American Football Betting Odds

American Football established itself as the most popular sport in the USA many moons ago. However, the sport has made an impact across the globe in more recent years, with teams like the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers boasting fans in even the most obscure of regions.

You can find all our American Football betting markets on this page at talkSPORT BET.

Fans can find betting markets for both professional football and collegiate football, which is American Football at the amateur level. 

NFL

The NFL is easily the most popular American Football league in the U.S. There are 32 teams and the season culminates with the annual Super Bowl, which is one of the largest sporting events in the world. Get NFL betting and Super Bowl odds & betting markets with us.

CFL

The Canadian Football League (CFL) is comprised of only nine teams - they each play 18 games over a 21-week regular season. The Grey Cup - Canada’s Super Bowl - is played every November.

USFL

The United States Football League (USFL) has just eight teams and takes place during the NFL’s offseason. The USFL is consequently a great option for American Football betting while the NFL is on hiatus.

NCAA College Football

While the NFL rules Sunday during autumn, college football is the king of American Football on Saturdays. The top tier of college football has well over 100 teams. Saturdays between late August and late November feature dozens of games. This means for lots of action on the field and makes for some interesting NCAA betting odds.

American Football is one of the most popular sports in the entire world. In recent years, ludicrous sponsorship and broadcast deals have meant that viewers can tune into games from their TV sets or online.

With a global following, acclaimed athletes and numerous events taking place throughout the year, there's an abundance of action for bettors.

Here at talkSPORT BET, we offer several American Football betting markets:

Handicap

This variation of American Football betting involves looking at a spread. One team will be favoured over the other but will need to cover a certain number of points. For example, a team that’s favoured by 3.5 points would need to win by four points or more; otherwise, the losing team will win the handicap bet.

Money Line

The moneyline takes the spread out of the equation. With this type of betting, the bettor only places a wager on the winner of the game. The caveat is that the odds and payout won’t be even for both teams.

Total Points O/U

Rather than betting on the winner of a game, a total points bet is only concerned with the total points scored in a game. Typically, there's an over/under (O/U) value given. Bettors wager on whether the total points scored will be higher or lower than that number.

Outright Betting

Instead of betting on a specific game, outright betting is a long-term bet. The most common types include betting on the winner of the Super Bowl before or during the NFL season. However, there are other outright bets available for the winner of a specific division or conference.

Every American Football bet will be accompanied by odds that let the bettor know how much they will profit if they win their bet. For instance, one side of a handicap bet might have 3/4 odds. In this case, simply multiply your bet by three and then divide by four. Therefore, a £100 bet would have a profit of £75.

For handicap and O/U bets, each side of the bet is usually close to even. With a moneyline, one side is a little more lopsided than the other depending on which team is favoured and which team is the underdog.

Betting revolves around chance. That said, you can make informed betting choices by researching factors such as the form of the players, their average statistics from recent games and predictions from industry experts.

Plus, you should always keep an eye out for developments such as last-minute injuries, as this could potentially affect the final score.

Another key tip for American Football bets is to gamble responsibly - set a budget and don't chase losses.
