NFL Football Betting Odds

We get asked what exactly is meant by point spreads and odds so we created this little section to explain what NFL betting odds mean. Take a situation where you see Minnesota +9.5 at Philadelphia. That means when the final score is in, Philadelphia has to win the game by more than 9.5 points. If the score is Philly 29, Minnesota 20, Minnesota bettors win. If the score is Philly 30, Minnesota 20, then the Philadelphia backers will be pulling in the profits. This is how an NFL pointspread works for NFL odds. An expert online handicapper should be able to help you beat these odds by providing winning football picks on a weekly basis. The odds are also known as NFL betting lines or NFL Point Spreads. The lines makers determine which NFL team to add points to or subtract points from in each NFL matchup in order to make the score even. They want an equal amount of action on each team so they can take the vigorish, or juice, and make money no matter what the outcome is. The better team will be the favorite and the home team normally gets 3-4 points leaned towards their way to make up for home-field advantage.

When the linesmakers come up with the Pro Football Odds for each weekend's games, they look at a number of different factors to help determine the predicted outcome. The NFL oddsmakers take in-depth looks at injury reports, local newspapers, player match-ups, coaching strategies, where the game is played, and a variety of other factors. Some teams play better in a dome, some on grass, some off a bye week, some when playing after a loss and you need to know these strategies for your pro football picks.
