How to Bet on the The Big Game

Placing a bet follows the same process for most sports. You make a prediction about what you think will happen during a game or event, and then you select that option in the markets and add it to your betting slip. At BetUK, you can do this at the click of a button, and can combine different bets in some instances to create an accumulator if you wish. In order to make sure you’re betting on the right thing, however, it’s important to understand the different betting markets available for the NFL, and for this final playoff game specifically.

The Big Game Betting Markets

The available markets are generally very similar to those available for regular season NFL games, in that you can select who you think will win, how many points will be scored, what the margin of victory will be, and how individual players will perform. That said, the NFL championship game also offers some unique betting options and more intricate markets, given its global popularity.

The Big Game Moneyline Betting

The moneyline refers specifically to the winner betting market, and refers to the odds for each team to come out victorious, with one team often being a favourite to win. In US sports such as American Football, games are generally designed to avoid ties, making the moneyline a simple betting option. The moneyline is reactive, meaning the odds can fluctuate in the buildup to the game, based on new information or betting patterns forming. So, if you think Team A will beat Team B, it’s worth keeping an eye out to see if the value of that bet increases or decreases.

The Big Game Spread Betting

Spread betting is a name for the handicap on points between two teams in NFL games and other US sports, with the figure represented as a minus for the favourites, and a plus for the underdogs. In regular season games, this figure can be quite large, as the comparative scale between two teams may be significant, if the top performers in the league take on the strugglers, for example. However, in The Big Game, this margin will usually be a lot smaller, as the two teams will be closely matched, given that they both will have one their respective Conference.

The Big Game Over/Under Betting

The over/under market covers the total points scored either in the game overall, or by an individual team. The odds are set based on the most likely outcome for the game in the eyes of the bookmakers, with better odds available the further away from that baseline you get. Predictions are made on whether or not a team or teams will exceed or fall short of a proposed figure, for example, a bet on ‘total game points over 49.5’ would require at least 50 points being score combined to pay out.

The Big Game Prop Bets

Prop bets are any markets that sit outside of the game bets covered by moneyline, spread, and over/under. They are usually split up into team prop bets and player prop bets, although there are also novelty markets that relate to events outside of the game statistics. Number of touchdowns, rushing yards, passing yards, and receiving yards are some of the most common prop bets, although you can also bet on The Big Game MVP, who will score the most points from kicking, and even who will win the coin toss at the start of the game.

The Big Game Novelty Bets

Novelties are another form of prop betting for the NFL final, and sit outside of the usual game metrics. Some of the most popular include betting on the length of the halftime show, the length of the pre-game singing of the national anthem, and the colour of the gatorade used to shower the winning coach.
