The NFL regular season runs from early September through mid-January, with 18 weeks of games typically kicking off the Thursday after Labor Day. The playoffs span from Wild Card Weekend in mid-January through the Super Bowl in early to mid-February. However, NFL futures markets never truly close. Super Bowl odds for the following season often appear within hours of the championship game's final whistle, and sportsbooks post initial win totals and division odds by late February or early March — right as the league year opens and free agency begins. Preseason games in August offer the first on-field data points, but the sharpest bettors have already been active for months by then.
Off-season betting in the NFL is uniquely rich compared to other sports. Futures markets include Super Bowl champion, conference winners, division winners, exact win totals (with over/under options), regular-season MVP, Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year, and individual player props like passing yard leaders. The NFL Draft in late April generates its own prop ecosystem — first overall pick, draft position ranges for specific prospects, how many quarterbacks will be selected in the first round, and even the over/under on trades during the draft. Free agency signings and blockbuster trades create immediate, trackable line movement. When a franchise quarterback like a Davante Adams or Stefon Diggs changes teams, win totals and divisional odds can shift by multiple points within hours.
Vig patterns in NFL markets follow a distinct seasonal rhythm. Early futures posted in February and March tend to carry higher margins — often 15-25% on Super Bowl outrights — because books are managing uncertainty and low volume. As the off-season progresses through OTAs, training camp, and preseason, margins gradually compress as sharps and public money shape the market. The best value windows for futures typically land immediately after major roster-altering events — a surprise coaching hire, a significant free-agent signing, or a draft-night trade — before books fully adjust. Game lines during the regular season carry standard vig around 4.5%, but playoff spreads and totals often see tighter margins due to massive two-way action, making January some of the most efficiently priced weeks on the NFL calendar.

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 three times per day — at 6:00 AM, 2:00 PM, and 10:00 PM 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 exceptional and rare — these are typically sharp-friendly books. A (2–3%) is excellent. B+ (3–4%) is above average. B (4–5%) is the industry standard for most recreational sportsbooks. C (5–6%) is below average. D (above 6%) indicates high-juice markets where bettors face a steep cost per wager.
- 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.
