It seems like only yesterday. 

We were completing our Super Bowl trifecta, cashing winning-tickets on the Steelers, the Under, and Pittsburgh on the money line versus Seattle. Yet, here we are, less than a week, getting ready for another season of big plays, hard hits, NFL betting and money-making opportunities.

Here comes the annual question for online NFL bettors: How did that NFL football line originate? Why is that line the way it is?

Las Vegas’ odds makers are experts at using their self created NFL betting lines and point spreads to keep betting action divided for Vegas’ purposes. You see these numbers each week during the NFL season. By making adjustments on any given line or point spread odds makers can sway NFL bettors to place a wager on one team or another.

To make enough winning NFL football picks to compete with Las Vegas’ football lines over the long run, one must analyze Las Vegas football lines  with respect to how they are influenced by the performance of various NFL teams and players including how football lines are influenced by stats and trends. And additionally how NFL lines are influenced by the money flow of the sports betting public and insiders.

Las Vegas’ NFL odds lines and NFL point spreads are the oddsmakers’ instrument for dividing the monetary betting action in half for a given game– or in any other percentage break up they may desire. By setting NFL odds and NFL lines at values designed to generate even football betting activity or "money flow," Vegas can eliminate its risk for loss while maximize its chances of generating a profit based on a percentage of the total money flow on the game.

Hence the purpose of Vegas’ NFL football betting lines is to control the money flow by influencing the NFL sports betting populations’ NFL wagering decisions via use of the betting line.

Therefore, it can be said that the very existence/creation of NFL lines and point spreads gives Las Vegas oddsmakers an element of control over how the general sports betting population may decide to bet on NFL in a given game.

That’s how Vegas Oddsmakers set the odds. Knowing all of these already puts you far ahead of where most people betting football this season will ever make it on the learning curve of NFL handicapping success.
