Football is the most popular sport in America, both among sports fans and sports bettors. Bettors love to place regular pre-game bets on football, which can include everything from basic wagers like moneyline and points O/U to football props like yards O/U or defensive touchdown bets. What some bettors like even more is football futures!
The main reason why football future bets are popular is the betting odds. They’re usually much better than those offered just before the game. Another side of football futures that makes them attractive to bettors is that they come in all shapes and sizes. Let’s now dive deeper into this topic!
Types of Football Futures Bets
The NFL future bets are the most popular of all the football futures. You can bet on things like who’s going to win the American/National Conference, which team is going to win the Super Bowl, which player is going to win the MVP award, and so on.
The reason why bettors love these bets is obvious – the NFL is the most elite championship in the world of football. However, it’s definitely not the only one.
In some sportsbooks, you can bet on which team is going to win the NCAA Football championship. Some sportsbooks also have the CFL futures in the offer. Basically, you get to bet on which team is going to win the Canadian Football League.
Examples of Football Future Wagers
Outright betting is great because it comes with plenty of wagering options. Sometimes, you need to organize them to keep things simple. So, let’s separate all the football futures according to the competition they belong to. We’ll start, of course, with the NFL, followed by the NCAAF and the CFL, only to finish with the WFA.
If you’re not familiar with the WFA, it stands for the Women’s Football Alliance, which is the largest women’s football competition in the world.
