 Understanding the game of American football

American football was first played in 1869 in New Jersey, USA and this sport is a go-between for both rugby and football rules.

American football is the most popular sport in the USA according to ESPN both at professional levels and college level. This sport has brought some great athletes into the spotlight for example Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes.

The sport is played between two teams with each team consisting of 11 players each and the objective is for an offensive team to score more points against the defensive team throughout the 60-minute game through scoring methods like:

• Touchdowns: these total up to 6 points and it results when a ball in play is taken to the opposing team’s end zone
• Points after conversion
• Field goals
• Safeties

The time period is 60 minutes with two halves of 30 minutes and 4 quarters of 15 minutes and these time intervals are great for a bettor to know especially when it comes to the betting markets that involve the different time intervals.
