What does this NFL betting link mean?

There are certain NFL numbers that obviously display the odds though I don't know what they mean.
Who do you think'll win on sunday Packers v. Bears?

admin answers:

I think the packers will win, Coral has them at favourites at 1/2 This means for every $2 you bet you get $1back. The Bears odds are 13/8 which means you win 13 for every 8 units that you bet. These odds show the packers as heavy favourites and so if you were to bet on them you wouldn't be making a profit on the game. Hope that answers your question!

Michael asks…

When I look at the point spreads for NFL games, there's a "over / under" number, what is this?

How does it work? Here's one place I see it:

Thanks!
OK, I see what it is, but take the Pats game. It says 46.5 ( -110.0.

I guess that means the total points is 46.5, but what does the "( -110" mean?

admin answers:

The ( -110 ) is the money it means you need to bet $110 to win $100 since the bookie gets his 10%, that number will change depending on the bet, like if you bet a straight wager on a heavy favorite to win you can see something like a (-500) meaning you would need to bet $500 to win $100
