American Football Betting Markets

When it comes to actually betting on American Football markets, there are so many options available to you. Of course, betting on the outright winner of the NFL or the winner of a game are the most popular. 

Alongside this though you’ll also find a number of other specific markets, including:

• Match Winner: This is also known as moneyline and is a bet on the winner of a match.
• Handicap: Some bookmakers will refer to this as pointspread as this is the term used in the USA, but is a bet on the winner of a game with a handicap in place.
• Quarter/Half Betting: You can bet on the result at various stages of a game including at the end of each quarter or half.
• Total Points: Betting on the total number of points is a common market in NFL and is an over/under market on the total combined points.
• Winning Margin: This is a wager on the team that will win and the number of points they will win by.
• Touchdown Scorer: This is a bet on a player to score a touchdown.
• Yards Thrown: This is a bet on how many yards a quarterback will successfully throw during a game.

As well as this, you can also bet on a number of outright markets across the season in the NFL, including:

• Super Bowl Winner: This is a bet on the overall winner of the NFL Championship.
• MVP: This is a wager on the most valuable player in the NFL during a season.
• Conference Winner: You can bet on the winner of the two conferences. These are ultimately the two teams that win the Conference Championship and compete in the Super Bowl.
• Division Winner: This is a bet on the winner of a particular division.

The Biggest American Football Events to Bet On

There is only really one major event when it comes to American Football and that’s the NFL. It is huge in the USA and that has spread across the world.

The NFL takes place every year from September through to February, and is broken down into a regular season and postseason. The regular season runs through to December, with the postseason and play-offs then taking place throughout January, with the Super Bowl then kicking off on the first Sunday of February.

Among the other major events includes the Pro Bowl, which puts the best of the AFL up against the best players in the NFC, and is competed for annually in Hawaii.

Thanksgiving weekend is also a big weekend for the NFL, while the NCAAF is becoming increasingly popular with punters as college football becomes more accessible globally.
