American Football Betting Odds

American football is becoming increasingly popular in the UK, thanks to extensive coverage and the UK-based games hosted each season.  

But how do you bet on the NFL and college football to increase your enjoyment of the game? Join us as we explain how to bet on NFL games and access the best American football odds in the UK at Betano.  

Here are the best markets if you’re keen to bet on the NFL or NCAA American football action this season: 

Moneyline Bets  

A moneyline wager is a straight-up bet on the team you think will win a specific American football fixture. So, if you fancy the Bengals to beat the Browns, simply place a moneyline wager on the Bengals to win.  

Point Spread Betting  

Point spread betting in American football is known as handicap betting in other sports. You need to choose a team to bet on with a points handicap attached. So, if you think the Bengals will romp home against the Browns, you could back them with a -6.5 handicap applied. 

Over/Under (Totals) Betting  

Rather than betting on a team to win an American football match, you can place a wager on the total number of points you think will be scored. For instance, you might bet on over or under 45.5 points being scored in the match between the Bengals and the Browns.  

Prop Bets  

Proposition bets are wagers that don’t concern the match’s outcome. There are both player and match props. Examples include the player who will score the first TD, which team will win the first quarter, and how many flags will be in the match.  

Futures Betting  

Instead of betting on a specific game week, a futures bet enables you to bet on an outcome at the end of the season. The most apparent NFL futures wager is the team you think will win the Super Bowl. But you can also back a player to win the MVP or a team to win a specific conference.  

Remember that the odds you see might be in the American format when betting on American football. This is a three-digit number accompanied by a plus or minus (e.g. +200/-200). The minus number indicates the favourite, while the positive number indicates the underdog.  

If you’re unfamiliar with American odds, you can change them to fractions or decimals before betting. You can adjust the odds in your account settings at Betano. When familiar with the odds, follow these steps to place a wager on American football:
