4. Over/Unders

4. Over/Unders (Totals) In addition to setting a line for the favorite and the underdog, oddsmakers will also set a total number of points scored in a game by both teams combined. This is called the total or over/under. Bettors can then wager on whether or not the game will go over or under the total. You're not trying to guess the exact score (though that bet is available, too). Eagles-Lions has a total of 46 — about average for an NFL game. • If you bet the over, you need 47+ points • If you bet the under, you need 45 points or fewer • If it lands on 46 exactly, it's a push and bets are refunded Over/unders can be impacted by factors like the elements as well. Be sure to check out our NFL weather page for the latest updates on the forecast of the game(s) you're following. The over/under concept is applied to many different kinds of bets. • Tom Brady over or under 295.5 passing yards • LeBron James over 7.5 assists • Yankees over 93.5 wins
