Every NFL Betting Market in the SportsGameOdds API

If you're building a sportsbook, an odds-comparison site, a props research tool, or a fantasy app, the depth of your NFL market coverage is the product. Bettors expect every line, from the game moneyline down to a quarterback's first-quarter passing yards and they expect to see it priced across the sportsbooks they actually use.

The SportsGameOdds NFL Odds API delivers exactly that. This NFL coverage guide walks through the complete set of NFL betting markets we support, how they're structured, and which bookmakers you can pull odds from for each one.

How SportsGameOdds Market IDs Work

Every market in the API is identified by a structured oddID that encodes everything you need to know about the bet. Once you understand the pattern, the entire catalog becomes self-documenting.

The format follows this structure:

{statID}-{statEntityID}-{periodID}-{betTypeID}-{sideID}

For example:

passing_yards-PLAYER_ID-game-ou-over

Breaking that down:

• passing_yards — the stat being bet on
• PLAYER_ID — the entity the stat belongs to (a specific player, or away/home/all for team and game markets)
• game — the period (game, reg, 1h, 2h, 1q, 2q, 3q, 4q)
• ou — the bet type (ou = over/under, ml = moneyline, sp = spread, yn = yes/no, eo = even/odd, ml3way = 3-way moneyline)
• over — the side of the bet

This consistent structure means you can programmatically construct, parse, and filter markets without hardcoding thousands of individual strings.

How to read the tables below

The Books column is the number of bookmakers pricing that exact market, and Includes names the well-known ones among them. Where an over/under pair is priced by the same set of books, the two sides share a row and the oddID is shown as -over / -under. Where the two sides differ, they get a row each.

Coverage is not uniform across periods. Full-game passing yards is priced by 43 books; the second-half version is priced by two. That drop-off is the single most useful thing on this page if you are deciding which markets your product can actually rely on. Bookmaker availability also moves over time, so treat these as a snapshot and read live availability from byBookmaker on each odd, or from the /markets endpoint.

Player Props

Player props are the fastest-growing segment of NFL betting. We support props across passing, rushing, receiving, touchdowns, defense, kicking, and fantasy, at the full-game level and broken down by quarter and half.

Passing Props

Rushing Props

Receiving Props

Combination Yardage Props

For dual-threat players, combination markets carry deep quarter-level coverage as well as full game.

Touchdown Scorer Props

Defense Props

Kicking Props

Fantasy & Miscellaneous Props

Full Game Lines

The core markets every NFL product needs, and the deepest coverage in the catalog. Moneyline, spread and total are each priced by 74 books.

Quarter & Half Markets

Every segment of the game carries moneyline, spread, total and 3-way lines, with team totals and even/odd on the halves. Period markets hold their depth better than period player props do: the primary line in each period sits at 41 to 43 books, against 74 on the full-game equivalents.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the SportsGameOdds Odds API support alternate player props?

Yes. Alternate lines are supported across the major player prop categories including passing yards, rushing yards, receiving yards, receptions, and more — wherever the underlying sportsbooks offer them. Because every market is identified by a structured oddID and each line carries its own odds across supporting books, you can surface main lines and alternates together in your product.

Which sportsbooks are included?

NFL coverage spans 74 sportsbooks and prediction markets in total, though depth varies by market: core game lines carry all 74, headline player props carry 43, and quarter-level props can be in single figures. Core game lines (moneyline, spread, total) carry the widest coverage, including DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, bet365, ESPN BET, Fanatics, BetRivers, Pinnacle, Bovada, and many more — plus prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket. Specialist props markets include books like PrizePicks and Underdog. Sharp pricing is covered too — the Pinnacle Odds API returns Pinnacle's low-margin NFL lines alongside the retail books, which is what most modelling and line-shopping work benchmarks against. Bookmaker availability is listed per market, so you always know exactly which books price a given line.

Are live NFL odds available?

Yes. In addition to pre-game markets, the NFL Odds API provides live in-game odds, including quarter and half markets (1Q–4Q, 1H, 2H) for moneyline, spread, totals, and 3-way lines. For real-time updates during games, see the Odds API Documentation.

Can I compare bookmaker odds?

Absolutely, odds comparison is a core use case. Every market returns prices from all supporting bookmakers under a single consistent oddID, so lining up the best available number across DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, and dozens of others is straightforward. This makes the API well suited to odds-comparison sites, line-shopping tools, and arbitrage detection.

How are markets identified in the API?

Every market uses a structured oddID in the format {statID}-{statEntityID}-{periodID}-{betTypeID}-{sideID} — for example, passing_yards-PLAYER_ID-game-ou-over. This consistent pattern lets you construct, filter, and parse markets programmatically rather than hardcoding individual strings.

What other leagues' odds do you offer?

We cover a range of leagues all available via our API. These sports leagues include NBA Odds API, NHL Odds API, Premier League Odds API and MLB Odds API. For the rest of American football — college football, the CFL, USFL and XFL — see the football odds API.
