Totals set for NFL games typically sit in the 40-50 point range. In football, the totals are bets based on the number of points scored in a single game and you must decide if the total will go over or under the number set by DraftKings Sportsbook. On the other hand, Chicago must lose by three points or fewer to cover +3.5 on their side. For example, if Cincinnati is a -3.5 favorite against Chicago, Cincinnati must win by at least four points to cover.

If you take a team to cover a negative spread, it means they must win the game by a greater number of points than that total. It’s typical to see spreads sit in the 3-7.5 point range in a regular season matchup, but the number can expand or shrink depending on the talent gap between the teams facing off. Spread betting is another immensely popular type of betting in football. For example, if the Moneyline has the Jets as -450 favorites against the Texans, you would have to bet $450 to win $100, which also demonstrates how heavily New York is favored to win the game. The larger the numbers are after the + or - symbol, the wider the supposed gap is between the two teams.

Favorites are designated by negative (-) odds, while underdogs have positive (+) odds to emerge victorious. Due to a variety of factors – such as talent gaps and home/away environments – almost all NFL games have a favorite and an underdog.

Betting on the Moneyline is straightforward, as you’re simply picking a winner.
