LowVig.ag leads with 3.07% vig (B+), followed by Pinnacle at 3.37%.
NFL betting stands apart from other major sports due to its limited schedule and the outsized impact each game carries. With only 18 weeks of regular-season action and single-elimination playoffs, every matchup draws enormous public interest and betting volume. The sport's scoring structure — touchdowns worth six or seven points, field goals worth three — creates natural clustering around key numbers like 3 and 7 in point spreads, making line shopping on those margins particularly valuable. The market depth is unmatched in American sports betting: sides, totals, player props, team props, quarter and half lines, and an ever-expanding universe of same-game parlays all compete for attention.
Vig on NFL sides and totals tends to be among the tightest in sports betting, precisely because the volume is so high and competition among sportsbooks is fierce. Standard juice on a spread or total typically sits around -110/-110 at most major books, but reduced-juice operators can push that closer to -105 or even -102 on select lines. That difference matters enormously over a full season. On less liquid markets — alternate spreads, niche props, and early-week lines — margins widen considerably, so bettors benefit from comparing prices across books rather than accepting the first number they see.
The NFL regular season runs from early September through early January, with playoffs extending into February. Odds tend to be sharpest — and vig most competitive — closer to kickoff, particularly on marquee Sunday and Monday night games where books are battling hardest for handle. Early-week lines, posted as soon as Sunday night, often carry softer numbers and wider margins as books manage risk with limited injury information. Speaking of which, injury reports are arguably the single most impactful variable in NFL odds movement, especially at quarterback. Weather conditions in outdoor stadiums during late-season games can dramatically shift totals, and home-field advantage, while diminished compared to a decade ago, still factors into line-setting — particularly in hostile environments like Kansas City, Seattle, and Green Bay in January.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which sportsbook has the lowest vig for NFL?
LowVig.ag currently has the lowest average vig for NFL at 3.07%, earning a grade of B+.
How do sportsbook odds compare for NFL?
We compare 20 sportsbooks for NFL. The vig ranges from 3.07% (LowVig.ag) to 5.66% (Fliff).
Why is NFL vig typically lower than other sports?
NFL games attract massive betting volume, which forces sportsbooks to compete on price. Higher liquidity lets books operate on thinner margins. The result is that NFL moneylines, spreads, and totals usually carry some of the lowest vig in all of sports betting.
What markets are available for NFL betting?
We track three core NFL markets: moneyline (who wins), point spreads (margin of victory), and totals (over/under combined points). Each market has its own vig profile — spreads tend to have the tightest lines because they see the highest volume.
When does NFL season start and end?
The NFL regular season runs from early September through mid-January, with playoffs extending through the Super Bowl in February. Preseason odds typically appear in August. During the off-season (March–August), sportsbooks may post futures but per-game lines are unavailable.
How do NFL spreads affect vig?
NFL point spreads are the most heavily bet market in American sports. This intense competition among both bettors and sportsbooks drives spreads to their most efficient prices. You'll often see NFL spreads at -110/-110 or better at sharp books, translating to vig under 5%.
Does vig change closer to NFL game time?
Yes. Early-week NFL lines often carry higher vig as books manage exposure with limited information. As kickoff approaches and sharp money flows in, lines tighten and vig tends to decrease. Betting closer to game time often means better prices, especially at sharp-friendly books.
What is vig (vigorish) in sports betting?
Vig — short for vigorish, also called juice or overround — is the margin a sportsbook builds into its odds. It's the difference between the true probability of an outcome and what the odds imply. Lower vig means you keep more of your winnings on every bet. For example, a standard -110/-110 line has about 4.76% vig.
How often is this data updated?
We pull fresh odds from The Odds API every hour, on the hour (UTC). Each snapshot captures the latest lines from every sportsbook that has posted odds. The timestamp at the top of the page shows the most recent refresh.
How is the vig grade calculated?
Each sportsbook is graded on average vig: A+ (under 2%) is exchange-level pricing, A (2–3%) very competitive, B+ (3–4%) above average, B (4–5%) the industry standard, C+ (5–6%) slightly below average, C (6–7%) below average, D (7–8%) high vig, D− (8–10%) very high, F (10%+) predatory.
How We Calculate These Numbers
- Data Source
- All odds on this page come from The Odds API, which aggregates real-time lines from licensed US and offshore sportsbooks. We track moneyline, spread, and totals markets across every sport with active betting lines.
- Update Frequency
- We pull a fresh snapshot of every tracked market every hour, on the hour (UTC). Each snapshot captures the latest lines from every sportsbook that has posted odds for a given event. The timestamp at the top of each page tells you exactly when the data was last refreshed.
- Vig Calculation
- Vig (short for vigorish, also called juice or overround) measures the margin a sportsbook builds into its odds. We calculate it by converting the odds on each side of a market to implied probabilities, summing those probabilities, and subtracting 100%. For example, a market priced at -110/-110 implies 52.38% on each side — a total of 104.76%, meaning a vig of 4.76%. Lower vig means better value for bettors because you keep more of your winnings.
- Per-Market Breakdown
- We compute vig separately for each market type: moneyline (h2h), point spreads, and totals (over/under). The "average vig" shown for each sportsbook is the mean across all market types weighted by the number of events sampled in each market.
- Grading Scale
- Every sportsbook receives a letter grade based on its average vig: A+ (under 2%) is exchange-level pricing. A (2–3%) is very competitive. B+ (3–4%) is above average. B (4–5%) is the industry standard — a -110/-110 line is 4.76%. C+ (5–6%) is slightly below average. C (6–7%) is below average. D (7–8%) is high vig. D− (8–10%) is very high vig. F (10%+) is predatory pricing. See the full Vig Index Methodology for formulas, worked examples, and known limitations.
- Trend Tracking
- We store daily snapshots for 30 days, allowing us to show 24-hour and 7-day vig trends. A downward trend (improving) means sportsbooks are tightening their lines — often in response to increased competition or higher betting volume as a season heats up.
