Besides the regular game odds, many sportsbooks offer props as well. NFL games feature dozens of markets, and you can bet on anything from over/under totals to touchdown scorers. NFL props are most popular during postseason and the Super Bowl, when they have even higher odds and payoffs. In addition, you can bet on team props, such as who will score the most touchdowns, as well as the winning margin.
NFL playoffs are unlike other North American sports, with one game single-elimination games. Typically, a higher seed plays a lower seed. Because the lower seed usually gets into the playoffs because it played in a tougher division, betting on NFL playoff games is all about picking the hot team or getting the best number. Here’s a look at the most popular NFL games and how to place your bets.
If you want to place bets on sports, you should always check with your state’s laws and the federal government before placing a bet. If you live in an unregulated state, sports betting is not legal. To get more information about sports betting legislation, visit the Action Network website. The organization tracks all state legislative efforts and updates the public on what’s happening with the sports betting industry in your state. It’s worth checking back frequently to stay on top of the latest news on the issue.
You can also bet on the over/under total in NFL games. If you are unsure whether a team’s defense is better than expected, bet on the total score instead. If the game has a large number of TDs, the “under” is a sure winner. For example, a Ravens game last year had a 50.5-point total, which was a solid bet. Whether the game is fast-paced or slow-paced, a team that has a large lead may try to slow the game down. This can result in more drives and fewer points.
