Today is the day both the NFC and the AFC play their championship games. Hard to believe another football season is coming to an end.

Today finds the San Francisco 49ers playing the Philadelphia Eagles playing at Lincoln Field in Philadelphia. The Eagles are currently a 2.5 or 3 point favorite depending on which sports book you are looking at. For example, right at this moment, the Eagles are -3 on BetOnline sports book with odds of +103. If you are new to sports betting that means if you bet $100 on the Eagles to win, and they do, you will win $103 (plus your $100 wager back) for a total of $203. The San Francisco 49ers on the other hand are getting 3 points at odds of -123 which means for you to win $100 you’d have to bet $123. Its not as hard as it might seem and you can just plug in your wager on the site to see how much you will get in return if you win the bet. You can do this before placing the actual bet.
You could also place a wager on the moneyline which means its just an outright bet with no points involved. Since the Eagles are favored to win their moneyline odds currently sit at -150 which means you would have to wager $150 to win (profit) $100. San Francisco’s moneyline odds currently sit at +130 so a $100 bet on the 49ers nets you $130 if of course they win the game. Yet another popular bet you can make on todays games is the over/under bet. The total points for the San Francisco vs Philadelphia game is 45 points. If you choose to bet the over the total points would have to go over 45 points for you to win and vice versa if you bet the under, the total points of the game would have to go under 45 points. Both of these bets are typically -110 which means you would have to bet $110 to profit $100. The 10% is known as the vig and that is how sports books make their money.
