“spread”, “moneyline”, “over/under”
In: 1
The “spread” is how many points one team is favored to win over the other. Then you bet based on whether you think the favored team will win by at least that many points (which is called “covering the spread”). In the website you linked, the Bills are the favored team by about 2-3 points (which is why they have the minus sign in front of their spread).
Over/under is a guess at how many total points will be scored. Do you think it’ll under the specified amount, or over.
Moneyline looks like it’s just odds – you can win more money by betting on the underdog, but they (theoretically) have a lower chance of winning. “-137” means you can bet $137 to win $100. “+137” would mean you can bet $100 to win $137. (In both cases you also get your own money back if you win).
