The NFL season is approaching the halfway point, and numerous betting odds are available on USA online sports betting sites. Popular betting odds for the 2024-25 season include game line odds, futures, and props.
While many people often wait till the teams are announced to bet on the Super Bowl, we like to place early bets to lock in favorable odds. Below, we will discuss game lines and the value of betting on early future odds in more detail.
NFL Game Line Odds
NFL Game line odds offer several ways to bet on individual competitions. The most famous line offered is the win line, as it represents the odds associated with betting on the winner of the game. Below, you will see that the win odds for the Chiefs are set to -470, indicating that they are a heavy favorite.
Kansas City Chiefs vs. Las Vegas Raiders
- Spread: -9.5 (-115), +9.5 (-105)
- Win: -470, +345
- Total: O41.5 (-105), U41.5 (-115)
If you don’t want to bet on the Chiefs, you could bet on the Raiders to cover the spread. Therefore, you will win the bet if the Raiders win the game or lose by less than 9.5 points.
You can also bet on the total number of points scored in the competition with total odds. This bet is also called over/under bets, where you can bet on the total number of points to be over or under the set number of points. In the game line above, the total points are set to 41.5, so both teams’ combined scores must be 41 points or under for the underbet to payout.
Super Bowl Futures & More
Another fun way to bet on football is with online and mobile sports betting sites that offer future odds. Since the NFL is the top dog in online betting leagues, future odds are typically available all year. Popular future odds include who will win the Super Bowl, season MVP, offensive player of the year, and so on.
New bettors often choose futures for their value. Below, you will see a $100 bet locked in on the Chiefs to win Super Bowl LIX, and a three-peat would payout $425. These odds will change from week to week as the season progresses.
