncos have odds of +150, a 100-coin prediction could yield 150 coins if accurate.

Decimal Odds

As their name implies, these options appear in a decimal form. They represent the total payout, including your original prediction amount. To calculate your potential profit, simply multiply your prediction amount by the decimal odds and subtract the coins you used for your original prediction.

  • For instance, the Green Bay Packers have decimal odds of 2.50.
  • You use 100 coins to make a prediction. 
  • It can result in a total amount of 250 (2.50 x 100).
  • This means you get a profit of 150 coins.

Fractional Odds

Odds in this category are displayed as fractions, such as 5/1 or 9/2. Here's how they work: 

  • The first number represents the potential profit.
  • Meanwhile, the second number is your prediction amount.
  • For example, if the New England Patriots have fractional odds of 3/1, a 100-coin prediction could yield a 300-coin profit.

Types of NFL Odds and Lines

You now understand the basic formats for displaying sportsbook odds. So, let’s explore the major markets Sportzino offers. This way, you can easily pick NFL game odds you’re familiar with. Check out the most common markets below: 

Moneyline 

The moneyline option is the most straightforward prediction you can make. You only need to choose the team you believe will win the game outright. There’s no need to worry about complex math like the margin of victory; your only task is picking the winning side. 

To further illustrate, consider a game between the Buffalo Bills (-180) and the Miami Dolphins (+150). In this case, the Bills are the favorite, meaning they stand a better chance of winning. On the other hand, the Dolphins are the underdogs with lower winning chances. Just pick one of the two teams you think will be the game champions. 

Point Spreads

NFL spreads are more complicated than moneylines but not so complex that you can’t attempt them as a beginner. You only need to understand that the social sportsbook tried to level the playing field between strong and weak teams. As a result, the weaker side gets a headstart, while the favorite team has to cover the spread. Here’s an example of a points spread market: 

  • Los Angeles Rams -6.5,
  • Arizona Cardinals +6.5.

The Rams would need to win by 7 or more points for predictions on them to pay out. On the other hand, the Cardinals' predictions would win if they lost by 6 or fewer points or won outright.

Over/Under (Totals)

For this market, you focus on the combined score of both teams in a game. Sportzino sets a number, and you predict whether the actual total will be over or under that number. Consider a game of Baltimore Ravens vs. Pittsburgh Steelers, with the NFL game odds set at 47.5.

If you predict "Over," you expect the combined score to be 48 or more. An "Under" prediction wins if the total is 47 or less.

Prop Odds

These are the go-to options if you want something other than the regular NFL spreads, moneylines, or totals. These NFL football odds cover specific events within a game that may not directly affect the final outcome. These can include:

  • Player performance (e.g., total passing yards for a quarterback),
  • Team performance (e.g., first team to score),
  • Game events (e.g., whether there will be overtime),
  • Seasonal outcomes (e.g., MVP winner).

FAQ

How to Read NFL Odds?

Reading NFL line odds depends on the format. For the American version, you’ll see numbers with plus and minus signs in front. Those with negative signs indicate the favorite and show how many coins you must play to win 100. Sides with positive signs are the underdogs, and their numbers tell you how much you win for playing 100 coins. 

How are NFL lines different from NFL odds?

NFL lines are identical to the odds because they show you the possibility of an event happening. However, NFL game lines are more specific to moneylines, and point spread markets, while odds encompass all options, including props and totals. 

What are NFL spreads?

NFL game spreads are markets where the social sportsbook tries to level the playing field between two teams. The favorite team is assigned a negative spread, while the underdog gets a positive spread. 

What do moneyline odds mean in NFL games?

Moneyline NFL football game odds show both strong and weak teams, giving you an idea of the sides that will likely win or lose the match. When making a moneyline prediction, you simply pick the team you think you will win. You receive extra coins if your prediction is correct. 

What are over/under (totals) in NFL game lines?

These NFL lines are set at a particular threshold. You then decide if the total number of points scored in that game will be more or less than the set number. 

How often are NFL odds updated?

Our National Football League odds are updated based on changes or developments that can affect a team’s performance. For live odds, we provide the latest lines in real time and ensure you can easily see the price changes.
