How To Understand NFL Odds and Betting Lines

The world of online NFL betting can be daunting; we get it. It's very easy to get lost in the motions between trying to understand how NFL odds and betting lines work and making sure you come up with a winning ticket. But come on; you didn’t think we here at BetUS Sportsbook were about to leave you hanging out to dry right before the start of the 2025 NFL season? To get you ready for all the action that’s about to start unfolding and make sure you can make the best out of all your weekly NFL picks, let’s run through a basic 101 of understanding NFL odds and betting lines. First, the basics. The NFL season consists of 18 weeks of action in which at least 16 games are played maximum on the schedule. Alongside morning and afternoon schedule slates on Sundays, three marquee weekly dates take most NFL news headlines: Thursday Night Football (TNF), Sunday Night Football (SNF), and Monday Night Football (MNF). When it comes to betting on NFL action, the picks are plentiful, and here at BetUS, we’ve got them all. From moneyline and ATS (Against the spread) picks to over/under, parlays, and prop bets, we’ve got you and your betting game covered for the season. So how do they work? Get ready for a whirlwind explanation of NFL betting picks:

• • Moneyline: Easiest bet of them all; you pick an outright winner of each game, be it the favorite (-) or underdog (+).
• • Spread: The most popular pick for NFL betting odds fans. Here, you don’t pick an outright winner. Instead, you choose whether team A can win by an “X” amount of points, or team B will either lose by as many points as the margin offers or wins the game, causing an upset.
• • Over/Under: Here, it’s not about taking team A or team B; you’re betting on both of them to either go over or under the slated amount of points scored for the game. Do you think the game will be an offensive shootout? Bet the over! Are NFL predictions experts calling the game a defensive standoff? Take the under!
• • NFL Parlays: Take various picks of your liking from an array of games for the weekend and try to devise a betting ticket that could push you to a massive payout. Remember, if one pick falls through, the final win does, too.
• • NFL props: Focused on specific events that can happen within a game or series of games, these bets are all about stats and player performances and are not related to the final score or outcome of the game directly. Nowadays, they’ve become some of the most popular NFL bets for fans.
• • Futures: Just like props, you’re not betting on the outcome of any game but instead focussing on specific future events, such as divisional and conference winners, the winner of Super Bowl LIX, this coming season’s MVP Award winner, Offensive and Defensive Rookies of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, and Coach of the Year. If you have a talent for predicting the future, how about taking a stab at some 2024 NFL futures betting odds?

 

Tips To Make The Best 2025 Season NFL Picks

Now that online NFL betting school is out, let’s talk about what matters most right now: some hot tips to ensure that your 2025 NFL season picks lead you to wins week in and week out.

• Keep a close eye on how each conference title race is shaping up. Entering the season, the Kansas City Chiefs (+330) and Baltimore Ravens (+550) hold the best opening odds to win the AFC conference. Over in the NFC, the San Francisco 49ers (+275) and Detroit Lions (+550) are leading the pack. Even if these teams seem like very enticing picks right now, keeping an eye on other contenders and pretenders could lead to a bigger payout here.

In the waiting game that is playing with NFL futures betting odds, favorites can change weekly.

• Key Performers Can Make Or Break Your Bets. We all know about the Patrick Mahomes’, Lamar Jackson’s, Christian McCaffrey’s, and Jalen Hurts’ of the league. There’s a reason why they are all riding high in our odds to win the regular season MVP award rankings. But in a league like the NFL, where any given player can become a star from one week to the next, keeping an eye and understanding on performers throughout the league could spark a whole new wave of profits, especially with how popular NFL game and player props have become.

 

• Stay up to date with all information. NFL news and rumors are an everyday kind of thing once the season gets going, which means that always staying one step ahead of the game when it comes to knowing about team and player’s actuality is essential. From on and off the field issues and disputes, to injury concerns, everything comes into play when wanting to come up with a winning NFL odds strategy, and for the 2024 season, with so much on the line, that couldn’t be any truer. Lucky for you, here at BetUS Sportsbook, we’ve got you covered with all the latest news, analysis, odds, lines, picks, and predictions. So worry not, and get to betting on the 2024 NFL season here.

 

NFL Betting Done Responsibly

While getting caught up in the excitement behind betting on the 2024 NFL season, here at BetUS, we understand that betting is much more fun when done responsibly and maturely. By promoting responsible gaming practices and offering tools and resources to keep your online betting ship sailing smoothly, our primary goal is to make your experience with us the best. As a token example of said responsible practices, here are a couple of tips all NFL betting fans should consider for the upcoming season:

1. Bet with your mind, not your emotions: Objectivity is vital when betting on NFL games. Everybody has a favorite team in the NFL, but that doesn’t mean you can’t bet against them. When analyzing potential bets and payouts, sometimes going with picks that rival your favoritism but offer better results is the best way to go.
2. Research, Research, Research! Knowing the ins and outs of every matchup you want to bet on will give you an insider's view of how to win betting on the NFL. From weather and field conditions to player injuries that can affect NFL lines and odds, as well as trends, streaks, and slumps, everything counts.
3. Quality over quantity: Especially when wanting to bet on NFL parlay picks, picking quality bets over quantity will likely ensure a more positive outcome. So what if your buddy at work tries his luck with 18-leg parlays? Stick to five tops, looking for the best results, and watch the action unfold.
4. Variety is key: Don’t always stick to the same kind of bets for every game. Some might feel best for ATS betting, others for game totals and the moneyline. Some games might even feel best for only targeting NFL prop bets. By diversifying your strategy, you can find the road to hitting bigger value.
