Sports Betting terms explained:
Point spread: The point spread is a number put forth by the oddsmakers so that the public will bet evenly on both teams. For a favorite to win, it needs to win by a greater margin than the point spread.
For example, if LSU is a 14-point favorite but only beats Florida by 11. People who bet on Florida would win the bet.
Over/Under: The number of combined points the two teams score in the game. The over/under in the Ole Miss Vanderbilt game is 50.5 and let’s say the two teams combined for just 42 points. Those who bet under would win in that circumstance.
