Reading an NFL Point Spread From Start to Finish

An NFL point spread sets a margin of victory the favorite must cover for a spread bet to cash. If the Kansas City Chiefs open at -6.5 against the Las Vegas Raiders, Kansas City needs to win by seven or more. The Raiders, listed at +6.5, can lose by up to six and still cover. Our sportsbook shows the spread, the juice

— typically listed at -110 on each side — and any line movement in real time. Sharp money hitting one side shifts the number, sometimes by a full point or more before kickoff. Watching that movement tells you where the market is leaning without you having to guess.

NFL Point Spread Glossary

01
What does ATS mean in NFL betting?

ATS stands for against the spread. A team's ATS record tracks how often they cover the posted spread, which is separate from their straight win-loss record in the standings.

02
What is the juice or vig on a spread bet?

Juice — also called vig — is the sportsbook's commission on a spread wager. Most NFL spreads are priced at -110, meaning you risk $110 to profit $100 on a winning bet.

03
What is a push in point spread betting?

A push happens when the final margin equals the spread exactly. Your wager is refunded in full. Half-point spreads like -6.5 are set specifically to eliminate the possibility of a push.

04
What does covering the spread mean?

Covering means the team you backed performed as required by the spread. A -7 favorite covers by winning by eight or more. A +7 underdog covers by losing by fewer than seven or winning outright.

05
What is line movement on an NFL spread?

Line movement refers to changes in the posted spread after the opening number. Heavy betting volume on one side, injury news or weather updates are the most common drivers of spread movement.

06
What is a key number in NFL spreads?

Key numbers are the margins NFL games land on most often — three and seven are the most common. Spreads near these numbers carry extra significance because a single score can determine whether a bet covers.

Your NFL Point Spread Questions Answered

Open your account, head to the NFL section of our sportsbook, tap the spread number next to the team you want, and it drops into your bet slip. Enter the amount, confirm, and the wager is live.

Yes. Our same-game parlay builder lets you pair the spread with props like passing yards or rushing touchdowns. The combined odds and potential payout display before you confirm the ticket.

We post in-game spread markets on eligible NFL games. Lines shift with scoring and field position in real time, so you can find a number that fits the game flow if the pre-game spread passed.

If an NFL game is officially postponed before kickoff, spread wagers are voided and the stake is returned to your account wallet. Rescheduled games typically get a fresh line when the new date is confirmed.

A moneyline bet pays on which team wins outright regardless of margin. A spread bet adds a handicap — the favorite gives points, the underdog gets them — so the margin of victory is what decides the outcome.

Availability depends on your state's sports betting law. We verify your location at account creation and only display NFL spread markets in states where we are permitted to operate.
