How To Beat The Spread In Football
Beginners Guide For How The Spread Works In The NFL

The average NFL bettor probably doesn’t know the name, Charles K. McNeil. But almost 80 years ago, the former math teacher changed the gambling world forever when he introduced the point spread to betting on football.
Without the point spread, there’s a good chance that betting on football wouldn’t be anywhere near as exciting as it is today. There’s also a good chance that Americans wouldn’t bet upwards of $95 billion football every year.
If you’re going to be a successful NFL bettor, it’s important to understand what “the spread” is and how it works. Here’s a beginner’s guide that will help you make sense of the spread.
When people first start betting on football , they often struggle to comprehend what a point spread is and what they need to do to beat it. But the truth is that it’s not nearly as confusing as some people think it is.
A point spread is a number that represents how many points oddsmakers think one NFL team is going to beat another team by during a game. The spread looks like this when it’s presented to bettors by sportsbooks:
In the examples listed above, oddsmakers believe the Jaguars are 3 points better than the Panthers, the Cowboys are 7.5 points better than the Giants, and the Saints are 4 points better than the Eagles.
That means that if you decide to bet on, say, the Jaguars with the spread, you need them to “cover the spread” and win by more than 3 points to win your bet. If you bet on the Panthers, you need them to either win or lose by less than 3 points.
The spread is what makes things interesting for bettors. You could technically bet on a team like the Giants getting 7.5 points and win your bet, even if the Giants lose 21-14 in their game against the Cowboys.
In addition to looking at the spread on a game before betting on it, you also need to pay attention to the betting odds attached to it. All games have betting odds that will determine how much you’ll win if you choose to bet on them.
More often than not, the point spread betting odds on a game will be -110. This means that you’ll win $100 for every $110 that you bet on a game. But the betting odds on a game can also fluctuate.
The betting odds on a game are often called the vigorish or the “vig” by sports bettors. The vig is the money that sportsbooks collect for booking games.
Point spreads aren’t set in stone. In the days, hours, and even minutes leading up to games, it’s not uncommon at all for sportsbooks to change the spreads on games numerous times.
For sportsbooks, the goal is to attract bets on both teams taking part in a game. In a perfect world, sportsbooks want to see an equal number of bettors taking the favorite and the underdog in a game. This guarantees a profit for them.
It’s a good idea for new sports bettors to get into the habit of monitoring point spreads at all times. It’ll allow you to get the most favorable spread on the game you’re interested in betting on.
You’re not going to be able to rake in the big bucks if you don’t have a firm understanding of the spread. Make sure you know how point spreads work before you begin betting on games.
Make sure you look for spreads that offer a ton of value, too. If you aren’t sure what to look for, call on the pros for help.

The Spread Offense is becoming a popular youth football offense. There are more and more youth football teams across the country that are implementing the spread offense . Here is an article on how we defend the spread offense:
It’s a dynamic offense because it spreads the defense out horizontally, which creates running lanes inside. Spreading the defense out will also allow you to get your athletes the ball in the open field. The spread isn’t just a throw it every down offense, it has a very explosive running game, especially if the offense has an athletic QB. There are also many teams that use the no huddle play calling system. Using the no huddle will allow you to call a play that can hurt the defense based on their alignment and it will allow your offensive coordinator to call the right play consistently.
Every year we face a very good spread team. They usually go 4 to 5 wide at a time and call all their plays from the line of scrimmage, based on our defensive alignment. This team is usually loaded with great athletes, that are well coached. They skillfully used the wrist coach play calling no huddle system. Our opponent averages 30 points a game, with a ton of passing and rushing yards. The past two games we held them to 20 points or less.
We held this team to only 2 offensive touchdowns and did a great job with not giving up the big passing play. We switched from our 53 defense to a 44 defense because these guys are very fast vertically and horizontally.
Our keys to defending the spread offense ( how we slowed this spread team down):
Here is our alignment vs. their base double wide package.
Our two defensive tackles line up in the A-gaps.  The two defensive ends line up on the outside shoulder of the offensive tackles (contain). The two middle linebackers would line up 3 yards off the line and over the B gaps. The outside linebackers will line up on the outside shoulder of the two inside receivers (containment support). The two cornerbacks would be at 8 yards and have deep 3rd coverage. The middle safety lines up 15 yards deep playing deep middle 3rd. We had our safety line up really deep because this team was super fast. Having our safety deep allowed him to take better angles to the ball carrier.
Having the safety really deep does leave some room for a post pattern. We gave up a huge play when the offense faked a run and then threw a post pattern to the slot, with the outside receivers running off deep. Here was the play that hurt us:
Adjustments for Stopping this Post Route:
Here is our 44 defense cover 3 coverage alignment.
The defensive tackles will pressure up the A gaps, anchoring and taking away their QB draw and trap. The defensive ends do a hard pass rush, maintaining outside leverage (do not let the QB roll outside the pocket). The outside linebackers line up on the inside shoulder of the inside receivers and get real physical. It is also very important that the defenders get depth on their zone drops, playing the receivers high to low. The middle backers have the hook zones.
This past season a spread offense opponent of ours implemented and ran a zone read play. This was the first time we faced a team that actually ran it very well. Here is how we defended it:
Here is an excellent article on the importance of the defensive linemen squeezing .
The Storm blitz on the other hand is a little more risky. This will leave us open in the pass game. This play will send the outside linebacker and he will take the QB. This is good because the DE (red) will slant/crash down and the LB, instead of having the QB (like he does on loop), he can help out on the HB when the QB starts giving the ball. Again, this one is a little more risky. They can really hurt the defense with a quick pass to the S vs this blitz.

The Double Wing Offense is one of the best offenses for youth football. It will allow you to get multiple blockers at the point of attack.
Introduction When it comes with understanding the zone blocking scheme in football-our base run play is known as inside zone and will be installed on day one of practice. Our scheme is rooted in the research done by Alex Gibbs, Joe Bugel, and Russ Grimm.
Since the Age of the Spread Offense one of the most unique offenses to defend has become the Delaware Wing-T. Teams around the country simply do not see the Wing-T as much as we used to 15 – 20 years ago.

The Ultimate Guide to Football Defense
15 Fantastic Defensive Strategies (250 Pages)
The spread offense is one of the most popular offensive formations used nowadays at the collegiate and professional levels of football.
With coaches at all levels seeing the various benefits of the spread offense, it’s starting to trickle its way down to high school, and to even less experienced levels of football as well.
The spread offense today isn’t just one basic formation for a team with a specific set of skills that runs plays in a specific set of ways.
Instead, it’s most often deployed in one of four ways:
The general theory behind the creation of the modern-day spread offense is to create mismatches and isolations, and then take advantage of those with precise play calling to specific players on your team.
The spread offense is usually run in an up-tempo, quick format, oftentimes with plays called at the line of scrimmage instead of in a normal huddle.
The beauty of the spread offense is that, using one of the four types above, it can be tailored to your offense’s specific personnel.
Whether your players are smaller and faster or bigger and a little slower…
Whether your quarterback has a big arm and is an accurate thrower…
Whether you have skilled wide receivers…
Or whether you team is more run-oriented.
The spread offense has its pros and its cons, which we’ll discuss below.
And while not all styles of it would be good for every offense to run, there are principals within at least one that just about any team could adopt.
The spread offense has evolved over the last 100 years from the earliest days of football to what it is today.
Ironically enough, the spread you see today on the field, which literally spreads the formation of the offense out from sideline to sideline, took its initial principles from what would be considered the least spread-like formation – the triple option.
The triple option was an offense that was run predominantly in the early part of the 20 th century before the forward pass was implemented in the game, and then before quarterbacks began throwing the ball down field as often as they do today.
The triple option was all about causing confusion and mismatches and taking advantage of certain situations.
From those principles came a much more pass-heavy offense that focused on creating mismatches – the Run and Shoot, popularized by head coach Darrell “Mouse” Davis at Portland State University in 1970.
This offense was put on the world stage in the 1990s with the Atlanta Falcons and head coach June Jones, who learned the offense under Davis.
The Run and Shoot focused more on the passing game, spreading the offense out and throwing the ball all around the field.
It is the closest thing there is to the modern formats of the spread offense, which take these principles but then work in the running game more to be less one dimensional.
The spread offense could be tailored to just about any group of offensive personnel, as tweaks can be made to cater to the skillset of the players you have on your team.
However, the spread offense can be more complicated to run, especially for the quarterback who has to make a lot of reads and decisions on the fly at the snap of the ball.
The spread offense can also have a lot of complicated calls and a lot of different blocking assignments.
For this reason, you mainly only see the spread offense run at the collegiate and professional levels.
It may be too difficult to teach to players who are just starting the game at a younger age or who are new to the game altogether.
However, if your team is a little more advanced or if your players are more experienced, the spread offense is a formation that could be great for you to use even at the middle school and high school levels, as there won’t be too many defenses that will be used to defending it.
The key is whether you have a quarterback that can throw, might be able to run and is really good at reading holes and opportunities in the defense.
The Air Raid spread offense was made first made popular at the collegiate level.
Coaches such as Mike Leach at Texas Tech used the offense in the 1990s to completely beat defenses into submission by throwing the ball all over the field.
The Air Raid took the West Coast passing game that became popular around this time, simplified it, and then unleashed it with a strong, option-based vertical passing attack.
Under the Air Raid, the offensive linemen use wide splits so the line of scrimmage extends out further, making the gaps between offensive linemen bigger and forcing defensive linemen to line up further and further away from the ball.
The formation is run with the quarterback out of shotgun, not under center, with one running back next to him and four wide receivers on the field with no tight ends.
Leach’s version of the Air Raid had very few run plays worked in, and the running back was on the field more for pass protection and as a receiver out of the backfield.
Tweaks to the Air Raid put in more running plays that involved plays where the quarterback could run on his own.
In the Air Raid, all four wide receivers start by running straight Fly routes deep down the field to draw defenders away from the line of scrimmage and the middle of the field.
Then, as the play develops, one or more of the receivers might break off the Fly route to either a curl, comeback, dig, or out route to get to the open space that was left free.
This version of the spread offense requires a lot of speed at the wide receiver position, a quarterback with a strong and accurate arm, and the ability for the receivers and the quarterback to recognize the defense’s weakness as the play is developing and make in-synch adjustments on the fly.
It also requires the wide receivers to have a lot of stamina, as they’ll be running a lot.
The Spread Option first became popular at the college level with Urban Meyer at Utah and then at Florida, especially at the latter destination with quarterback Tim Tebow.
While this version of the offense is a similar formation before the snap, it works in a lot more running plays.
The Spread Option will normally utilize three wide receivers plus a tight end, along with the quarterback out of shotgun and the running back next to him.
The Spread Option is best known for creating what’s called the read zone play.
It’s a play that’s the core of the Spread Option, and it is designed to keep defenses guessing on every single play, freezing the linebackers and safeties from knowing whether it’s a pass or a run at the snap of the ball, and then taking advantage of the fact that they’re behind a step because of this.
When the ball is snapped, the quarterback will receive the ball, and on almost every play, the running back will approach the quarterback as if he’s going to take a hand-off.
At this point, the quarterback has three options:
(1) If he sees that there are open holes to run through on the inside of the offense, he can hand the ball to the running back, who will then run it through one of the holes.
(2) If he sees that there are open holes to run through on the outside of the offense, he can pull the ball back, faking the hand-off to the running back and instead running it himself to the outside hole.
(3) If he sees an advantageous situation for one of his receivers, he can pull the ball back, faking the hand-off to the running back, and throwing it to one of his receivers in a play-action call.
The key to running a successful Spread Option is having a smart, versatile and skilled quarterback.
This player must have a good arm, must be a threat to run and must have the smarts to read defenses and make decisions on the fly.
That’s why the most successful teams that have run this version of the spread have had such great quarterbacks – guys like Tebow, Alex Smith at Utah (who eventually became the #1 overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft) and Marcus Mariota (who eventually became the #2 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft).
This is the version of the spread that teams at almost any level of football could use.
That’s because this version deploys a lot more running plays than some of the others, and utilizes zone blocking schemes that are similar to other more traditional offenses.
The formation principles of the Smashmouth Spread are the same, though
 Three wide receivers will split out wide, often on the same side of the field, the offensive linemen will take wide alignments along with a tight end, and the quarterback will be out of shotgun with the running back next to him.
The Smashmouth is similar to the Spread Option in that it will utilize the read option on a lot of plays.
More often than not, though, this form of the spread will look to smash the ball forward on the ground and not through the air.
Teams that run the Smashmouth Spread often have bigger, bulkier offensive linemen who can punish defenders and move them around with ease.
Running backs and even quarterbacks on these teams might be on the bigger side as well.
The ultimate goal of the Smashmouth Spread is to take advantage of mismatches and holes created at the line of scrimmage with a strong lead power running game that will ultimately set up big plays in the passing game with play-action calls out of the read option.
The passing game will almost always attack either the deep part of the field or the short part with wide receiver screens.
The middle depth is reserved for routes run by the running back and the tight end.
This last version of the spread offense is, not surprisingly, tailored more for offenses that run more of a basic Pro-Style offense.
Basically, many teams at the NFL level have liked what they have seen from some concepts of the spread, but still have an elite blocking offensive line and a great running back, so they don’t want to completely abandon the running game.
In addition, defenders at the professional level are bigger, stronger and faster than their lower-level counterparts, so some of the pure designs of the other spread offense styles just wouldn’t work here.
The idea behind the Pro-Style Spread is to use the same spacing and up-tempo pace to create mismatches, keep defenses off balance, and keep defensive coaches from being able to make substitutions for tired defenders.
Through this, the Pro-Style Spread will often run what it calls the Run-Pass Option (or RPO), which is basically just a glorified read option play, with the quarterback running not very often so he stays protected.
This Pro-Style Spread will have receivers running more traditional routes such as slants, outs and ins, and will incorporate the running game quite often to keep defenses o
