2025 New Orleans Saints Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/6/2025

No team in the league has been a bigger underachiever over the last three years than the New Orleans Saints. Last year the Saints opened 2-0, outscoring the Panthers and Cowboys by a combined 91-29, before a crippling swarm of injuries gutted their roster and led to a 3-12 close to the campaign.

2025 Carolina Panthers Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/6/2025

Last season Carolina went 5-12. It was their seventh straight losing season and the fifth time in six years that they won five or fewer games. This is not a serious organization. Yet, all anyone wants to talk about with Carolina is the “progress” that they showed at the end of last year. The buzz around the league heading into 2025 is that somehow that “momentum” the Panthers built late last season will carry over into this fall.

by Robert Ferringo - 8/6/2025

Someone must be The Worst Team In The NFL. For 2025 it might as well be the Cleveland Browns. It’s certainly a position they are used to. Cleveland has finished with a losing record in 15 of the last 17 NFL seasons. They went 3-14 last season and they enter 2025 with more questions than answers at several key positions, including quarterback.

by Robert Ferringo - 8/6/2025

I know, I know. “Only real degenerates bet on the NFL preseason.” Well, are you still considered a degenerate gambler if you’ve turned a profit on the NFL preseason 12 of the last 16 years like I have? Or maybe if you’ve burned the books for August profit for eight straight preseasons like Strike Point Sports has?

2025 Detroit Lions Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl and Season Win Totals
by Spencer Toth - 8/5/2025

The Detroit Lions are no longer the laughingstock of the NFC, as they are bona fide contenders with Dan Campbell at the helm. While a 15-2 season followed by 0 playoff wins will leave a bitter taste in the Lions' mouths, there is no denying Detroit is capable of another dominant regular season and deep playoff run this year. Replacing their coordinators will be no easy task, but a well-rounded, physical Detroit roster will be in the hunt for the Super Bowl again this season.

2025 Dallas Cowboys Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl and Season Win Totals
by Spencer Toth - 8/4/2025

On paper, a healthy Dallas Cowboys lineup has the potential to be one of the legitimate contenders in the NFC. However, recent seasons have not gone as planned, and the franchise is still searching for its first NFC Championship game appearance in 30 years. Dak Prescott is capable of leading this team offensively, but off-field issues and a lack of leadership from owner/GM/tyrant Jerry Jones continue to be their downfall.

2025 Miami Dolphins Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl and Season Win Totals
by Ryan Cobbett - 8/4/2025

The Miami Dolphins 2-6 start in 2024 derailed their season and kept them from the playoffs. Four of their eight wins were by just one possession, though they benefited from playing in one of the weakest divisions in the league last season. They finished with a -19-point differential, and they went just 3-6 on the road last season. Last season ended their two-season playoff appearance streak.

2025 New York Jets Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl and Season Win Totals
by Ryan Cobbett - 8/4/2025

The 2024 New York Jets took a winning record (2-1) into their Week 4 matchup against Denver, but that was the one and only time that the Jets would hold a winning record. They would win just one game between Week 4 and Week 14. The Jets went just 2-4 in their divisional games, 2-7 on the road and they finished the season with a -66-point differential.

2025 New England Patriots Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl and Season Win Totals
by Ryan Cobbett - 8/4/2025

Last season was not kind to the New England Patriots. They would have two separate six-game losing skids on their way to a 4-13 record. Their offense was abysmal, as they never reached higher than the 25-point mark in a single game. The Patriots were joined by the Cleveland Browns as the only two teams in the AFC to fail to score 300 points on the season. Their -128-point differential was the third worst in the conference, ahead of only the Browns and Titans.

2025 Chicago Bears Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl and Season Win Totals
by Spencer Toth - 7/31/2025

There were plenty of positives to take away from Caleb Williams' first season in a Bears uniform, but a playoff spot was not one of them. A fresh head coach, an improved offensive line, and a potentially generational quarterback have the Chicago fanbase buzzing for the upcoming season. The Bears haven’t won a playoff game since 2010. However, if everything falls into place, the possibilities are endless in a wide-open NFC.

2025 Carolina Panthers Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl and Season Win Totals
by Spencer Toth - 7/30/2025

Things can’t get much worse for the Carolina Panthers. While they more than doubled their 2023 2-15 record with a 5-12 finish last year, there is still minimal optimism that this team can turn things around. The Panthers are still reeling from their devastating trade to acquire Bryce Young, but they will not care if the young signal-caller can develop into a solid option at quarterback this season.

2025 Buffalo Bills Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl and Season Win Totals
by Ryan Cobbett - 7/29/2025

After a mere 3-2 start in 2024, the Bills finished the regular season on a 10-2 run while never losing a game at home. Their +157-point differential was tied for the best mark in the AFC while their offense led the conference with 525 points scored. The Bills joined the Kansas City Chiefs as the only teams to go undefeated at home. Unfortunately for Buffalo, despite another dominant showing in the regular season, they failed to reach the Super Bowl once again.

2025 Atlanta Falcons Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl and Season Win Totals
by Spencer Toth - 7/29/2025

The Atlanta Falcons have now finished under .500 for seven consecutive seasons and have yet to wash the bitter taste of the 2016 Super Bowl out of their mouths. The fact that they are financially strapped by Kirk Cousins’ massive contract as a backup quarterback has prevented the Falcons from making all the offseason moves they wanted to, but the front office has done a good job of working within their restrictions.

2025 Arizona Cardinals Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl and Season Win Totals
by Spencer Toth - 7/29/2025

The Arizona Cardinals will enter their seventh year of the Kyler Murray project, having a single Wild Card playoff defeat to show for it. They have retooled their roster in the offseason and will be looking to compete in a very competitive NFC West. Can the Cardinals find a way to regain their relevance, or will it be another lost season in Arizona?

NFL Coaches Who Were Better Players
by Jeremy Block - 7/25/2025

Coaching requires a different set of abilities than playing does. Managing personalities, breaking down film, designing game plans—it’s a whole other skill set that many athletes don’t naturally possess. So, when a former player’s coaching career doesn’t match their playing career, it’s not always a surprise. Here’s a look at six NFL coaches who were truly better with a helmet on than a clipboard.

Seven NFL Players Who Were Misused Their Entire Careers
by Jeremy Block - 6/27/2025

Misuse happens at every position. Quarterbacks with speed but limited to throwing plays, running backs with hands that never run routes, or even receivers who never get the green light to stretch the field. Let’s break down seven NFL players who were seriously misused from start to finish.

Seven NFL Quarterbacks Who Could Have Played Running Back
by Jeremy Block - 6/23/2025

Let’s be honest—quarterbacks are supposed to lead the offense from the pocket, calling the shots and finding open receivers. But every now and then, someone shows up who looks just as comfortable running the ball as throwing it. We’re not talking about the usual scramble to buy time, but players who run with purpose and pile up yards like running backs.

Seven NFL Linebackers Who Could Have Played Offense
by Jeremy Block - 6/19/2025

There’s a certain type of linebacker who doesn’t just hit—they detonate. But every now and then, you watch a few players who chase down a running back in open space, or snag a one-handed interception, and you think, “Man, this guy could’ve been a tight end.” Or maybe a fullback, or some kind of absolute menace at wide receiver in goal-line sets.

The NFL draft and a flurry of offseason moves are now behind us, as the rosters for teams around the league begin to take shape. There are several teams capable of making a deep run this season, but these five squads stand out in terms of likelihood to make a deep run, combined with value at their current odds.
