How to read Super Bowl 55 Odds

The Kansas City Chiefs wil meet the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl 55 from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida on Feb. 7, 2021.

The Chiefs opened as -3.5 betting favorites while the Buccaneers are 3.5 underdogs.

After early wagers came in, most operators are holding Kansas City -3 (-120).

If you were to wager on Kansas City -3, you would have to lay 5/6 odds (Bet $120 to win $100) instead of your normal 10/11 juice (Bet $110 to win $100).

The return on Tampa Bay would be even-money (1/1) and a $100 wager would return $100.

Nfl week 1 odds picks

The total or over-under on Super Bowl 55 is hovering between 56 and 57 points.

How to read NFL Las Vegas Odds

The point-spread was developed to provide a balance for both teams involved in a contest to entice bettors to potentially back the weaker team and receive points. The two squads in a game are listed with a title, either a favorite or an underdog. The favorite is usually the perceived better team in the game, as backing them means giving up several points.

The favorite is always listed with a minus (-) sign before the point-spread while the underdog is labeled with a plus (+) label.

Ex. Favorite -10, Underdog +10

On the VegasInsider.com odds page, there is another number associated with the favorite and its listed as -10. This number is simply defined as “vig” or what many in the sports betting industry call vigorish. Another common term is called “juice” and it’s technically the price the bettor has to pay on a straight wager.

Ex. Bet $110 to win $100 (10% juice)
Ex. Bet $100 to win $90.91 (10% juice)

Nfl Betting Lines Week 1 2015

It's not uncommon to see other values posted other than -10. Examples seen on the NFL Vegas Odds pages could include -08, -12, -15 and -20. The -10 price is the most common value in the industry while many books offer reduced 'juice odds' and that would fall into the -08 category.

The lower-juice sportsbooks are normally found outside of the state Nevada. If you are in a state where sports betting is legal, please check out our online sportsbook directory to find the best and most secure places to make NFL bets.

Another number that’s posted on the NFL Las Vegas is the total or ‘over/under’ for the specific matchup. If the favorite is designated as the home team, then the total will be listed above and vice versa if the visitors are favorites.

All of the above numbers are listed next to the teams, and before each matchup is a Rotation number. The NFL Las Vegas Odds are listed in order of rotation and those numbers are generated and produced by the sportsbooks. Above each matchup and rotation is the Time of the game, which is subject to change. All game times are Eastern Standard Time.

NFL Open Line

One of the best features on the NFL Vegas Odds is the Open Line. This numbers consists of the first betting line received from one of our Las Vegas or Global Sportsbooks. The opening line varies depending on the sportsbook but it provides a clear-cut rating that the oddsmakers use. If you’re betting on the NFL or any other sport, it’s a great idea to view the open line first.

VI Consensus NFL Line

The VegasInsider.com Consensus NFL Line is just as important as the Open Line and also a key resource on odds platform. The Consensus column could be called a “Median Line” since it shows the most consistent number provided by the sportsbooks on VegasInsider.com. The consensus line will be the same as the open line but once the wagers start coming in, this number is often different than the openers.

How do I bet on the Super Bowl?

We know that you can bet on the Super Bowl and all of NFL Futures or bet on the NFL Draft at any time of the year, but what’s the process? The future wager or the “Odds to Win” bet on the Super Bowl is correctly selecting a team to win an event that takes place at a later time. A bettor will have his wagered money tied up until there is an outcome and bettors will receive fixed odds when they place the wager. In the case of the Super Bowl, you’re not a winner or loser until you see zeros on the clock in the final game.

Most sportsbooks offer different ways to read to Super Bowl Odds. In the fractional NFL Futures Odds format below, you simply take the odds and multiply by the amount wagered.

Ex. Green Bay (8/1) to win the Super Bowl

The Packers are listed as an 8/1 betting choice to win the Super Bowl. If you wager $100 on Green Bay to win the NFC and they capture the championship, then you would win $800 (8 ÷ 1 x 100). Your online betting account would then credit your account $900, which includes your win and stake ($100).

The American Format would see Green Bay listed at +800 and for the Decimal Format, the Packers would be 9.00.

If you are in a state where online betting is legal, we encourage you to check out our sportsbook directory to find the most trustworthy and reputable sites and mobile apps to place your Super Bowl bets.

The NFL Season is here. Week 1 is around the corner! What better way to ring in the season than betting the board. Picking a Spread in Every Single game.

Boy oh boy, this off-season has felt like an eternity. We can all agree that 2020 has been a long year. But similarly, we can all agree we are happy that football is back to give us all time to relax and enjoy staring at the TV for hours on end. Week 1 is always one of the most exciting weeks. I am curious which team will surprise us all. Let's get into some picks.

This will be a weekly article posted every Friday or Saturday with my picks. I am using the lines averaged across several different sportsbooks. Some lines will change slightly, but in general, I believe in the team to cover regardless. This is Week 1. There will be lots of uncertainty in Vegas about these lines. Let's take advantage of them before they calibrate.

I will keep track of my record weekly. We all start on a clean slate.

Record: 0-0-0

Disclaimer: these are my picks, not betting/gambling advice, just my thoughts and opinions. I don't want to be responsible for the loss of money, or items broken in rage (we've all been there). If you win some money based on the picks below, tweet at me @BetTheBoard365. If you lose money, Venmo request the team you picked because they are the real ones that let you down, not me.

Let's start with the 1:00 Games.

NFL Betting Picks 1:00 Games: Week 1

Bears at Lions(-3)

Pick: Bears+3

Analysis: The Bears have the better Defense. They have a motivated Trubisky, who will be benched quickly if he puts up a stinker. The Lions lost Darius Slay. This game should be a close, low scoring game. I like the Bears a little more. Not to mention that Kenny Golladay is banged up as well.

Browns at Ravens(-7.5)

Pick: Browns+7

Analysis: The Browns played the Ravens well last year, even winning outright once. The Browns should surprise people this year. They have a new coaching staff. They can't play worse than last year, right? Ravens should win, but I wouldn't be surprised if this game is closer than people think.

Packers at Vikings (-2.5)

Pick: Packers+2.5

Analysis: This game could truly go back and forth. In the end, I am taking Aaron Rodgers over Kirk Cousins. I do think the Vikings are more talented as a whole, but Rodgers has something to prove. I believe he makes a statement Week 1 with a big performance. Packers win late on a FG.

Colts(-7.5) at Jaguars

Pick: Colts-8

Analysis: Jaguars are terrible. The Colts will dominate at the line of scrimmage with the rushing attack. This line will change, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it up to 8.5 or 9, but I'm still taking it. Colts win by 10+.

Raiders (-3) at Panthers

Pick: Raiders-3

Analysis: If I could skip a game, this would be it. Absolutely disgusting matchup. For that reason, Raiders win big because it doesn't make sense. My rationale is that the Panthers lost a lot of starters, and are entering the game with a completely new coaching staff. It will take some time for Matt Rhule to adjust to the NFL. Raiders will cover easily.

NFL Betting Picks 1:00 Games: Week 1 continued.

Dolphins at Patriots (-6.5)

Pick: Dolphins+6.5

Analysis: Patriots are without a lot of starters on defense. Dolphins will keep it close, might even win outright. Wouldn't be surprised if that happened. I am just not sold with the Cam Newton hype. Last time we saw him, he couldn't hit a receiver standing still, yet alone in full stride. I'm just not a believer in the Patriots this year and the Dolphins always play them tough.

Jets at Bills (-6.5)

Picks: Jets+6.5

Analysis: As a Jets fan, this is a gut call. My rationale is: as a true Jets fan, they always hurt us good Week 1 with one of two options: (1) They win Week 1 just to go on an intense losing streak afterwards OR (2) they will lead by 10+ the whole game, just to choke the lead at the end. In other words, the Jets like to get your hopes up just to make the pain hurt even more. I'll take the Jets +6.5. Not sold on the Bills or Josh Allen either. I think they are seriously overhyped.

2017

Nfl Betting Lines Week 10

Eagles (-5.5) at Washington

Pick: Eagles-6

Analysis: The Eagles defense is very underrated. They now have a lock-down corner (Darius Slay) to go along with their dominant front seven. They will create havoc and it'll be a long day for the Washington Football Team. Redskins will struggle to run the ball and they don't have any reliable pass-catchers after McLaurin. Eagles win big.

Seahawks (-1.5) at Falcons

Pick: Seahawks -2.5

Analysis: This game feels like a trap. This line should be -4.5 or more. I am not sold on the Falcons. They have not done much to improve this offseason. I think the game is close like Vegas believes, but overall, in a close game, I am taking Russell Wilson over Matt Ryan. Seahawks are just a better team than the Falcons.

NFL Betting Picks 4:00 Games, SNF & MNF: Week 1

Chargers (-3.5) at Bengals

Pick: Bengals +3

Analysis: I am a Bengals fan this year. I think Burrow is the real deal and he will make a statement Week 1. The Chargers still don't seem to have replaced Derwin James, and I am of firm belief that we will see Justin Herbert this year, which means that the Chargers are going to have to get off to a bad start…….and that begins with a Week 1 L to the Bengals.

Cardinals at 49ers (-7)

Pick: 49ers-7

Analysis: I love Kyler and Hopkins, but it's the 49ers we are talking about. There is too much hype on the Kyler Train and it needs to be halted. The Cardinals have done nothing to improve their offensive line which is horrendous. Kyler will have flashbacks to his rookie year when he had to run for his life. Niners win by 10+ and start their trek to get back to the Super Bowl.

Buccaneers at Saints (-3.5)

Pick: Saints-3.5

Analysis: As a Tampa resident, I have to love and support the Bucs. This just doesn't seem like the game that they win though. Especially with reports of a hobble Mike Evans. It's Drew Brees at home. The Saints have the more complete team with a better defense. I think it will be very close. Final Score: Saints 27- Bucs 21.

Cowboys (-3) at Rams

Pick: Cowboys-3:

Analysis: I can already see the headlines, 'Are the Cowboys legit Super Bowl contenders?' after they have their way with the Rams. This is just what the Cowboys do. They will have a great performance Week 1 only to follow it up with a Week 2 loss to the Falcons. Rinse and repeat. Gimme the Cowboys to win convincingly.

Nfl Betting Lines Week 14

Steelers (-5.5) at Giants

Pick: Steelers-6

Nfl Betting Lines Week 1

Analysis: The Return of Big Ben. I don't have much to say. Steelers defense was insanely good last year. Danny Dimes is going to turn the ball over per usual. I don't expect this game to be particularly close. Steelers win in dominant fashion.

Titans (-1.5) at Broncos

Nfl Betting Picks

Pick: Titans -2.5

Nfl Betting Lines Week 16

Analysis: I am sorry Broncos fans, you aren't winning this game. The Broncos, who struggle to defend the run and also lost their best defensive player, now get to go up against a Titans team who only runs. Broncos might keep this close, but the Broncos are overhyped. The Titans are the better team and will cover the spread.
