USFL Betting Odds and Lines

What is the USFL about?

The USFL is an American professional football league that has 10 teams competing against each other in two divisions to decide the league champion.

The USFL season takes place in the late spring and early summer and is another great way to bet on American football outside of the NFL.

How Does the USFL work?

There are many different ways to bet on the USFL, however the three most common wagers are the moneyline, point spread and total.

The moneyline is the same as any sport, involving the bettor placing a wager on which team they think will win.

The point spread, meanwhile, is a number given by the sportsbook and involves how much a bettor thinks a team will win or lose by, while the total is the combined total number of points both teams will score in the game.

Betting Strategy

There are a few different strategies bettors can employ to get the most out of their bet.

The first strategy would be to look at how teams are playing recently. Teams, and players for that matter, who have been playing well and are on a winning streak are likely to use that momentum to continue playing well while teams in a slump may struggle.

It’s also important to keep track of injuries on a team, as if a team is without their star player, it’s unlikely it will play or perform as well as it typically would have if with them.

Finally, looking at the history between two teams can also help. How teams have played against each other in the past can not only inform bettors for their moneyline bets, but point spreads and totals as well, as teams may do very well or poorly against some teams that could affect the total.

Prop Bets

Prop bets are another option for betting on the USFL and can boost the entertainment value of the game.

Prop bets are wagers on player performances or events that will happen in the game, such as what kind of stats a player will record, what will be the first score of the game, or who will score first.

Though there are multiple different ways to bet on the USFL, the three most common ways are the moneyline, point spread and total.

The moneyline is the same as in any sports, involving a bettor predicting who will win the matchup, with teams typically represented by a positive or negative number. The team that is favored will be given a negative number while the underdog is represented by a positive number. The greater the number, the larger the favorite or underdog.

For example, in the Panthers-Maulers matchup, the sportsbook favors the Maulers, giving them -150 odds to win while the underdog Panthers have +130 odds. A bettor would need to place a $150 wager on the Maulers to win $100 should they win while a $100 wager on the Panthers would win $130 on the Panthers.

In a point spread bet, bettors have to predict how much a team will win or lose by. In the case of the Panthers-Maulers game, the sportsbook gave a 3-point spread. The Maulers would have to win by more than three points to cover the spread while the Panthers would have to win outright or lose by less than three to cover.

Finally, the total is a bet that involves a bettor choosing how many points both teams will combine to score, with the total in the Panthers-Maulers matchup set at 38 points. If a bettor thinks they will combine for more than that, they would bet the over, while they would take the under if they thought it would be a lower-scoring game.

The sportsbook also offers fans the chance to bet on prop bets in the USFL, which are bets on certain events or player performances that would take place in a game.

Bettors can place a wager on who will score first, whether the first score will be a touchdown or field goal or something else, what kind of stats a player will have, and much more to increase the entertainment of the game.
