How to Bet on the Eagles vs. Buccaneers

The Bucs may have won a couple of Super Bowl championships, but as of 2020, the Eagles still lead their all-time series matches. Trades and NFL drafts have shifted the roster between games.

Here are some ways you can bet on the Bucs or the Eagles:

Moneyline - A moneyline of -160 will give you $100 for every $160 you bet. Alternatively, +160 means that you will receive $160 for every $100 you paid. For example, if you bet on the Houston Texans at +150 and they win, you receive $150.

Point spread - A point spread of -4.5 means the favored team, the Eagles, for example, must win by more than 5 points for you to win your bet on them.

Let’s say the Bucs are the 4.5-point underdog. You win your bet on them if they win outright or don’t lose the game by any more than 5 points.

Over/under - This represents the combined scores of both teams. If the O/U is 40 and the final score of both teams was 42, those who bet “over” win.

In-play or live betting - This is betting after the game has already started. This carries a little more risk, since the odds can vary as the game takes place.

Parlays/teasers - You can bet on two or more teams in different matches, leagues, or sports. This method has a high potential payout, but you can also lose your whole stake and earnings if you lose just one bet.
