Jones has topped 50 yards in just two of six games this season. He's recorded more than nine carries just once, and against a defense allowing just 3.8 yards per carry, he won't get enough touches to hit this Over.

Minnesota may have made a huge mistake letting Sam Darnold walk to make room for J.J. McCarthy. Among 35 quarterbacks with five or more starts this season, McCarthy owns the lowest Total QBR (27), worst completion percentage (53%), the highest interception percentage (6.0%), the worst touchdown-to-interception ratio (6-8), and the second-worst off-target percentage (22%).

The Packers are seemingly losing their best skill position players each week. Tight end Tucker Kraft is already out with a season-ending injury, and now leading rusher Josh Jacobs is dealing with a knee injury.

Jacobs has accounted for 57% of the team’s rushing yards and all but one of the team’s rushing touchdowns. With Green Bay ranking 23rd in Run Block Win Rate, Emanuel Wilson and the fellow backup running backs may not be able to overcome that. 

This is still a Minnesota team that won at Detroit three games ago, while Green Bay has head-scratching losses at Cleveland and at home to Carolina.

It brings me no pleasure to bet on J.J. McCarthy after his brutal showing last week, but the Vikings still nearly won thanks to their playmaking defense. The Packers have a nasty habit of hanging around with lesser competition, which I expect to continue against a familiar foe.

The Colts' white-hot start was watered down in the two weeks before a bye, but Indianapolis should give Kansas City issues after a week off. This is a tough matchup for the Chiefs that has upset alert written all over it.

I'd be inclined to wait until later in the week to see if anyone gets tempted by the Bengals as big 'dogs. It wouldn't be me, though, as I'm too smitten with Drake Maye and Co. against a Cincinnati team that knows its season is effectively over.

I'm awfully surprised to see this line sitting at 3 even with Aaron Rodgers seeming unlikely to play next Sunday at Soldier Field. The Bears aren't perfect, but they're still 7-3 with similar roster talent to the Steelers - this feels like a bargain at home.

The Jets are tied for the second-most touchdowns allowed to tight ends, while Mark Andrews has scored four touchdowns in games with Jackson as the starting quarterback, and his three receiving scores since Week 9 are tied for the most among all tight ends.

I've been buying Ravens stock ever since their 1-5 start, but even this is too rich for me against a frisky Jets team whose eight losses have come by just over eight points per game. I don't think New York wins, but it could offer intrigue into the fourth.

Jared Goff’s 21 passing touchdowns are tied for the second-most in the league. While his Total QBR of 9.0 ranks 29th when under pressure, New York generates sacks and pressure at a below average rate. In addition, Goff has a 30-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio against man coverage since the start of last season, and the Giants deploy man coverage at the league’s highest rate.

The Eagles completely embarrassed what has otherwise been a prolific Lions offense this season. The Giants have a solid pass rush but not much else; expect a motivated Detroit side to take advantage.

Seattle's offense is better than it showed last week against a division rival, but this still feels like a big ask against the Titans, who have hung around against much better teams already.

Tuten has averaged 10.0 touches per game over the last three games, which is a huge increase in usage from his 5.4 touches per game through the first seven.

Tuten is coming off season-highs in snaps, carries, and rushing yards last week, and paid that usage off with a four-yard first quarter touchdown plunge.

The Jaguars improved to 3-0 against a competitive AFC West division and are coming off their biggest win (29 points) since 2017. Meanwhile, the Cardinals are 1-7 in their last eight games after starting 2-0, and just committed 17 penalties in their last game (the team’s most in the Super Bowl era).

Despite all of that, Jacksonville is a 2.5-point road favorite in this game, which has the scent of a very fishy line.

I don't want to overreact to the Jaguars' dismantling of the Chargers last week, though I was already high on Jacksonville before its recent swoon. I expect more of what we saw most recently against the overmatched Cardinals.

If Shedeur Sanders steps anywhere near the field next Sunday, this might be one of my biggest bets of the season. The Raiders are no contender, but they're competent on both sides of the ball, which is too generous to say about the Browns offense right now.

Philadelphia has allowed fewer than 10 points in back-to-back games against NFC contenders (Packers and Lions). But it is also playing with fire, winning six of the eight games in which it has been outgained.

The Eagles are a flawed offensive team. They rank 24th in yards per play (5.1), 25th in yards per game (300.1), tied for 17th in explosive plays (60), and have the league’s worst 3-and-punt rate (31%).

How could you not walk away impressed with what we saw from Philly's defense on Sunday night? The offense has the talent but lacks the rhythm; it shouldn't matter against the Cowboys' porous defense and inconsistent offense.

This market could be in flux this week depending on the status of Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. I'm not sure how much it'll matter with Kirk Cousins stepping in and Bijan Robinson carrying most of the load, anyway. If Atlanta's pass rush can rattle Tyler Shough, that should be enough to win it.

The Rams defense has been on fire this season, ranking second in points per game allowed (17.2), first in Efficiency (72.2), tied for second in takeaways (18), and first in touchdowns allowed (16). Los Angeles is also stingy in the red zone, allowing the second-fewest percentage of touchdowns on opponents’ red zone trips (44%).

Meanwhile, this is a bad matchup for a Tampa Bay defense that has allowed the second-most passing yards per game since Week 6. It also has had difficulty preventing explosive plays, allowing 37 pass plays of at least 20 yards this season (t-29th).

The Buccaneers are allowing 11.6 yards per reception, third-most in the league. Nacua has been targeted at least eight times in all but two games this season. He'll catch plenty of passes for plenty of yards against a defense allowing opponents to complete 65.6% of passes.

The Panthers are averaging just 18.8 points per game, but they rank in the top 10 in time of possession. Three consecutive 49ers' games have featured at least 58 points, but the 49ers' defense is still only allowing 22.9 points per game entering a great matchup.

The Panthers strike when you least expect it, and this seems like a spot for Bryce Young and Co. to carry momentum from last week's OT thriller and challenge one of the legacy contenders in the NFC. I like Carolina to keep it close at the very least.

Free Super Bowl picks

Whether your team’s looking to contend this season or not, we have them covered with live Super Bowl odds and our extensive coverage of the single most popular betting market in the industry. We’re on top of every shift throughout the calendar year and will be providing weekly updates through the season.

Super Bowl odds shift due to team and player performance, injuries, trades, and other news. We’re on top of all of that so you can stay focused on making your best picks and predictions to win the Big Game in February. Don’t just bet the favorites, as we look for value opportunities before teams get hot and rise to the top of the oddsboard.

Super Bowl futures odds for the next season are typically posted during the NFL playoffs and before that season’s champion is crowned. You can bet on which team will win the Super Bowl more than a year in advance of the championship game.

TeamOdds to win Super Bowl (before Week 1)
Kansas City Chiefs+600 (bet $100 to win $600 profit)
San Francisco 49ers+700
Baltimore Ravens+900
Buffalo Bills+1100
Detroit Lions+1400
  • Super Bowl odds are typically moneyline style and reflect implied win probability
  • Favorites to win the Big Game often range from +500 to +800 early in the season
  • Long shots can be +5000 or longer

You can place a variety of bets leading up to and during the Big Game:

  • Futures
    • Pick who will win the Super Bowl
    • Example: Dallas Cowboys to win Super Bowl at +1200
  • Game line
    • Bet on the point spread, moneyline, or Over/Under once the matchup is set
  • Player props
    • Patrick Mahomes Over/Under 2.5 touchdown passes
    • Travis Kelce anytime touchdown scorer (+110)

We advise entering the season with a couple of Super Bowl long-shot picks in your pocket. Wait for the best buy-point on the favorite(s) of your choice. You’ll be better off betting these teams following a loss than amid a winning streak. When expectations drop, that’s often the best time to find longer odds.

Once the Super Bowl comes around, treat it as any other game.

Super Bowl novelty props

Super Bowl novelty props are fun, entertainment-style wagers unique to the Super Bowl. These bet types are random, almost completely unpredictable, and may literally come down to a 50/50 coin flip. These wagers should be made with reduced investments solely for fun.

Popular novelty props:

  • Coin toss: Heads or Tails (usually -105 or -110 so that the sportsbooks take their cut, or vig)
  • Length of national anthem: Over/Under (i.e., 1 minute, 59 seconds)
  • Gatorade color poured on winning coach: Orange, Blue, Clear, etc.
  • Halftime show props: First song performed, surprise guest appearances
  • MVP speech: Will the MVP mention "teammates" or "God" first?

Some sportsbooks even offer live betting on commercials, celebrities in attendance, or camera shots during the game.

Free NFL moneyline picks

A moneyline pick is simply wagering on who will win a game - no point spreads involved. Odds show favorites with a minus (‑) and underdogs with a plus (+). Either team needs to just win by any margin to cash bets on their side.

Imagine the Bills are favorites and the Jets are underdogs:

TeamMoneyline odds
Bills–250
Jets+400
  • $100 on Bills (‑250) → Profit = $100 × (100 / 250) = $40 (total payout $140)
  • $100 on Jets (+400) → Profit = $100 × 4 = $400 (total payout $500)

Free NFL Over/Under picks

Over/Under betting doesn’t care who wins the game, just how many points are scored.

  • Book sets a line → i.e., Over/Under 54.5
  • You choose:
    • Over 54.5
    • Under 54.5
  • Odds are usually around –110, meaning you bet $110 to win $100 (and your $110 stake returns $210 total)
  • If the final score is:
    • 48–22 (total 70) → Over wins
    • 24–23 (total 47) → Under wins
  • Pushes are avoided thanks to the half-point; i.e., 54.5 guarantees Over or Under wins
    • If the total is set at 54 and that’s the exact final score, all bets on either side will be refunded (voided) as a tie
  • You can also bet on the point total in each half or quarter, or for each team

Free NFL spread picks

Our expert picks typically focus on picks against the spread as one of the most popular NFL picks. Spreads handicap matchups by setting a number teams need to cover via winning by more than that amount or losing by less than that amount.

  • The favorite is shown with a minus (–) and must win by more than the spread to cover
  • The underdog has a plus (+) and must either win outright or lose by fewer points than the spread
  • Spreads often include a .5 (i.e., 3.5) to avoid a tie or “push.” If the final margin equals the exact spread, bets are refunded as a tie
  • Key numbers such as 3, 7, and 10 are considered to represent the best bets as they represent scoring increments and you can bet on teams to win by or less than those common numbers

Free NFL prop picks

NFL player props offer the best chance to bet on your favorite (or most disliked) players. It’s also the place bettors look to attack narratives and news, and our NFL prop betting sites are generally slower to adjust these lines and odds than they are to move the game lines. Looking to back a player in a revenge game against his former team, or think your team’s WR2 will have a big day with the WR1 nursing an injury during practice? Then NFL props are for you. Rush out to these markets at your favorite sportsbook(s) whenever you see a trusted report or breaking news. We’ll also have your back by tracking that info with our NFL picks.

Betting lines are often in the form of Over/Unders for a set line of yards, pass competitions or attempts, touchdowns, or receptions/rushing attempts. Other prop bets are Yes/No bets, or just Yes bets, such as anytime touchdown scorer predictions.

Alternate lines offer the opportunity to get higher or lower odds when you’re more or less confident in the standard prop bet line. Are you convinced Patrick Mahomes will go Over his standard passing yards line of 257.5? Try betting Mahomes to finish with 280+ passing yards. Not comfortable betting Josh Allen’s Under on a line of 285.5 yards? Bet Allen to finish with 220+ passing yards, or the Under on an alternate line of 275.5 in a difficult matchup.

These alternate lines with shorter odds can be added to parlays and SGPs to boost the overall payout while maintaining a high probability of each leg hitting.

Anytime touchdown scorer props, and related markets such as first touchdown scorer, last touchdown scorer, and multiple touchdown scorer props, are among the most popular of all NFL prop picks. These can provide instant gratification with quick payouts, or offer a full-game sweat. It’s also abundantly clear when you’ve won the bet while watching the game, and you can get score notifications to your mobile device if you’re not watching RedZone.

NFL props extend beyond player props. Here are a couple examples of widely-available team and game props for every game.

Team props:

  • Eagles Over 2.5 total touchdowns (+105)
  • Jets first team to score (-110)

Game/event props:

  • Opening kickoff to be a touchback (-125)
  • Any player to score a defensive touchdown (+900)
  • Will there be a safety? Yes +750

NFL live betting

While our NFL picks coverage concludes at kickoff, live betting has become increasingly popular for fans and sportsbooks. Be sure to follow our experts on X as they offer up additional advice on the biggest games while watching along with you.

NFL live betting (also called in-game betting) lets you place wagers after the game has started, with odds that change in real time based on the game’s progress.

This allows you to react to the action and potentially find better value than pregame lines. Live betting largely negates the sportsbooks’ inherent advantage over bettors, as oddsmakers at our best live betting sites and viewers are reacting in real time to the events of any game.

Sportsbooks update spreads, totals, moneylines, and props throughout the game based on:

  • Score
  • Possession
  • Injuries
  • Time remaining
  • Player performance

Popular NFL live betting options

  • Live spread
    • Example: Chiefs -2.5 vs. Bills (after falling behind 10–0)
    • Odds might now favor the underdog if momentum shifts
  • Live total (Over/Under)
    • If the game starts slow, the total might drop from 48.5 to 42.5
    • You can bet the Over if you expect more scoring in the second half
  • Live moneyline
    • Odds on the trailing team lengthen the longer they’re behind
    • Example: Bet +250 on the Bengals to come back from a 14–3 deficit when they were +105 on the pregame moneyline
  • Next play / drive props
    • Will the next play be a run or pass?
    • Will the next drive end in a touchdown?
    • Who’ll score the next touchdown?

Strategy tips

  • Watch momentum: Injury, weather, or defensive adjustments can shift game flow
  • Shop around: Different sportsbooks may offer very different live lines depending on how their oddsmakers are reacting to the game, and where they faced a higher liability based on the pregame handle
  • Use delays wisely: Streaming delays can hurt - bet early or during timeouts if possible
  • Bet with context: Don’t chase value without understanding the matchup

How we make our NFL picks & predictions

Our No. 1 focus at Sportsbook Review is always on price shopping and finding you the best betting line and odds for each pick from our best NFL betting sites. Why should you pay more (bet shorter odds) when you can fetch a greater profit at a different sportsbook, all while needing the exact same outcome on your bet?

This is the most important part of the process for any NFL game picks, player props, and futures bets. To be a winning bettor over the long term, you simply can’t be leaving money on the table by betting shorter odds when better numbers are out there.

However, this step typically follows our experts' analysis of matchups using advanced statistics, as well as player and team performance, to determine their best bets in any given betting market. Following along with snap counts, red-zone usage, targets, and more is essential to successful NFL player prop betting. Certain matchups favor running backs over wide receivers, or slot receivers over wideouts, and we always look to who’s best equipped for success in those matchups when starting our game picks and player props.

We caution against putting too much emphasis on injuries, weather, or any narrative or news-based factor. The sportsbooks are almost always ahead of this when it comes to setting and adjusting their lines. Bettors don’t have an edge just because Patrick Mahomes won’t be playing against the Broncos on Sunday. That’s already been baked into the lines. To help with that, we look at the opening lines each week for the following week’s slate of games, and we track that movement multiple times after the lines open on the previous Wednesday. This can help you get closing line value (CLV) if the line moves too far in either direction from what oddsmakers initially made it. These early lines can help protect you from overreacting to any single wins or losses. Trust the oddsmakers.

It’s important to balance betting on favorites, underdogs, and long shots. Favorites come with shorter odds for a reason, but they don’t always win. It’s equally important to know that longer odds represent a lower probability of a winning bet. Keep a level head when assessing the weekly lines and remove personal bias from your handicapping. The general public often overreacts to any sort of injury or weather implications. Know when to be conservative and when to bet an Under or the underdog on an inflated total or spread.

Diversify your betting portfolio, manage your bankroll, and track your results.

Why trust our experts?

Sportsbook Review has been around for more than 20 years, and is a trusted source of betting picks as well as honest reviews of our best sports betting sites.

We carefully match our betting experts to the sports and topics they’re most passionate about to recommend picks they’re betting themselves. Our 1-to-5-star confidence rating is based on the matchup, their research, and the implied probability of the odds. It’s rare to see a 5-star pick on touchdown predictions, as well as futures bets, due to the inherent nature of those betting markets and the lower implied probability of the longer odds.

You’ll see many of our NFL betting experts covering the same teams or offering picks on the same markets each week as they focus on their specialties to offer trusted advice.
