How to use this NFL odds board

The table above lists every game on the current NFL week, from Thursday night through Monday night, priced across the sportsbooks that accept U.S. bettors. Switch markets with the Spread, Moneyline and Total tabs. Read across a row to compare books on one game, or down a column to see how a single book has priced the whole week. On the Moneyline tab the best available price on each side is outlined in green.

On the spread, the number matters more than the price. Books post nearly identical juice — usually -110 either way — but they frequently disagree on the number itself, and that disagreement is where the value sits.

Why half a point matters so much in the NFL

NFL games land on certain margins far more often than others, because points come in threes and sevens. Across NFL games since 2006, the final margin was exactly 3 points in roughly 9% of games priced near that number, and exactly 7 in about 6%. No other margin comes close.

That is why moving a spread across 3 is worth so much more than moving it across 5. Taking +3 instead of +2.5 turns every three-point loss from a defeat into a push, and those three-point games are the single most common outcome in the sport. When one book has +3 and another has +2.5 at the same price, they are not offering the same bet.

NFL betting lines explained

Every NFL game in the board above is priced three ways — the spread, the moneyline and the total.

Point spread

The spread is the margin the favorite must win by. A team at -6.5 has to win by seven or more to cover; the underdog at +6.5 covers by losing by six or fewer, or by winning outright. Both sides are typically priced around -110, meaning you risk $110 to win $100. Because most NFL games are competitive, the spread is the most widely bet market in the sport.

Moneyline

The moneyline is a straight bet on the winner with no spread attached. A minus price marks the favorite (-250 means risking $250 to win $100) and a plus price marks the underdog (+200 means a $100 bet returns $200 in profit). On a heavily favored team the moneyline pays little, which is why the spread is usually the better value on lopsided games.

Totals (Over/Under)

The total is the combined points both teams are expected to score. You bet whether the game finishes over or under the posted number — Over 44.5 wins if the teams combine for 45 or more. It is independent of who wins.

When do NFL odds come out?

Sportsbooks post look-ahead numbers for the following week as early as Sunday night, and the full week’s card is generally up by Tuesday. Lines then move through the week as injury reports land, weather firms up, and money arrives. This board covers the current week and is refreshed daily, so it reflects where the market sits today rather than where it opened.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you read NFL odds?

NFL odds use American format. On the spread, a team at -6.5 must win by seven or more; a team at +6.5 covers by losing by six or fewer or winning outright. The price beside the number, usually around -110, is what you risk to win $100. A minus moneyline marks the favorite and a plus moneyline marks the underdog.

Why is the point spread different at each sportsbook?

Each sportsbook sets its own number based on the bets it is taking, so the same game is often posted at -2.5 at one book and -3 at another. Those are meaningfully different bets, which is why comparing the number across books before betting matters more in football than in any other sport.

What is the most common NFL margin of victory?

Three points. Across NFL games since 2006, roughly 9% of games priced near that number finished with a margin of exactly 3, and about 6% finished at exactly 7. That concentration is why buying or selling a half point across 3 changes the value of a bet so sharply.

When are NFL lines released each week?

Look-ahead lines for the coming week often appear Sunday night, and most sportsbooks have the full slate posted by Tuesday. The numbers move through the week as injuries, weather and betting money come in. This board covers the current week and refreshes daily.

Is it better to bet the spread or the moneyline in the NFL?

It depends on the game. On a close matchup the two are priced similarly and the choice is mostly preference. On a lopsided game the moneyline pays very little on the favorite, so the spread usually offers more value, while the underdog moneyline offers a bigger payout at a lower win probability.
