Definition of Regular Season Wins

What does the term "regular season wins" mean in the world of sports betting? What is the definition of the term "regular season wins"?

The "regular season wins" lines can be used for any sport - for this article, we will illustrate what this term means using the NFL.

The "regular season wins" line is very straightforward - you are betting on a team going under or over a set regular season win total.

For instance, for the 2024 NFL season, the line for the Arizona Cardinals looks like this:

Regular Season Wins

Over 7.5 Wins, +124
Under 7.5 Wins, -152

So, if you believe that Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals are going to be better than expected, you would want to take the "over 7.5 wins" total.

If the Cardinals finish the season at say, 10-7, you would easily win your wager.

On the other hand, if you think that the Cardinals are going to be worse than expected, you would want to take the "Under 7.5 Wins" number.

As you can see, the market thinks that the Cardinals will likely go under the 7.5 win total, which is why it is the favorite.

The better a team is, the higher their win total number will be, and vice versa.
