The NFL is the top professional American football league in the United States, played through autumn and winter with one game per team each week. A regular season leads into single-elimination playoffs and the Super Bowl. Short weeks, injuries, long road trips and cold or windy weather all shape results from one game to the next.

American football is decided by a small number of drives, so turnovers, red zone conversion and field position carry outsized weight. Rest, travel across time zones and injury status at quarterback change a line more than almost anything else. Wind and heavy rain suppress the passing game and pull totals down. Attention usually sits on the spread, the points total, first half lines and alternative handicaps around key numbers.
