by Ryan Cobbett - 8/18/2025

Three of the teams four wins did come in one possession games but overall, they went just 3-10 in close games last year. They wound up with a 4-13 record, winning just one game on the road, and finished with a -115-point differential.

2025 Indianapolis Colts Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl and Season Win Totals
by Ryan Cobbett - 8/18/2025

The Indianapolis Colts failed to get anything going last season largely thanks to their quarterback play. Between Anthony Richardson Sr. and Joe Flacco, the offense never had a chance to flourish as they scored more than 30 points just twice last season. They would finish with an 8-9 record and finish second in the AFC South division. They finished the season with a -50-point differential largely due to their failure to perform on the road as the Colts managed a mere 3-6 record away from home.

2025 Houston Texans Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl and Season Win Totals
by Ryan Cobbett - 8/18/2025

The Houston Texans won their division despite a lousy end to their regular season. After a 6-2 start, they limped their way to a 4-5 finish. With a 10-7 record, despite an even point differential, the Texans took on the Los Angeles Chargers in the first round of the playoffs where they dominated with a 32-12 victory. Unfortunately, their season ended in the second round when they fell just short against the Kansas City Chiefs in a 23-14 loss.

2025 Tennessee Titans Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl and Season Win Totals
by Ryan Cobbett - 8/18/2025

The Tennessee Titans had an awful season last year. They lost their final six games of the season and won just one game in front of their home fans. They finished with a 3-14 record and were tied with the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants for the worst record in the NFL. Their biggest win of the season was securing the number one overall pick in the draft. The Titans -149-point differential was the second worst in the AFC and the third worst in the league.

2025 Washington Commanders Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl and Season Win Totals
by Spencer Toth - 8/17/2025

This is a pivotal season for the Washington Commanders. The franchise is on Cloud 9 after getting their first playoff win in two decades last season, then following it up with another one just one week later. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels had a dream first season in Washington, but the job is far from finished for the Commanders.

2025 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl and Season Win Totals
by Spencer Toth - 8/17/2025

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be looking to win the NFC South for the fifth consecutive season, and their third with Baker Mayfield under center. Tampa Bay plays a unique brand of football on both sides of the ball, and they have been able to physically dominate their opposition in recent years.

2025 San Francisco 49ers Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl and Season Win Totals
by Spencer Toth - 8/15/2025

You would be hard-pressed to find a team that had a more disappointing season than the 49ers last year. On second thought, this has been a disappointing team for the last several seasons, as they have been unable to overcome the final hurdle despite possessing a wealth of talent on both sides of the ball. There is optimism in the Bay Area heading into this year, but the fanbase is hesitant to get too excited before they see this team take the field.

2025 AFC Division Winner Odds and Best Bets
by Mike Allen - 8/15/2025

Even with the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC, the return of Christian McCaffrey, Dak Prescott, and Aidan Hutchinson to their respective teams, and the Ben Johnson/Caleb Williams era in the Windy City, I still have the AFC as the far more intriguing conference for the 2025 season.

With the 2025 NFL regular season rapidly approaching, I wanted us to tackle the betting odds to win each of the four divisions in the NFC. You'll be surprised to see how affordable some of the favorites are, as well as some of the surprisingly high potential payouts we could have with teams like the Arizona Cardinals, for example.

NFL Comeback Player of the Year Predictions with Betting Odds
by Mike Allen - 8/14/2025

The Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow won the NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award last season. This was cool to see, but the man deserved to be the league's Most Valuable Player, but wasn't considered because he couldn't at least carry his team into postseason contention. Some of this year's candidates include Michigan native and Detroit Lions' edge rushing sensation Aidan Hutchinson.

2025 Philadelphia Eagles Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl and Season Win Totals
by Spencer Toth - 8/14/2025

2025 Seattle Seahawks Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl and Season Win Totals
by Spencer Toth - 8/14/2025

The Seattle Seahawks just missed out on a playoff spot last year with a 10-7 record, but the front office was clearly not happy with their previous roster. They mixed things up by shipping Geno Smith out to make space for Sam Darnold at quarterback, and the Seahawks have a sneaky good roster this year capable of surprising the NFC. Will the furious offseason moves pay immediate dividends for the Seahawks, or will it be another middling season for the Seattle fanbase?

2025 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Odds and Expert Betting Predictions
by Mike Allen - 8/14/2025

Always one of the most intriguing NFL prizes to discuss and predict, the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award has some highly interesting names from top to bottom of the betting board. The Heisman Trophy winner, Travis Hunter, comes in at 10-1 to win the award, but we must keep in mind that he would probably be higher on the list should he only be projected to play on the offensive side of the ball. His two-way style of play brings up more questions, though—more on those in a minute.

2025 New York Giants Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl and Season Win Totals
by Spencer Toth - 8/13/2025

It is hard to believe the New York Giants won a playoff game two seasons ago. This team has had a revolving door at quarterback since then, and they hit a new low last year with a 3-14 record. That was the worst showing for the Giants in the last 50 years, but it didn’t earn them a high draft pick as a result. After committing to the rebuild last season, the Giants are taking steps in the right direction heading into 2025.
