For example, the Colts Texans game.

Colts: -9
That means they're favored by nine points. To win the bet, you have to have them win by more than 9 points; to push, they must win by exactly 9.

Texans: +9
They are a 9 point underdog. Betting them means that you win if they lose by LESS than 9 points OR they win by any number of points.
