Biggest betting events in American Football
Undoubtedly, the National Football League (NFL) is the most popular American Football competition. It consists of 32 participating teams from all over the United States, with sixteen in each conference – the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). Each season of the NFL begins with a pre-season in August that lasts for three weeks, followed by the regular season that runs from September to early January, with each team playing 17 games.
The annual final play-off game of the NFL, the Super Bowl, is among the most-watched and betted on single sporting events in the world. Following the conclusion of the regular season and the play-offs, the Super Bowl is held in February every year, where two of the top teams from the AFC and NFC compete for the title.
NCAA college football is the third-most popular sport in the USA. It is organised by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and is divided into three divisions – Division I, Division II, and Division III. An NCAA-sanctioned play-off system determines the champions of each level of play.
Other popular events and tournaments for American Football include:
- Canadian Football League (CFL)
- German Football League (GFL)
- BIG6 European Football League

Most popular bets in American Football
Point Spread
Typically, a spread balances out the best odds between unequal opponents to encourage bets on both sides. To win this bet, your chosen team must cover the spread. Suppose the spread is -25; for this bet to pay out, your team must win by at least by 25 points.
Game Totals
Game totals or Over/Under bets can allow you to predict the number of points scored by both teams combined and whether this final score will go over or under a predetermined mark. For instance, suppose the over/under value is 51.5; the total score of both teams by the end of the match should be at least 52 or over.
Prop Bets
American Football games have the richest tapestry of props or proposition bets available compared to any other sport. These wagers can cover a wide range of subjects. For example, you can predict which team will score the first touchdown, how many yards a selected QB will throw, whether the game’s last score will be a touchdown, etc.
