2025 Big Ten Football Predictions with Odds and Expert Betting Advice
by Robert Ferringo - 8/21/2025
I hope Big Ten fanboys have enjoyed trolling SEC supporters over the past eight months. Because the reality is the conference’s back-to-back national championships are more of a fluke than they are some statement about the league’s dominance. That’s not to say that Ohio State was a fluke last season. Or Michigan the year prior.
2025 AAC Football Predictions with Odds and Expert Betting Advice
by Robert Ferringo - 8/20/2025
With four different champions in the past four years and eight unique winners over the past decade, the American Athletic Conference is a paragon of college football parity. So it makes sense that the league enters the 2025 season without a clear and prohibitive favorite. Instead, the AAC offers the best and worst of what this sport has to offer, depending on your perspective.
2025 Big 12 Football Predictions with Odds and Expert Betting Advice
by Robert Ferringo - 8/19/2025
I can’t say that I feel any more confident about surmising how this league will play out this year. With more questions than answers, and with parity throughout the league’s rosters, this conference really is anyone’s ballgame. There are too many teams in this league that can beat any team in the country or lose to any team in the country to feel confident projecting how things will sort themselves out.
2025 MWC Football Predictions with Odds and Expert Betting Advice
by Robert Ferringo - 8/19/2025
If you really love college football betting, then you have to love the Mountain West. The Smurf Turf. Midnight kickoffs in Hawaii. Handicapping home field advantages that range from snow and elevation to heat and desert. Triple option and fun-and-gun offenses. The Mountain West has been a weird and wonderful niche in the sport for nearly three decades.
2025 ACC Football Predictions with Odds and Expert Betting Advice
by Robert Ferringo - 8/18/2025
The existence of ACC football is one of the biggest reasons that SEC football and its troglodyte supporters have such inflated egos these days. Watching the ACC flop and flounder in the New Reality of College Sports has been a joy. And it has also elevated the status of their Southeastern rivals simply by comparison.
2025 Los Angeles Rams Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
The Rams are a big buzz team entering the 2025 season. They followed a surprise 10-win playoff season in 2023 with 10 more wins and a division title in 2024. Now the assumption is that the team, with one of the league’s youngest rosters, will continue to ascend and threaten a third Super Bowl trip in the McVay Era.
2025 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
Tampa, which easily beat its preseason Las Vegas win total (7.5), underachieved its Pythagorean win expectation by 1.1 games. They finished with a negative turnover differential (-5) and they were just 1-6 in games decided by five points or less or in overtime.
2025 Green Bay Packers Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
Green Bay, with the No. 5 total offense and No. 5 total defense, was actually the only team in the league to finish in the Top 5 on both sides of the ball. And ironically enough, the last time the Packers boasted Top 5 units on both sides of the ball was the 1998 team that also lost in the Wild Card Round.
2025 Washington Commanders Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
In 2022, Houston won just three games and were a league pushover. They drafted a rookie quarterback No. 2 overall and that rookie took the league by storm, leading the 2023 Texans to 10 wins and a surprise playoff appearance. Then, prior to the 2024 season, Houston spent the offseason loading up on big-name veterans through trades and free agency in an attempt to build on their breakthrough season.
2025 San Francisco 49ers Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
Last year my 8-Unit NFL Futures Play was on San Francisco 49ers to go ‘under’ their 11.5 Las Vegas season win total. In my writeup, I observed that, “Funny thing about championship windows. They normally don't close quietly; they slam shut.” And last year San Francisco’s window to win a Super Bowl title slammed shut.
2025 Los Angeles Chargers Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
Jim Harbaugh is a winner. He has been at ever stop of his football career. And he proved it yet again by taking a perpetually underachieving Los Angeles Chargers franchise, stripping it down to the studs, and then using football basics to force the Chargers to 11 wins and a playoff trip in what was supposed to be a rebuilding year.
2025 Pittsburgh Steelers Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
Think what you want about the Steelers. But bet against Mike Tomlin and his boys at your own risk. Over the last 53 seasons, Pittsburgh has made the playoffs 34 times. Think about that for a second. The longest playoff drought that they have had over the last half-century was four years. And that happened back in the 1980’s.
2025 Arizona Cardinals Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
Ken Whisenhunt increased Arizona’s win total each of his first three years, including a high-water mark of 10 wins in his third attempt. Bruce Arians did the same thing, increasing Arizona’s win total each of his first two years and then hitting a high of 13 wins in his third frame.
2025 Dallas Cowboys Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I hate the Cowboys just as much as you do. I loathe their obnoxious, disgusting fans in their repulsive state. I’m an annoyed by their clueless, decrepit owner. The faux feeling of entitlement from everyone and everything surrounding this franchise is gross.
2025 Seattle Seahawks Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
Seattle has beaten its Las Vegas season win total three straight seasons and six of the past seven years. Since 2011, the Seahawks have gone 10-4 against their season win total and they enter the 2025 season still underrated, sporting the lowest win total in the NFC West (7.5).
2025 Chicago Bears Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
The Bears are going to be much better this season than they were last year. Undeniably better. New coach Ben Johnson can’t possibly be worse than all-time clown Matt Eberflus, whose 14-32 tenure featured one jaw-dropping decision and one mind-numbing loss after another.
2025 Jacksonville Jaguars Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
Do you remember just two years ago the Jacksonville Jaguars entered the 2023 season with a Vegas season win total of 10.5 and realistic Super Bowl expectations? It’s true! That really happened! Peter King predicted the Jaguars to the No. 1 seed in the AFC that year. Pete Prisco had them as a legit Super Bowl threat. Other semi-serious media bobbleheads – the same people that crowned Trevor Lawrence as a “generational talent” – had these chuckleheads right below the Bills and Chiefs in the AFC hierarchy.
2025 Atlanta Falcons Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
Maybe the 28-3 Super Bowl collapse really did just break this franchise. Has there been a more maddening team in the NFL over the last several years than the Atlanta Falcons? Despite being perpetually predicted to be a player in the NFC South – which is in a constant battle with its AFC brethren for the worst division in the NFL – the Falcons are routine underachievers.
2025 New England Patriots Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
I say it every year. Beware the Trendy Team. There is always one or two teams, heading into every NFL season, that the general public has become enamored with. There are always a couple teams that everyone and their sister has tabbed as their “sleeper team” or as a “team on the rise
2025 Miami Dolphins Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025
Two years ago, Miami was a fun, exciting, up-and-coming contender in the AFC. They went 11-6, scored nearly 500 points, and made the playoffs for the second straight year, indicative of a young team on the rise. Then, Miami slipped to 8-9 last season. On the surface, that seems like a mild regression and, while disappointing, not catastrophic.
