HOW TO BET ON NFL GAMES

This section explains popular questions about how to bet on football games. We will explain how to bet on NFL games with a point spread, the best apps for NFL betting, NFL betting lines, and whom to bet on when it comes to the NFL today.

So how does one bet on NFL games?

If you are unsure of how to bet on NFL games, read our handy How to bet on NFL guide which provides you with all the information you need to start betting.

When you’re ready to place a bet, your first option is to head to the Betway Insider NFL blog category to read through our NFL experts’ picks and predictions each week. Each article will have a link to the sportsbook, where you can then place your bet.  

Otherwise, you can head straight to the Betway app to place your bet. Draftkings NFL odds and Fan Duel NFL lines are other options as well.   

The most popular market on the sportsbook for NFL betting is the moneyline market, where you
place a bet on the result of a game.  

Another popular market is spread, or handicap betting, in which one team is handed an advantage to
even the matchup. For example, if one team is a heavy favorite, it might be given a spread of - 11.5, meaning it must win the game by at least 12 points for the bet to hit.   

In addition to betting on the result of a game, you can also bet on how many total points you think will be
scored. The sportsbook will display a total, for example, 61.5, and you can bet on whether you believe there will be more or fewer than 61.5 total points scored in a specific game.   

You are also able to place bets on player performances, such as picking a player to score a touchdown, or a quarterback to throw a certain number of touchdown passes.  As well as these main markets, there are hundreds of other outcomes that you can bet on before an NFL game. Simply head to the Betway sportsbook to discover your options.

TYPES OF NFL BETTING ODDS 

NFL MONEYLINE

A moneyline bet on NFL games is simply a choice of which team you think will win the game outright. There are no point spreads to take into account and the odds set by Betway Sports are based on each team’s perceived chance to win the game. There are three possible outcomes of an NFL moneyline bet:

Win – The team you backed won the game by any score and you win the bet.
Loss – The team you backed lost the game by any score and you lose the bet.
Draw – The game or game segment (half, quarter, period etc.) ended in a tie.
The bet is a push.

Moneyline bets will appear at Betway like this:

Team A, the favorite (-250)
Team B, the underdog (+200)

Using the above example, the moneyline on Team B, the underdog, is +200, meaning that a $100 wager would pay $200 in profit ($300 total return). If Team B wins the game. +200 is 2-to-1, +300 is 3-to-1 and so on. The favorite, Team A, is -250 to win the game outright, meaning you would need to wager $250 to win $100. Since the favorite is considered to have a better chance of victory, a bet on a favorite always pays out less than a bet on an underdog.

NFL SPREAD BETTING

Point-spread betting is all about leveling the playing field. Discover how to bet on teams with an NFL point spread. 

What is a spread, and how does betting against the spread work?

A spread is the margin of points by which one team is favored over another team. If Philadelphia is a 6.5-point favorite against Washington, a bettor placing a bet on the Philadelphia spread needs the team to win by at least seven points. 

In the same scenario, a bettor can bet on Washington +6.5. For this bettor, Washington can either win the game or lose by six of fewer points for the bet to cash. 

An NFL bet against the spread is any bet that accounts for that -6.5/+6.5. In any game, NFL spreads can be as low as “pick ‘em” (meaning no spread at all) to the all-time record spread of -27.

What happens if the spread results in a tie? Let’s say Pittsburgh (-10) is playing Arizona (+10), and Pittsburgh wins 30-20. Anyone betting on the spread (for either team) would have their original bets refunded by the Betway Sportsbook. 

Each week, stay tuned for the Monday Night Football spread and the Thursday Night Football spread. 

NFL TOTALS - OVER/UNDER

Totals betting focuses on the combined score of both teams. We’ll teach you how to bet
on whether the final score will be over or under a specific number.

What is the over/under-betting meaning? Let's say the over/under line is set at 47.5 in the Philadelphia vs. Washington game

An Over bet means the bettor is predicting the total combined points scored by both Philadelphia and Washington will be 48 points or higher (over 47.5)

An Under bet means the bettor is predicting the total combined points scored by both Philadelphia and Washington will be 47 points or lower (under 47.5)

What happens if the spread over/under in a push? Let’s say Pittsburgh is playing Arizona and the over/under is set at 40, and Pittsburgh wins 23-17. Anyone who bet on the over/under would have their original bets refunded by the Betway Sportsbook. 

Each week, check Betway for the over/under Thursday Night Football and the over/under Monday Night Football totals.

NFL LIVE BETTING

You think you know ball? Live betting brings you even closer to the action. If you see momentum swinging or sense a big turnover is coming, live NFL odds allow you to back your own expertise in real time! If you bet the spread pregame and it looks like a winner, you can double down on that with live NFL betting. If you couldn’t pick a winner before the game but you like the matchup in the first quarter, you can back a team based on what you’re seeing unfold.

NFL PLAYER PROPS

NFL player-prop bets focus on individual player performances. Learn how to bet on specific player statistics such as touchdowns, passing yardage, and more.

A player-prop bet is based on the performance of a single player. Think one team’s quarterback is going to have a big day, and his passing touchdown line is set at 2.5? If you take the over, your bet will hit if that quarterback throws for at least three touchdowns.

NFL PARLAY BETTING

NFL Parlay bets combine multiple selections into one ticket for potentially higher payouts. 

In a parlay bet, the overall wager involves multiple bets all hitting. Here’s an example: 

Philadelphia (-150) is favored to beat Washington. Philadelphia moneyline: -150

Pittsburgh (-9.5) is favored to beat Arizona. Pittsburgh spread: -9.5

A bettor can place a parlay on both the Philadelphia moneyline AND the Pittsburgh spread. Both results need to happen in order for the bettor to win the bet. 

Why bet parlays? Parlays can offer big payouts, and bettors can bet anywhere from two to an unlimited number of selections on a single parlay, including across multiple sports. Betway offers NFL parlay bets online. 

NFL SAME-GAME PARLAY

What is a same-game parlay? What is the same-game parlay meaning? Same-game parlays allow you to combine bets within a single NFL game for added excitement. Here is an example that combines both the moneyline and a player prop: 

Philadelphia (-150) is favored to beat Washington. Philadelphia moneyline: -150

The bettor predicts the Philadelphia quarterback will go over on his passing touchdown line of 2.5. Quarterback touchdown odds: -110

A bettor can place a parlay on both the Philadelphia moneyline (-150) AND the Philadelphia quarterback exceeding 2.5 touchdowns (-110).

NFL BETTING FAQs

HOW ARE NFL ODDS DETERMINED?

Odds are determined by Betway’s bookmakers based on a combination of factors, including team performance, player injuries, and public betting trends.

HOW DOES AN NFL PARLAY WORK?

For a parlay bet, you are wagering on multiple bets which all must hit.

Here’s an example: 
Philadelphia (-150) is favored to beat Washington. Philadelphia moneyline: -150

Pittsburgh (-9.5) is favored to beat Arizona. Pittsburgh spread: -9.5

A bettor can place a parlay on both the Philadelphia moneyline AND the Pittsburgh spread. Both results need to occur for the better to win the bet. 

Why bet parlays? Parlays can offer big payouts, and bettors can bet anywhere from two to an unlimited number of selections on a single parlay, including multiple sports. Betway offers NFL parlay bets online. 

HOW DO NFL PARLAY PAYOUTS WORK?

Bettors have two options with parlay payouts: either ride the parlay out or “cash out” midway through. Here’s how that works:

Option 1: You can wait for all bets in the parlay to convey
Option 2: You can cash out for a compromised amount midway through the bet. Maybe one leg has hit and another is still up in the air. A better can “cash out” and receive a winning but smaller sum from the original bet.
