The positive number is next to the underdog in the matchup, while the negative number is next to the favorite.

The only difference is that one of the numbers will have a plus sign next to it, while the other will have a minus sign. Without fail, you will see one- or two-digit numbers next to each team’s name. You can always tell the spread bet options by their listing on the board. Any underdog that wins outright also automatically covers the spread. The actual margin simply needs to be lower than the sportsbook’s number. It’s important to note that the underdog does not have to win the game for a spread bet on that team to prevail. Bettors wager either that the favorite will win by more points than the predicted margin (“ beat the spread”) or that the underdog will avoid losing by more points (“ cover the spread”). One team in this estimation is the favorite - i.e., favored to win the other is the underdog. So, in essence, a spread indicates both the eventual winner and the amount the winner is expected to win by.
Within the estimate, of course, is a prediction about which team will win the game. A sportsbook’s oddsmakers will estimate the eventual margin of victory for a particular game, and bettors wager on the accuracy of that estimate.
