I like a little flutter every now and again, but I really don't understand the betting on American Football. I don't think you need to understand the game to understand the betting, because I do, and I don't!

From what I can make out, the bets at the top are for Kansas City Chiefs to win by less than 3 points is 1.90 (I prefer decimal odds) and the Bucs to win by more than 3 is the same odds. Is that right?

Lots of complicated bets, 264 markets available on that one game.

The money line being simply another way of saying 'to win' I'm guessing?
