NFL future bets at BookMaker are very popular and they can be very profitable. Picking the right team to win the Super Bowl is great, but there is so much more to betting NFL futures at the sportsbook. You will see the normal Super Bowl future odds, such as betting on a team to win the Super Bowl, conference championship and division. There is so much more to NFL futures than just those options. You can bet NFL futures on season win totals, and you can also bet on things like who will win Offensive Rookie of the Year, Coach of the Year, Passing leader, etc., etc. Oftentimes it is these other NFL future bets that are the most profitable, because they are a little bit off the radar.
NFL Super Bowl Odds
We’ll start by looking at the most well-known NFL futures bet and that is the Super Bowl future. You are simply betting on a team to win the Super Bowl, either before the season or during the season. You might have the Kansas City Chiefs at odds of 6-1 to win the Super Bowl and you might see the Detroit Lions listed at 100-1. There will be Super Bowl odds on all NFL teams before the season begins and those odds will be updated every week throughout the season. Let’s look at a simple example. Let’s say you like the Chiefs at odds of 6-1. You would wager any amount you choose and get 6-1 back on your wager if the Chiefs win the Super Bowl. Let’s say you put up $100 on the Chiefs. If they win the Super Bowl, you get your $100 back and you win $600.
NFL Conference and Division Odds
You can also bet on who you think will win the AFC and NFC Conferences and you can bet on who you think will win each of the NFL divisions. The AFC and NFC Conference odds will usually be updated throughout the season, but the NFL division odds are sometimes taken down during the season. Conference and division odds are bet just as NFL Super Bowl odds. For example, the Chiefs might be listed at odds of 3-1 to win the AFC so you would be betting $100 and winning $300 if the Chiefs won the AFC Championship. You could bet any amount you choose with the same 3-1 return.
NFL Regular Season Win Totals
Not to be left out of the main discussion of NFL futures is season win totals. You will see a total set for every NFL team before the NFL season begins. You can bet over or under the win total set by the online sportsbook. For example, you might see the win total for the Buffalo Bills set at 11. You can bet over or under that number. In this case you wager the normal 11-10 on the season win total. For example, you wager the Bills to go under 11 wins and risk $110 to win $100 or the 11-10 equivalent. Keep in mind that these NFL season win totals are set before the season begins and taken down when the NFL regular season begins.
NFL Season Awards
Before the regular season begins you can also bet on things like NFL MVP, Offensive Rookie of the Year, Defensive Rookie of the Year, passing leader, rushing leader, etc., etc. You might even find specific NFL future odds on how many yards a quarterback will throw for, rush for, etc. Oftentimes you can get the best value when you bet these NFL season awards. For example, if a rookie who is somewhat under the radar wins the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year you may be able to get him at odds of 20-1 or more before the season begins. You might even find some players who are realistic longshots with odds of 50-1 or more.
NFL Futures Betting
For some gamblers, the advantage to betting NFL futures is that you place just one bet and have action the whole season. That is a big advantage to betting NFL futures. You can place a bet on a team like the Dallas Cowboys and be rooting for them all season with the price of just one bet. If you bet their season win total, you bet them to go over the total and you root for the Cowboys to win every week and you placed just one wager and you are in action all year.
And don’t forget that you can also get some value on NFL futures during the season. For example, let’s say those Cowboys we talked about earlier had NFL Super Bowl odds of 12-1. The Cowboys get off to an 0-2 start this season and now the NFL Super Bowl odds on Dallas are 25-1. You have a really good value bet on the Cowboys if you think they are a potential Super Bowl team. Betting NFL futures during the season can be some of the best value bets if you pick the right team.
