NFL Odds

How are NFL odds determined? What factors play a role in a Vegas linemaker’s decision? These are questions that you must consider before you make a bet. NFL odds are pretty easy to figure out, so most handicappers who have spent some time around the business can usually come very close to guessing what a game’s line will look like before it ever comes out.

NFL odds are primarily determined by a couple different things. First and foremost, overall team strength is a huge consideration. In the NFL, the best teams win, more times than not. After that, things like home field advantage, weather, injuries, and travel time will combine to determine how large or how small a line is. Luckily for bettors, NFL odds aren’t that hard to figure out.
