Most major online sportsbooks such as DraftKings, Bet365, and BetMGM all offer NFL spread betting options. However, it’s important to understand the terms and conditions at your sportsbook, as some will count a push as a loss.

In the case of a push, most bookmakers will return the money wagered. This is called a hook (you’ve probably heard someone say they lost by the hook.) The hook ensures there will not be a push (a betting term for a tie). Often, you will see a spread with a half-point attached to it.
