Whether you're building a betting app, an odds comparison tool, or a proprietary pricing model, our NFL odds API gives you the structured data you need to move fast and build with confidence.
NFL Odds API Features
The Sports Game Odds NFL API is built for flexibility. Every endpoint is fully customizable, so you pull exactly the markets you need — nothing more, nothing less. Coverage spans all 32 NFL teams across the entire regular season, playoffs, and Super Bowl.
Available NFL betting markets include:
- Moneylines (2-way markets)
- Point spreads and handicaps
- Totals (over/under)
- Alternative lines
- Player props and game props
- Period-specific markets (quarters and halves)
All market data is available pre-game and live, with sub-60-second odds refresh rates so your platform always reflects current lines.
NFL Player Props API
Access hundreds of NFL player and game proposition markets through a single endpoint. Our player props coverage spans passing yards, rushing yards, receiving yards, touchdowns, anytime scorer markets, and more — for every player across every game on the schedule.
Filter by specific player IDs, stat types, or bookmakers to return only the props your application needs, keeping response times fast and your data pipeline lean.
NFL Odds API with Results
Sports Game Odds delivers NFL odds and game results together in one unified response — no need to stitch data from multiple sources. Each API response includes:
- Live and upcoming NFL games
- Home and away team data
- Player statistics
- Full odds coverage: spreads, totals, moneylines, player props, and alternative lines
- Final scores and settlement data
Line movement tracking is also supported, letting you monitor how NFL odds shift from the opening line through kickoff — valuable for both analytics and automated trading systems.

Quick Start: Your First NFL Odds API Call
Getting NFL odds takes a single HTTP request. Here's the fastest way to fetch live NFL events with odds:
https://api.sportsgameodds.com/v2/events?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY&oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=NFL&limit=10
This returns all available markets — spreads, totals, moneylines, and player props — for upcoming NFL games.
To narrow down to a specific market, use the oddIDs parameter. For example, to pull rushing yard over/unders for all NFL players:
https://api.sportsgameodds.com/v2/events?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY&oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=NFL&oddIDs=rushing_yards-PLAYER_ID-game-ou-over,rushing_yards-PLAYER_ID-game-ou-under
Replace PLAYER_ID with a specific player ID (e.g., JAMES_COOK_1_NFL) to filter to a single player. OddIDs follow the format: {statID}-{playerID}-{periodID}-{betTypeID}-{sideID}.
Tips to keep responses fast:
- Add
bookmakerID=fanduel,draftkingsto limit to the bookmakers you care about - Use
includeOpposingOdds=trueso you only need to specify one side of a market - Keep your
oddIDslist tight — only request markets you're actively using
