NFL Betting News

NFL Football Betting Information

NFL betting remains by far the biggest single driver of sportsbook business, even as other sports continue to grow in popularity and even as more wagering dollars find their way to casinos and poker rooms. So it’s no surprise that America’s hunger for the latest and best NFL point spreads continues to grow, along with football injury updates and matchup data to help them win more bets.

The importance of NFL OVER/UNDERs and other types of odds has never been greater and thanks to website authorities like Odds Shark, accessing information has never been easier. And never been faster. You can get NFL lines updated almost as fast as they happen through our NFL odds pages here. We aggregate the feeds from more than 25 sportsbooks to pool a huge amount of data from all over the world.

Divisional Previews

NFL Betting

Betting on the NFL is not a simple case of picking one team or the other. Successful NFL betting comes through analyzing NFL odds, NFL point spreads, watching NFL spreads and line moves during the week and studying which games have good betting value. Just because your team is favored by a point spread of 7 and you think that’s a good deal doesn’t mean that it’s a safe bet. And it doesn’t mean you can’t find a better NFL line or NFL point spread (maybe -6.5 or -6) at another sportsbook. It’s important to learn how NFL spreads are set and why they move if you want to win more bets this NFL football season. When many people wager on one team, the spread, or the line may move because the sportsbook wants to have even action on both sides (in other words, they want as many people betting the favorite as they are betting the underdog). And this doesn’t even take into account betting on NFL totals (also known as OVER/UNDER odds), moneyline wagers or NFL player props where you can bet on whether Cam Newton will have more passing yards in Week 12 than Russell Wilson. Those NFL football odds can be great fun and create great profits for fantasy football gurus.

Why is this global data so important? You can compare the best football lines and find the best NFL spread on the game you want to bet on. Why bet the Patriots at -4.5 at your sportsbook when another shop just moved New England to -4? That is line value and it will save you money many times during a season of football wagering. It’s the same situation with Super Bowl odds. They are set a year in advance and move on injury news, with trades and based on other factors. You should know when the time is right to place a bet.

So while you learn how much action is on each game via the consensus data or search the NFL database for your own trends and angles, don’t forget about preseason betting opportunities.
