NFL Betting Markets & Odds

The NFL is the highest level of American Football and one of the world's biggest sporting competitions. Every year, millions of fans from around the world catch 'football fever', all desperate to see their team make it to the infamous Super Bowl.

Here at BetVictor, we're proud of our extensive range of American Football betting options. You can find an extensive range of NFL odds and betting markets in our sportsbook, alongside in-play betting for all games that become available as soon as the match gets underway!

What is the NFL League Structure?

The NFL operates with a clear, organized structure that divides 32 teams across two major conferences. The American Football Conference (AFC) and National Football Conference (NFC) each contain exactly 16 teams, creating a perfect balance within the league.

Each conference splits into four divisions: East, North, South, and West, with four teams competing in every division. This current structure took shape in 2002 after the Houston Texans joined as the 32nd team, completing the modern NFL framework.

Teams within each division face intense competition throughout the regular season, playing six games against their three division rivals. Every team plays each divisional opponent twice during the season, which helps maintain fierce rivalries and creates exciting matchups for fans.

The divisional setup serves multiple purposes: it simplifies scheduling, keeps travel costs manageable, and ensures that geographic rivals meet regularly. Each NFL roster can hold up to 55 players, though only 48 are eligible to play on game days, plus teams maintain a 16-player practice squad for development purposes.

What is the NFL Playoff Structure?

The NFL playoff structure functions as a single-elimination tournament that determines the league champion each season. Fourteen teams qualify for the playoffs, with seven teams from each conference earning their spot through regular-season performance.

Each conference sends four division winners and three wild-card teams to the postseason, ensuring that teams with the best remaining records get their chance to compete. Division winners receive guaranteed playoff spots regardless of their overall record, making winning a division crucial for securing a postseason berth.

Seeding plays a key role in determining matchups and advantages throughout the tournament. The top seed in each conference receives a first-round bye, allowing them to rest while seeds 2 through 7 compete in the Wild Card round.

Teams with tied records face a series of tiebreakers to determine their final playoff seeding and positioning. This current 14-team format was implemented in 2020, expanding from the previous 12-team structure that had been in place for years.

Championship glory awaits at the end of this challenging postseason journey. The tournament culminates in the Super Bowl, held in early February each year, where the two conference champions battle for ultimate supremacy.

The Most Popular NFL Betting Markets

A range of different NFL betting markets can be found at BetVictor, with some of the most popular ones being:

  • Money Line: Also known as the match winner market, this NFL betting option revolves around picking which team will be victorious in a game. Should they win, the bet will be marked as a winning one.
  • Over or Under: For this NFL bet type, a number of total points will be shown on the screen, such as 40.5, for example. Players can then bet on whether they think more or fewer points will be scored in total throughout the game.
  • Half Time / Full Time: You can use this bet to predict which team will be winning at half time and full time, respectively. For example, if you bet Detroit Lions / Detroit Lions, they must be leading at halftime before going on to win the entire match, too.
  • Highest Scoring Quarter: Just like the name suggests, you can use this option to bet on the highest scoring quarter of the match.
  • Draw No Bet: With a draw no bet wager, your stake size will be returned should the game end in a draw. Alternatively, if your chosen team wins, the bet will be awarded at the corresponding odds, or if the team loses, the bet will too.
  • Outright: You can also bet on the overall winner of the NFL online. Should the team you pick lift the Vince Lombardi trophy following a victory at the Super Bowl, the bet will be marked as a successful one.

There are plenty of other NFL betting options available at BetVictor, too, including Race to X Points, the number of touches, the number of field goals, and whether or not overtime will be needed in the match.
