NFL Betting in Vermont
Vermont sits inside the Boston media market; the New England Patriots draw the largest single share of NFL action in the state. Full markets available on all three licensed operators.
Why the NFL Dominates Vermont Betting
Vermont has no in-state NFL franchise; the closest team is the New England Patriots, headquartered in Foxborough, Massachusetts, roughly two and a half hours from Burlington. Vermont also sits inside the Boston television market for NFL broadcasts, which means most Vermont bettors have followed the Patriots their entire lives. NFL handle in Vermont peaks during the regular season (September through January) and again briefly around the Super Bowl.
Markets Available
- Game lines: Spread, moneyline, total points
- Period markets: 1H/2H spread, 1Q/2Q/3Q/4Q lines, longest TD, etc.
- Player props: Passing yards, rushing yards, receiving yards, touchdowns, anytime scorers, longest reception, etc.
- Same Game Parlay: Multiple correlated outcomes from one game (FanDuel popularized this format)
- Futures: Super Bowl winner, AFC/NFC champion, division winners, regular season win totals, MVP, Offensive/Defensive Player of the Year, Coach of the Year, Rookie of the Year
- Live in-play: Constantly-updated lines during the game
Operator Notes
DraftKings tends to carry the deepest Patriots prop catalog (the company is Boston-based, and Patriots are its hometown team). FanDuel generally has the tightest pricing on standard NFL spreads and totals and the best Same Game Parlay product. Fanatics covers the full slate with a slightly thinner prop tree. Line-shopping across all three is the simplest edge available to Vermont bettors.
