2024 Houston Texans Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl
by Ryan Cobbett - 9/3/2024

Last season, the Texans were one of the best surprise stories as they made their way to the playoffs thanks to QB C.J. Stroud. After a slow 3-4 start, the Texans finished the season going 7-4, won the AFC South, and made it to the second round of the playoffs. They completely destroyed the Cleveland Browns in the first round of the playoffs, winning by a score of 45-14, but then fell to the Baltimore Ravens 34-10 in the Divisional Round.

Predictions and Best Bets for NFL Quarterbacks Season Long Props
by Mike Allen - 8/30/2024

The 2024 NFL Regular Season is rapidly approaching, and the discussion about who is the best quarterback in the league once again is null, moot, and void. All hail Patrick Mahomes. Statistics, though, well, that's a different story. I am certainly not high on Dak Prescott as a winning quarterback in the postseason. However, he is a fantasy freak, cashing bettors' tickets throughout the year as the Dallas Cowboys bully up on weaker foes.

Predictions and Best Bets for NFL Wide Receiver Season Long Props
by Mike Allen - 8/30/2024

They say the NFL is a passing league. I would like to say otherwise, but it’s hard to argue against that. Last season, 28 pass catchers surpassed the 1,000-yard receiving mark. We had all wide receivers and one tight end out of that bunch. At the top in 2023 were Tyreek Hill and CeeDee Lamb, who racked up 1,799 and 1,749 yards, respectively.

NFL Week 1 Best Bets with Betting Odds and Predictions
by Mike Allen - 8/28/2024

We are just over a week away from the 2024 NFL opener/AFC Title game rematch. The only difference is the game will be played in Kansas City. The premier matchups don't end there. The next night, we are treated to an NFC showdown between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Green Bay Packers down in Brazil. The city of Sao Paulo plays host to the first-ever NFL game played in South America. I'm leaning towards the under 49 points as this is Week 1, a primetime game, and on a continent where the league has yet to venture.

Who Will Be the Last NFL Winless Team? Odds and Betting Predictions
by Mike Allen - 8/28/2024

Recently, we covered some betting odds and predicted which team would be the last to lose a game in the 2024 regular season. Today, let's flip that one over and do our best to predict which NFL team will be the last to record a win. Will it be the New England Patriots? I was high on the idea of Jacoby Brissett. He has since stunk up the preseason, and it looks like Drake Maye will be under center from Week 1. The rookie from North Carolina has looked decent in preseason games so far.

2024 Buffalo Bills Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl
by Ryan Cobbett - 8/27/2024

After a 6-6 start to the season, the Bills ended the season with a 5-0 tear, finishing 11-6 on the season and a division win. Every Bills loss last season, including their postseason loss to the Chiefs, was a one possession game, carrying an average margin of defeat of -4.1 PPG. Their season would come to an end, falling in the Divisional Round to the Chiefs 27-24.

2024 Washington Commanders Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl
by Ryan Cobbett - 8/24/2024

Last season was one to forget for the Washington Commanders, as they went just 4-13 and ended the season on an eight-game losing streak. Their -189-point differential was the worst in the NFL, and their 1-7 home record was the second worst in the league. They were also the only team to allow more than 500 points last season. To add salt to the wound, the Commanders did not win a game against their NFC East opponents.

Odds and Best Bets for the NFL’s Last Undefeated Team
by Mike Allen - 8/23/2024

We get things started in less than two weeks with a banger of a kickoff game. In a rematch of the AFC Championship game, the winners of Super Bowl LVIII, the Kansas City Chiefs, play host to the Baltimore Ravens. As you might have guessed, this one is lined closely with the home Chiefs listed as a 3-point favorite.

Best Bets for NFL Teams’ Record After 5 Games
by Mike Allen - 8/20/2024

The start of the 2024 NFL Regular Season is just over two weeks away. I don't know about you, but I am getting quite anxious. Thankfully, we have some funky futures bets to keep us busy until then.

NFL Player Performance Props: Best Bets and Predictions
by Mike Allen - 8/19/2024

Week 2 of the 2024 NFL Preseason is now behind us, and I have to be honest and admit we haven't learned a great deal so far. A few players, including Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy, have already gone down for the year with injuries. Some first-year stars have shown flashes of greatness. The hookup between Bears rookies, when Caleb Williams dropped a 45-yard dime across his body to Rome Odunze on the sideline, was the best-looking play I've seen this preseason.

NFL Division Exact Finishing Position Odds and Best Bets
by Mike Allen - 8/8/2024

For me, August has always been one of, if not the, fastest month of the year. Growing up, we always wished for an Indian Summer, an endless season. The more I think about that, though, I realize we would get tired of the heat, and more importantly, the NFL regular season, playoffs, and the Super Bowl would never come. I don't want to live on that earth. Thankfully, for most of us, the weather is starting to cool off, and we already have one preseason game in the books. Week 1 of the regular season is now just four weeks away.

by Mike Allen - 7/31/2024

At the time of this writing, we are yet to see one snap taken in the 2024 NFL Preseason, yet there are heads on the chopping block, pun intended. Several head coaches in the NFL could have been fired in the offseason but were spared. The New Orleans Saints' Dennis Allen and Robert Saleh of the New York Jets are two of those names.

2024 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl
by Ryan Cobbett - 7/30/2024

Last season went better than expected for Tampa Bay as the Baker Mayfield experience led them to a division title and to the second round of the playoffs. Tampa Bay started the season 3-1 before heading into their Week 5 bye week. The bye week almost had a reverse effect for the Bucs as they proceeded to go just 1-6 over their next seven games.

Football Championship Futures Often Not Sound Wagers
by Robert Ferringo - 7/12/2024

When people find out what I do the usually ask me one of two questions: Who is going to win the Super Bowl or who is going to win the national championship. My answer is always the same: I’m not a fortune teller and I can’t see the future, so I’m not sure.
