Football online betting pointspreads are a common way to bet the NFL. The football betting pointspread is referred to as the “line”, “spread” and “the odds.” Football betting pointspreads are pretty easy to understand. For an example of how the pro football betting pointspread works let’s look at a typical line. Let’s say the New England Patriots are hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers. New England is a 7 point football online betting favorite in the game. What this means is that the Patriots had to win the game by more than seven points for a wager on them to payoff in football betting. Pittsburgh, conversely, had to either lose the game by less than seven points or win it in an outright upset for gamblers to get paid in football online betting.
