How does one use NFL betting lines?

Unlike other sports, the betting lines in the National Football League (NFL) are relatively simple. Typically a line is set with a plus or minus line to denote how much a team is favored or an underdog based on the game's expected score. A better bets whether or not a team will cover that line, which is to say exceed the number of points they are expected to win or lose by. So if a team is favored by 8 1/2 points, for a better to win, the team would have to win by nine or more points.

Will an NFL team with a 8-6-2 record win a tiebreaker over a team with a 9-7 record?

No, and there would be no need for a tiebreaker in this situation. The team with a 9-7 record has more victories and therefore is ranked higher than a team with an 8-6-2 record.The first is wrong. In the NFL, ties are statistically counted as half a game won, half a game lost. Therefore, 8-6-2 is exactly the same, in terms of winning percentage, as 9-7.The 8-6-2 team would thus not win a tiebreaker by virtue of its record alone, but neither would the 9-7 team. The teams would be considered to have equal records, and the usual NFL tiebreakers would go into effect to determine divisional standings, playoff seedings, and so on.

How are points awarded in hockey?

When you look at the NHL standings in the newspaper or online, you will see columns for W (wins), L (losses), and OL (overtime losses). A team gets 2 points for each win, 0 points for each loss, and 1 point for each overtime loss. To determine how many points a team has, multiply the number of wins by 2 and add to the number of overtime losses. Example: An NHL team's record is 40-30-8 (40 wins, 30 losses, 8 overtime losses). Multiply the number of wins (40) by 2 which gives you 80, then add that to the number of overtime losses (8). An NHL team with a record of 40-30-8 has 88 points.
