In the first year of legal sports betting online in the Canadian province of Ontario, American football was the third most popular discipline among bettors.

In fact, football accounted 14% of all legal wagers placed in the province, with the iconic NFL and the native CFL widely bet on by fans nationwide.

Here at Betiton Canada, we offer a particularly large range of NFL betting markets, while also providing extensive coverage of the AFC, NFC and the globally renowned Super Bowl.

Below, you’ll find our comprehensive NFL betting guide, which even includes some expert wagering tips just for you!

What Is the NFL?

The NFL was inaugurated 103 years ago on September 17th, 1920, as the premier American football league for professionals in the US.

This league comprises 32 franchises in total, who are divided equally between the American Football Conference (AFC) and National Football Conference (NFC) during the regular season.

A total of seven sides from each conference then advance to the single-elimination playoffs, which continues until the final two remaining franchises contest the iconic Super Bowl.

American Football Conference Teams

The 16 teams in the AFC are divided equally into four divisions: East, West, North and South.

The standout team here is the Kansas City Chiefs, who play in the West Division and defeated the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2022 season’s AFC Championship Game (en route to a thrilling Super Bowl win over the NFC champions the Philadelphia Eagles).

The East Division’s Miami Dolphins are also highly thought of and the fifth favourites to win the 2024 Super Bowl at the time of writing. Here’s a summary of the AFC’s competing franchises and their organization!

Betiton Canada NFL Betting Odds

To successfully bet on the NFL online with Betiton, you’ll also need to construct your betslip. You can do this simply by clicking on the specific NFL betting lines and markets that you want to wager on, as this automatically adds them to your betslip in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.

Here at Betiton Canada, we use decimal odds, which display a single number to two decimal places.

This figure tells you precisely how much you’ll win for every $1 that you wager successfully, inclusive of your initial stake.

(1/ decimal odds) * 100 = implied probability

So, if you do back the Los Angeles Chargers with a $10 bet at odds of 1.22, you’ll bank a $12.20 return including profit of $2.20.

However, you can switch to american or fractional format if you prefer another odds format. To do this, you should navigate to the small menu located in the right corner of the screen.

NFL Types of Bets

Whether you engage in NFL live betting or regular wagering, you’ll find a huge array of bet types in play here at Betiton Canada. Here’s a more detailed exploration of our most popular options.

NFL Spread Betting

With NFL spread betting, you can wager on multiple outcomes such as the total number of points scored in a game.

In this case, you’ll select your preferred points spread and decide whether the actual total will be over or under this value.

NFL Futures Betting

NFL futures betting is focused on predicting long-term outcomes, such as the winners of the AFC or NFC Championships or the coveted Super Bowl.

This may also be referred to as NFL outright betting, while it tends to unlock extended odds due to the number of potential winners.

NFL Betting Lines

While we feature a huge selection of betting lines relating to the NFL, the three most popular are the side (point spread), total and moneyline.

The latter requires you to back the winner of a specific game, while NFL handicap betting can be used to create superior value in this market.

NFL Prop Betting

Prop (proposition) bets are usually placed in-play, on either the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event during an NFL match.

We offer team and player props here at Betiton Canada, including micro bets such as the next drive result or field goal outcome.

NFL Totals Betting

Totals wagering is central to any NFL betting strategy, with this over/under market usually requiring you to wager on how many points will be scored in a particular game.

We’ll set the betting lines here at Betiton, and you’ll wager based on your knowledge of the competing sides.

NFL Parlay Betting

A so-called “parlay” combines two or more selections in a single wager, enabling you to bet at enhanced odds.

We offer same and multi-game parlays here at Betiton, while this wager type is particularly popular when engaging in live NFL betting.

NFL Teaser Betting

An NFL teaser bet is a type of parlay, and one that allows you to adjust the point spread for a game and increase your chances of winning.

In order to account for this, we’ll also lower your potential payout if the revised wager is successful.

The Biggest NFL Competitions You Can Bet on at Betiton Canada

A great deal of NFL football betting activity is focused on AFC and NFC matches, but we also cover a much broader range of American football tournaments and events here at Betiton Canada.

These are domestic and international in nature, while they each unlock a significant selection of betting markets. Here’s an overview!

🏈 NFL Competition🏟️ Place📅 Dates

Super BowlAllegiant Stadium, Paradise, NevadaFebruary 11th, 2024
Canadian Football League (CFL)Canada (Various)June – October 2024
NCAA College FootballNorth America (Various)August – December 2023

IFAF World Championship

The IFAF World Championship is an international gridiron competition and is colloquially referred to as the ‘World Cup for American football’.

The tournament launched in 1999, and while Japan won the first two iterations, the United States have won subsequently in 2007, 2011 and 2015.

The 2019 competition has twice been postponed and is now scheduled to take place at some point in 2025, with Germany expected to assume hosting duties and the US betting ante post favourites to claim a fourth consecutive title.

Super Bowl 

While betting on regular season NFL games is incredibly popular in Canada, the iconic Super Bowl remains the third most bet on event in the sporting world (behind the FIFA World Cup and UEFA Champions League).

An estimated $100 million is wagered on this showpiece game every year, while this is renowned as the league championship match for the NFL season.

The Kansas City Chiefs won the 2023 Super Bowl and are the current betting favourites too, while the next iteration will take place at the Allegiant Stadium in Nevada on February 11th, 2024.

Canadian Football League (CFL) 

The Canadian Football League (CFL) is the NFL equivalent north of the border and remains the highest level of competition for football franchises and players in Canada.

Just nine teams compete in this annual tournament, creating a smaller pool of potential outright winners and interesting alternative to NFL futures betting markets.

The defending champions are the Toronto Argonauts (who won their eighth such crown in 2022), while the Edmonton Elks are the league’s most successful franchise with 11 CFL titles.

NCAA College Football 

College football is incredibly popular in the US and Canada and underpins multiple betting markets here at Betiton.

Governed by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), this North American competition features 133 teams participating at multiple levels, with Division One being the highest echelon of the sport.

We’re currently in the midst of the 2023 NCAA season, which commenced on August 26th and will conclude on December 9th, 2023.

Live NFL Betting at Betiton Canada

Recent research conducted by YouGov has found that 15% of Canadians like to wager in-play, while this figure increases to 18% in the province of Ontario.

We certainly cater to such audiences here at Betiton Canada, by offering access to a huge range of live NFL and micro betting markets (and similar wager types on the CFL).

Of course, this myriad of betting markets can make it harder to wager within your means, so it’s crucial that you manage your bankroll in the most disciplined and responsible manner possible when in-play betting.

What Is NFL Public Betting?

NFL public betting displays how people are wagering on a specific outcome or betting line, whether this is a moneyline, spread or points total.

By accessing public betting percentages of this type, you can gauge market sentiment and understand the NFL consensus ahead of a particular match.

This may identify teams (and outcomes) that are either overvalued or undervalued and make it easier to determine which betting lines offer the best potential returns.

Betiton Canada NFL Betting Tips

As the best NFL betting site, we’re well-placed to help you navigate the available wagering markets and make the most informed selections possible. So, here are some insightful NFL betting tips from our expert team!

nfl playground
  • Utilise Public Betting Strategically

While public NFL sports betting can be highly insightful, it should also be used sparingly and with the knowledge that most bettors are casual in nature and not always the most informed.

So, public betting data must be leveraged alongside your own analysis of specific wagering markets and datasets such as team form, injury and load management news and individual player statistics.

  • Factor in Home-Field Advantage

While home-field advantage in the NFL disappeared along with the crowds during Covid, some 57.6% of American football games are still won by the hosts.

This must be factored into your selections when betting on NFL matches, while you should note that some franchises perform better at home than others (the Kansas City Chiefs have won 62.34% of their home games across 66 NFL seasons, for example).

  • Make Use of Handicapping

Handicapping betting can be used to create value in match wagering, by applying a virtual points deficit to a short price favorite and generating enhanced odds.

If we use the earlier example of backing the Chargers to beat the Broncos, you could apply a -10.5 handicap to the former and bet and slightly longer odds, while the wager will be successful if your pick wins by 11 points or more.

Other Sports Categories Available at Betiton Canada

While American football and NFL betting is incredibly popular in Canada, basketball continues to dominate in provinces like Ontario.

So, you can bet on basketball and a huge number of NBA markets here at Betiton, while betting on UFC, MMA and boxing matchups also unlocks multiple wagers and highly competitive odds.

Other Sports Competitions You Can Bet on

Interestingly, our soccer betting markets enable you to wager on the two biggest sporting events in the world from a punter’s perspective.

The FIFA World Cup remains the single most bet on global sports tournament, for example, while you can also wager on UEFA Champions League which is a very popular competition as well.

With Euro 2024 just around the corner, now is also the ideal time to take a UEFA European Championship punt, while it should come as no surprise that English Premier League betting remains perennially popular among our own discerning customers and Canadians as a whole!

Responsible Gambling

Before you engage in NFL betting, we’d encourage you to wager responsibly and within your means at all times.

We’ve developed numerous tools to help you achieve this, from customizable deposit limits and time outs to reality checks and even self-exclusion (which prevents you from accessing your account for a period of between six months and five years).

Our customer support team is also on hand to provide help and guidance where necessary, while we’re proud to be partnered with established gambling charities such as GamCare and BeGambleAware too.
