New to NFL betting? This guide covers everything: spreads, totals, moneylines, props, and more. By the end, you'll understand how the pros approach it.
The spread is the great equalizer. It levels the playing field between favorites and underdogs. When you bet the spread, you're not just picking a winner - you're predicting the margin.
Totals (over/unders) focus on combined scoring. Ignore who wins - just predict whether the total points exceed the number set by oddsmakers. It's a different way to engage with games.
The most important lesson: bankroll management. It's obvious. Never bet more than you can afford to lose. Set limits. Stick to them.
