Super Bowl LV Spreads
CanPlay Sports from Canplay Casino has updated Superbowl LV spreads.
The two week period after the divisional champions are crowned is often interesting when watching the spread. It is not unusual to see the favourites become the underdogs fairly quickly. This is the one game that many non-regular bettors place their annual bets (and the Kentucky Derby).
As a result, betting behaviour is different if there are certain teams that the general team favours despite form, the spreads can change reflecting the amount staked by the public.
Football Spreads Explained
For those unfamiliar with NFL spreads here is a brief overview.
- The favorites have points taken away from their final total so -2.5
- The underdogs have points added to the total so +2.5
- The odds for the favourite is “-“, so for example odds of -110 mean that you need to place $110 to win $100.
- the odds for the underdog is “+”, so for example, odds of +110 means that you win $110 when you bet $100.
Football Betting Spreads Make Games More Interesting
Because each team has to beat the spread it gives the viewer a different dynamic. For instance, if you bet on the underdog and they are trailing the favourites, they still may be only one score behind the spread. As a result, you could still win your bet even though the team loses.
On the flip side, the favourite could win the game but lose against the spread. However, your odds are greater if you bet on the favourite to beat the spread rather than the game.
