After walking through how to get started betting on NFL games via the spread and props, and even how to link those picks together in a parlay, now we can examine lines and better understand over/unders.
This is your guide to understanding over/unders and how to take advantage of them for the 2025 NFL season.

What Are Overs and Unders?
Overs and unders refer to markets with a single set line, where bettors pick between two possible outcomes. They are often seen in game totals, player props and futures, such as team win totals.
In short, oddsmakers set a line and bettors predict whether the real outcome will end up over or under that projection.
Game Totals
Game totals tend to be one of the most common places to see over/under lines.
Here, we have a game total for the opening matchup of the NFL season between the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles.
Oddsmakers have set the line for the “total” or combined points scored in the game by both teams at 46.5 points.
Bettors can pick one of two outcomes:
- Total score reaches 47 or more points (Over)
- Total score reaches 46 or fewer points (Under)
Player Props & Futures
Another common place we see totals used is in player props and futures bets. Oddsmakers set a line measuring how a player will perform in a given game or the season, and bettors predict whether they will exceed that expectation or fall short of it.
Here, we have a futures line for Jalen Hurts’ passing-yardage total during the regular season.
With the line set at 3,200.5 passing yards, bettors can predict whether Hurts throws for more or less than the set number by the time the season ends.
Understanding odds and value
While oddsmakers’ goals for setting these lines are to create equal action on both sides of the line, that isn’t always the final result.
Sometimes, we see disparity between the odds offered on each side — oftentimes with player-focused markets, where the odds for one side project differently than the other.
Unlike the odds in the previous examples, where both options were equal at -110, we see here that the line for Dak Prescott’s regular-season passing-yardage total is set at 3850.5 yards with different odds offered on each side.
With the odds for the over set at even money (+100) and the under set at -120, oddsmakers see a higher probability of Prescott going under the line.
This can be due to several factors, including a slightly higher probability of said outcome or a correlation to the amount of money being placed on one side compared to the other.
In this case, if you were to bet on Prescott with a $100 budget:
- At over 3,850.5 yards (+100), a $100 bet would win $100
- At under 3,850.5 yards (-120), a $100 bet would win $83.33

Slavia plánuje na Šeberově v rámci akademie vytvořit centrum sportu i volného času
Možnost výstavby centra tento týden znovu projednali zastupitelé městské části Praha-Šeberov, která má již od roku 2022 se Slavií podepsané Memorandum o spolupráci. Tehdy počítali sešívaní s přípravou osmi hřišť a s benefity, které odpovídaly možnostem tehdejšího akcionáře klubu. Když však vstoupil do Slavie nový majitel Pavel Tykač, ambice se změnily nejen na hřišti, ale dle zdrojů redakce i u tohoto projektu.Do Šeberova by se mohlo kromě mládežnických týmů kluků a dívek přesunout pro trénink i ligové áčko, béčko a ženský celek. „V průběhu posledních let jsme navštívili bezpočet tréninkových center a sportovních komplexů po celé Evropě. Sdílení tréninkového centra mládeží společně s jejich dospělými vzory je osvědčeným modelem, který má pro výchovu nových generací talentů jen pozitivní efekty,“ podotkl na dotaz Sport.cz první místopředseda slávistického představenstva Martin Říha.Tato úprava se řešila i na posledním zastupitelstvu.

Shohei Ohtani ‘Feeling Good’ After Pitching, Could Return to Mound This Weekend
<!--> Shohei Ohtani came out of his pitching debut for the Los Angeles Dodgers in good order, even if he was his own worst critic. The two-way superstar from Japan gave up a run and a pair of two-strike hits in one inning of work Monday night against San Diego as he returned from right elbow surgery. It was his first outing since August 2023 with the Los Angeles Angels.At the plate, the two-way star had two hits and two RBIs in the Dodgers' 6-3 win, including Los Angeles' first run of the game. "I think he's just a little fatigued but feels good," manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday.Ohtani was in his usual leadoff spot as the designated hitter Tuesday night against the Padres. He'll likely throw a light bullpen in the next few days.Roberts indicated Ohtani could pitch Saturday […]
Tenistka Vekičová nadchla fanoušky odvážným focením pro lifestylový časopis
„Motivace je pomíjivá, ale nejdůležitější je disciplína,“ tvrdila osmadvacetiletá rodačka z Osijeku pro letní vydání Elle.Vekičová loni prožila senzační léto. Kromě semifinále v All England Clubu dokráčela jako první Chorvatka do olympijského finále v singlu. V boji o zlato se musela sklonit před Číňankou Čeng Čchin-wen.Fantastické cestě Wimbledonem a o pár týdnů později zisku stříbra v Paříži přitom nic nenasvědčovalo. „Chtěla jsem odstoupit z French Open. Chtěla jsem jet domů a dát si dlouhou pauzu. Neměla jsem žádnou energii. Žádnou motivaci, abych dál trénovala. Poslední měsíce byly strašné, protože jsem tenisu dávala všechno – a výsledky nebyly takové, jaké jsem očekávala,“ přiznala tehdy Vekičová.Letos ovšem aktuální světová dvaadvacítka vyhrála pouze osm utkání, a pokud se jí nepodaří na blížícím se Wimbledonu obhájit 720 bodů z loňska, v žebříčku se propadne zhruba ke 40. příčce.
