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 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 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 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.

2025 Indianapolis Colts Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2025

Hate to say, “I told you so.” Scratch that. I love saying, “I told you so.” We can deep-dive into why that is at another time. But for the purposes of the Colts, they are in a prison of their own making because they didn’t see what was obvious at the time: that Anthony Richardson was way more likely to be a bust than he ever was to be a superstar.

2025 Las Vegas Raiders Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/6/2025

The Raiders spent the offseason adding glitz and glam. They paid top dollar to haul in names that look good on the marquee. Pete Carroll! Chip Kelly! Ashton Jeanty! The idea is to get their fledgling Vegas fan base excited. And the Raiders franchise is doing so in the most Vegas way possible. Instead of adding brick-and-mortar pieces to build a foundation that could lead this organization out of the AFC West basement they have spent the offseason adding retreads and transients who won’t be here in five years.

2025 New York Jets Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/6/2025

I hate to do it. But I have to admit it. I was a sucker. I bought in to the belief that the Jets could stop being total-super-mega-hyper losers for like 15 minutes and be a competent NFL contestant. I bought into the belief that Aaron Rodgers wasn’t a washed-up toxic weirdo has-been underachiever and that he could provide baseline competence for a team that seemed to be a mediocre quarterback play away from being mediocre.

2025 New York Giants Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/6/2025

Since the start of the 2017 season, the Giants have the worst record in the NFL at 40-90-1. They are coming off a three-win season that saw them go just 4-13 against the spread. The Giants have gone ‘under’ their Vegas season win total seven of the past eight years.
