Once the teams for the NFL’s Super Bowl are decided, the odds you can play with are similar to those you find for regular season games, only with tenfold the number of different betting markets and props to choose from. Until then, however, the most common Super Bowl bet is the outright winner bet.
This is a wager you can place from the ending of the previous year’s big game all the way to the start of this year’s Super Bowl on which team you think will hoist the Lombardi Trophy when all is said and done.
The good thing about outright odds is that they’re always quite high because so much can go wrong or right for any given team in the time between when the wager is made and when the game is played.
At the time of writing, we remain a long way away from the Super Bowl odds being released. The odds are only released when the matchup is set, and they change throughout the week before the Super Bowl as bettor action impacts the odds, and player injuries impact the outcome. Keep an eye on the odds as they change throughout the week to see who professional gamblers, or sharps, are favoring.
The odds are created by oddsmakers, and there are several different types of odds. The most common type of odds you’ll see in Canada is American odds. American odds show bettors how much they’d have to bet to make a $100 profit or how much profit a bet of $100 would make. - shows bettors how much they’d need to bet to make a $100 profit. If something is -200, bettors would need to bet $200 to make a $100 profit. + shows how much profit a $100 bet would make. If something is +200, a $100 bet makes a $200 profit.
The odds could change as we near the big day, so keep your eyes peeled on your favourite operators.

The Super Bowl is a massive global event that sees as much betting action as any single sporting event. Bettors have a huge variety of betting options when it comes to the big game, but for a beginner, the different types of bets can be confusing. For those who don’t know what to bet on the Super Bowl, here’s a breakdown of the different types of bets you can make.
Parlay Betting: Parlay betting is when you combine multiple bets to increase the odds. This means if one of the bets you combined in the parlay misses then the whole bet fails even if all other aspects hit. It is a somewhat riskier type of betting.
|
Moneyline: The Moneyline bet is simple. It is a straight-up bet on who is going to win the game. If your team wins, you make the money, if they lose, you don’t.
Point Spread: The point spread is a bet where you bet on whether a team will win/lose by a specific margin. For example, a team could be favoured at -4. This means they would need to win by five or more points to cover the spread.
Total Points (Over/Under): For this wager, you’re betting whether the two teams will combine to go over or under a total amount of points scored in a game.
Prop Bets: For the Super Bowl prop bets are a huge betting option. Prop bets cover a massive amount of things, like how many yards a certain player will throw for, how many touchdowns a certain player will score, or who will score the first touchdown. There are more props than can be listed out here, and in the Super Bowl, many of them cover non-football related aspects of the game. This can include details of the halftime show, broadcasters’ commentary, and the length of the national anthem, among many other things.
For the best online Super Bowl betting experience, there are certain types of bets beginners should avoid. If you’re a beginner it’s probably best to steer clear of the deeper game props like quarter scoring or player props and focus more on general bets such as the Moneyline, the point total, or the point spread. Beginner NFL bettors will also enjoy putting down a few shekels on some fun Super Bowl prop bets like the length of the anthem or what order the halftime show artists will perform in to give the game an extra little flavor.
Live betting is a feature that can change the way you bet. Live betting is betting on games that are already going. Most sites have a feature for this form of betting, but some don’t, so look into this before depositing if it’s a feature that is important to you.
Live betting features odds that change as the result of what’s currently happening in the game. If one team goes town 14-0 for example, their odds will be worse than they would be before the game started, so bettors could jump on that if they feel a comeback is likely. Live betting is a way to profit off the game while it has already begun, and bettors have more info to work with.
Live betting is shown in the same place as other odds on most sites, with others having a specific live betting section. Ideally, though, live betting is best done through betting apps. This format makes it simpler and more convenient to make bets from anywhere as the games are going on.
The NFL playoffs for the 2024-25 season have yet to be established. We are past the midway point of the season, however, and certain things have already been made clear. Bettors have a solid sense of who the primary contenders are, and what they will be bringing to the table when the playoffs do get underway.
Several contenders who were considered to be favourites have rewarded bettors for their faith to start the year. The Detroit Lions have looked like an unstoppable force on offence, the Kansas City Chiefs rattled off an undefeated start before falling to the Bills, and the Buffalo Bills have surged past most fans’ expectations.
However, other contenders have fallen well short of expectations. The Dallas Cowboys have looked putrid, and now lost quarterback Dak Prescott for the season, the Cincinnati Bengals have dealt with tough loss after tough loss, and the New York Jets are collapsing before fans’ eyes.
With so much of the season still to be played, it is hard to say what comes next. The Super Bowl is still not for some time. But fans are already looking ahead, and the start of the season has surely given us some indication of what is to come.
Detroit Lions: The Detroit Lions haven’t just been beating teams this year, they’ve been steamrolling them. They have an elite offence with playmakers at every position. Quarterback Jared Goff has been very comfortable distributing to Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Sam LaPorta, while Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery make up the best running back tandem in the league. Their defence has held strong this year, though come playoffs, the unit will be tested.
Kansas City Chiefs: The Chiefs haven’t been dominant, but that doesn’t matter. They won nine straight games to start the year, and have won the previous two Super Bowls. Is anyone doubting a team with Patrick Mahomes at quarterback and Andy Reid at head coach? There is no reason to believe this team can’t threepeat, even if their wide receivers are iffy. The defence is super strong, and they have a championship pedigree.
Buffalo Bills: The Bills are the only team to beat Kansas City this year, and they’ll likely need to do it again to finally get their shot at a Super Bowl. Josh Allen has been lights out and is the current favourite for MVP, and he has a talented supporting cast now that Amari Cooper has been added. The defence, despite losing a lot of talent, has been phenomenal. For the Bills, everything will come down to beating their AFC competitors.
Philadelphia Eagles: The Eagles suffered through a collapse last season, and many doubted the ability of coach Nick Siriani to get it done. However, they’ve righted the ship and have one of the best records in the NFL. Quarterback Jalen Hurts has been efficient, and Saquon Barkley has transformed the run game. Most importantly, the defence has turned a corner, with an addition of young talent making them much more reliable.
Baltimore Ravens: The Baltimore Ravens have been somewhat inconsistent this year, with a few tough losses. But when they’re on, there might not be a better team. Lamar Jackson is authoring a better follow-up year to his MVP season and could bring the award back again. Derrick Henry has been everything the team could’ve hoped for and more, and the offence is a buzzsaw. The question remains, can Lamar win in January, and will a frustrating defence be able to hold up against the giants of the AFC?
San Francisco 49ers: Consider this placement by oddsmakers a show of faith in a 49ers team that has consistently performed well in the playoffs the past few years. Right now, the 49ers sit outside of a playoff spot and have looked very disjointed as they navigate injuries. But they are not far out of their division lead, and still have much of the same roster that led them to the brink of a Super Bowl victory last year. They will need to pick up momentum as the season continues.
Early Outright Bets
A nice way to give yourself great odds on a top Super Bowl contender is to make an early outright bet on a couple of your favourites (one from each conference is usually smart) when the odds are usually at their highest even for the top teams due to the uncertainty of the offseason. If you have a feeling about a team and they hit a rough patch during the regular season (like the 49ers this year) putting down on their outright odds to win the Super Bowl at that point (when the odds are likely higher due to poor current form) would be a smart bet as well.
Follow The Line
There are two full weeks between when the Super Bowl participants are decided and when the game is played, so there’s tons of time for the odds and lines to move and shake one way or the other. Historically, most of the line movement happens shortly after the odds are announced and again in the final 24-48 hours before game time. If you’ve got a number on your mind, simply follow the lines closely during those time periods until they hit your number or at least come close.
What’s The Script?
When making several bets on a game, it’s smart to consider what kind of game it’s going to be. What kind of game script are you expecting? If you’re expecting a shootout, a bet on the over for the game’s point total should be supplemented with over bets on player passing touchdowns and receiving and rushing yards. This way, if you’re correct about the type of game it’s going to be, you’re winning big without necessarily betting too big.
Be Safe
The most important strategy is two pronged: don’t over-gamble, and play with a reputable sportsbook. The days and weeks leading up to the Super Bowl are rife with scams and shady businesses shouting from the rooftops, so ensure you’re making your Super Bowl bets with an established, well-known bookmaker. And, more importantly, give yourself a betting budget before the big game so that you can have all the betting fun you can but within your limits.
Bet with your brain, not your heart
When you’re betting, as painful as it can be, don’t be which team you want to win, bet which team you think will win. Be impartial, and bet the team that you truly believe has the best shot.
Look at performance trends
In the Super Bowl, both teams are playing at a high level, so this mostly applies to player props. Look at players’ recent performances, especially in the playoff games. They’ll let you know how those players handle the brighter spotlight and the level they’re currently at.
Matchups are key
Football is a matchup-based game. Take a look at things like teams rushing defence vs the rushing offence they’re playing to find statistics that might lead you to exploitable matchup-based bets.
