NFL bets can actually be made all year long. Pro football is the most popular sport to wager on and that includes the choice to bet futures. Let’s take a look at NFL betting futures. NFL bets in regards to futures are the most popular on the Super Bowl. The most common way to make NFL bets is to go with the two teams that made the Super Bow in the previous season. What you have to understand when you make NFL bets on futures, as well as sides and totals, is that last year is just that; last year. If a team made the Super Bowl in the previous season, that in no way assures them a berth in the game this year.
