For instance - let's say that the bookmakers have the over/under line on the Arizona Cardinals set at 3.5 games.

The odds for the Cardinals to win anywhere between 0 and 7 games might look like this:

0 games, +2500
1 game, +1000
2 games, +600
3 games, +480
4 games, +450
5 games, +500
6 games, +650
7 games, +900

As you can see, the closer that we stray away from the 3-4 game win totals, the greater the odds become.

So, if you think that the Cardinals will be absolutely terrible, you'd might want to bet on the "1 game" total at +1000, meaning that you would win $1,000 in profit for every $100 that was wagered.
