Money Line Bets
Money Line bets are about as simple as it gets when it comes to NFL betting; a money line bet is just picking which team will win and which team will lose. Because the game isn’t usually seen as even, you generally get a bigger payoff if you bet on an underdog that wins and a smaller payoff when a favored team wins.

Parlays
Parlays are done by betting that several teams will all win or cover point spreads. Parlays can be done either as money line bets or point spread bets and can also be a combination of both though generally it can’t be a point spread and money line bet on the same outcome of the same game.
