What is NFL futures betting?

NFL futures betting is betting on any event or outcome that will be determined at the end of the season. That can be any number of things.

Player Award Futures

You can bet on all the season awards like MVP, defensive player of the year, comeback player of the year, coach of the year, and so on.

Player Statistical Futures

You can bet on which players will lead the league in a statistical category like “who will fish the season with the most receiving yards”?

Team Futures

Each team is given an over/under before they season on how many wins they’ll have. You can bet on that and also whether or not a team will win their division or make the playoffs.

A future bet can be placed before the season starts or at any point during the season. As the season wanes and more information is learned every week, the odds will shift accordingly. Picking the Super Bowl winner before the season is a lot harder to do than after teams have played 10 games, and the odds will reflect that.


How do you bet on NFL futures?

Betting on NFL futures is fairly straightforward: All of the major online sportsbooks have a section for each sport, and inside them usually a subsection that says “futures”. Some books may have multiple sections that say “team futures” and “awards”, but those are all futures bets.

In any category you’re looking to bet on, all teams or player names will be listed with odds, and you just choose who you want to bet on. You can also parlay NFL futures bets.

For example, You can bet that Patrick Mahomes will win the MVP and that Micah Parsons will win defensive player of the year on the same slip, or you can parlay between sports and bet that Patrick Mahomes will win the NFL MVP and Luka Doncic will win the NBA MVP, also on the same slip.

The risk is that you’re betting on something that won’t happen for quite some time, and you can’t know what will happen between the time you bet and when the season finishes. The more unknown there is when placing your bet, the riskier it is.
