Point
Spread
|
The betting odds for the specified game. These can
fluctuate before a game is played, but they are locked down at kickoff.
The point spread is expressed as a negative number indicating the number
of points by which the favored team is expected to win. The favorite is
shown in parentheses. For example, "-6.5 (SF)" means that San
Francisco is favored by 6.5 points. For a bet placed on San Francisco to
win, the 49ers must win by 7 or more points.
|
Over/Under
|
The
over/under betting line: the predicted number of total points scored by
both teams. A bettor who bets the "over" wins their bet only if
the total of points scored exceeds this number. A bet on the
"under" only wins if the point total is lower than this value.
