Some of the most popular competitions include NFL, NFL Player Specials.

From Super Bowl winners to touchdown scorers, MVPs to total points — if you have a hunch, you can back it with our American football odds.

NFL Betting

The 32 teams of National Football League (NFL) represent the highest level of American football in the United States and are split into the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). Each of those is then divided into: North division, South division, East division and West division.

After the regular season, 14 teams will qualify for the play-offs which culminate in the AFC and NFC Championship Games. The winners of these games will then contest the Super Bowl.

You can bet on the action with the latest NFL betting markets at Paddy Power, from the first kick-off of the season in September to the crowning of the Super Bowl champions in February.

Super Bowl Betting and Odds

The Super Bowl is the marquee event on the American football calendar and a day when the United States comes to a standstill as over 120 million people watch the big game. During this event, two teams will go head-to-head in a bid to win the Vince Lombardi Trophy—the most coveted prize in American football.

At Paddy Power, you can bet on the Super Bowl and discover more than just picking a winner. For example, you can bet on potential Super Bowl finalists, predict the exact score, or dive into the match markets and forecast which player will be the first to score a touchdown in the big game.

How do American football odds work?

American football odds work in much the same way as odds for other sports. In other words, NFL odds represent the likelihood of an outcome, whether it’s a team winning a match, a player scoring a touchdown, or the total points scored in a game.

Lower odds indicate a higher probability of an outcome, meaning the event is more likely to happen; higher odds suggest a lower probability but offer a larger potential return on your bet.
