AMERICAN FOOTBALL (NFL) BETTING

Sportingbet gives you the chance to make your football sporting predictions for the most popular sport in the United States – American football. Although it is played in other countries, American football remains most popular in its country of origin, with the National Football League (the most popular American football league) boasting the highest average attendance of any professional sports’ league worldwide.

The NFL consists of the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). Each conference has 16 teams in the United States, four in each division - north, south, east, west). The top 6 teams from both conferences will play each other, and the last undefeated team in each conference plays in the championship game – the Super Bowl – in February.

On Sportingbet, you can make American football betting predictions across a number of long-term markets. These include the outright NFL winner (a money line bet) - with our early Super Bowl odds – as well as predicting the winner of the AFC and NFC conferences. In addition to the long-term bets, there are a number of exciting betting types to choose from, including:

• Who will be named the Most Valuable Player?

• Which will the highest scoring quarter?

• Who will be the first touchdown scorer of the game?

• What will the total combined points be?

• What will the number of season wins be for a team?

• Who will win the Super Bowl coin toss?

The American football game is 60 minutes, but because of the play stoppages, the average NFL game lasts slightly over three hours. And, as can be expected from an American-based sport, there is a lot of drama and entertainment to be had with every game – tactics, star players and plenty of promotions.
