How is the NFL set up?

The National Football League (NFL) is the most popular professional American football league in the United States. The NFL consists of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). Each team plays 16 games during a 17-week regular season that runs from early September to late December.

The NFL’s 16-game regular season schedule is designed so that each team plays every other team twice, once at home and once on the road. This makes for a total of 256 games over the course of a season.

How do you read NFL betting lines?

The most common way to read NFL betting lines is by using the point spread. The point spread is the number of points that the favored team is expected to win by. For example, if the New England Patriots are playing the Miami Dolphins and the Patriots are favored to win by 7 points, then the line would be:

New England Patriots -7

Miami Dolphins +7

If you bet on the Patriots, they would need to win by more than 7 points for you to win your bet. If you bet on the Dolphins, they would need to lose by less than 7 points for you to win your bet.

Different types of bets on NFL

The first thing you need to know is that there are two main types of bets you can make on an NFL game: point spread bets and moneyline bets.

Point spread bets are the most common type of bet, and they work like this: Let’s say that the New England Patriots are playing the Miami Dolphins. The Patriots are favored to win by 7 points, so if you bet on them, they must win by more than 7 points for you to win your bet. 

Moneyline bets are less common, but they’re easy to understand: You simply pick which team will win outright, regardless of the margin of victory. So, using the same example, if you think the Patriots will win but don’t want to risk them not winning by enough points, you could bet on them on the moneyline instead.
