Spreads place a margin by which a favored team will beat its opponent.
There are a variety of bet types, and the NFL football odds listed will be specific to outcomes related to that wager type. If the New Orleans Saints are listed at +130, a $100 wager and a Saints win would turn a $130 profit. For example, if the Minnesota Vikings are listed at -130, you must bet $130 to turn a $100 profit on a Vikings win. A positive number (+) means they are not favored to win. When reading NFL odds, a negative number (-) by a team’s name means they are favored to win. The opportunities to wager on your favorite teams, players, and matchups also carry a feeling of intensity and excitement. When the NFL moves from the regular season into the playoffs, every game is win-or-go-home. Each season, millions of NFL fans turn their attention to the playoffs and root for their favorite teams to prove their supremacy.
