Favorites and underdogs | Who Wins on Sunday?

The favorite is the team the market prices as more likely to win; the underdog is the other side. Favorites are usually shown with a minus sign on the spread or moneyline, while underdogs are commonly shown with a plus sign.

What to remember

Being favored does not guarantee a win. The labels describe market pricing, not certainty. Compare the price, matchup information and market movement rather than treating favorite or underdog as a recommendation.

Betting markets are information, not guarantees. Understand the price, the risk and the rules before making your own decision.
