How to Read NFL Betting Lines: How NFL Moneylines Work

NFL odds are almost always presented in the American odds or moneyline format. You'll see either a plus sign or a minus sign in front of a number. The number following a plus sign (+) is the amount you can win on a $100 bet. The number following a minus sign (-) is the amount you would need to bet to win $100.

These odds demonstrate an NFL team's perceived chances of winning or losing. Negative odds indicate the favored basketball team; positive odds indicate the underdog. All you have to decide is which team will win.

The American odds format is used to indicate not just moneyline markets, but totals, futures, and prop bets, as well. So, if you understand how NFL moneyline odds work, you'll understand the rest of NFL betting that much better.

NFL Parlays Combine two or more individual NFL bets onto one ticket. You can pick from multiple games or just one (called a Same Game Parlay). This is becoming a super common type of NFL bet.
NFL Futures Bet on a future outcome of the NFL season. That includes the Super Bowl winner, conference champion, division winner, MVP, team with the most wins, and more.
Point Spread The point spread is the projected margin of victory for the favored team. In NFL betting, you're deciding whether the favorite will win by more or less than that amount. If you win your bet, you'll cover the spread.
NFL Player Props You can wager on individual outcomes that have nothing to do with the final score of an NFL game. Player prop bets can include Anytime Touchdown Scorer or Race to Points. Any major statistical category you can think of for an NFL player, there's probably a prop bet for that.
NFL Totals Betting Sportsbooks will set the total number of points both teams are projected to score in a game. With a totals bet, you're wagering on whether you think the final scores will be more or less than that number.
NFL Live Betting With all of these markets, you can either place a pregame bet or bet live once the game has already started. This is called live betting, and it's extremely popular, especially in NFL betting. As the odds change with game action, you can make new bets and capitalize.

NFL Betting This Week in NC: Today's NFL Betting Lines

I recommend checking odds boards and North Carolina sportsbook promotions daily to see what value you can find. There are a few betting categories I keep a close eye on throughout the NFL season.

Super Bowl

The Super Bowl is the pinnacle of North American sports. Even if you didn't watch any football, you're almost certainly watching the Super Bowl every year. This is the final game of the NFL season between the AFC Champions and the NFC Champions. The winning team gets the Lombardi Trophy.

An American Gaming Association survey reports 23M adults were expected to bet an estimated $1.39B on Super Bowl LIX, held in New Orleans.

Ultimately, most moneyline bets were placed on the Philadelphia Eagles, who managed to defeat the two-time defending champions, the Kansas City Chiefs.

Here are the early odds for Super Bowl 60:

🏆 BUF Bills	+600
🥈 BAL Ravens	+600
🥉 PHI Eagles	+700
🏈 KC Chiefs	+850
🏈 DET Lions	+1100
🏈 WAS Commanders	+2000
✅ Last Verified:	September 12, 2025

For a head start on the season, track the Panthers Super Bowl odds with us.

Carolina Panthers

The Carolina Panthers are North Carolina's hometown NFL team. Established in 1993, the Panthers have made two Super Bowl appearances in franchise history.

NFL Playoffs

The NFL postseason is a four-round tournament divided by conference, the AFC and the NFC.

There are seven seeds up for grabs in each conference, and the winner of each of the eight divisions get an automatic bid. The No. 1 teams get a huge advantage with a first-round bye and home-field advantage guaranteed throughout the playoffs.

Unfortunately for Carolina fans, the Panthers missed the playoffs this season, extending their postseason drought to seven years.

End-of-Season Awards

The league honors the best players at NFL Honors a few days before the Super Bowl. Here are the main awards given out each year:

Award	2024 Winner
🏆 MVP	Josh Allen
🏆 Offensive Player of the Year	Saquon Barkley
🏆 Defensive Player of the Year	Patrick Surtain II
🏆 Offensive Rookie of the Year	Jayden Daniels
🏆 Defensive Rookie of the Year	Jared Verse
🏆 Coach of the Year	Kevin O'Connell
🏆 Comeback Player of the Year	Joe Burrow
