NFL Power Rankings Week 4
by Robert Ferringo - 9/25/2018

September has flown by, and after this week the first quarter of the NFL season will be in the books. Some teams are flying high, either meeting their lofty preseason expectations (Rams) or blowing their projections out of the water (Dolphins) altogether. But just like you would be foolish to call a game after the first quarter, you would be foolish to think that there aren't dozens of twists and turns, ups and downs, and wins and losses remaining in this season. Stay frosty.

NFL Power Rankings Week 3
by Robert Ferringo - 9/18/2018

Overreaction Week lived up to its name, as the underdogs - spurred by massive line overreactions to Week 1 results - cleaned up. Teams taking the points went 11-5 against the spread last week with seven outright winners. And those seven wins don't include Cleveland's near-miss in New Orleans or the tie that Green Bay took at home against Minnesota.

NFL Power Rankings Week 2
by Robert Ferringo - 9/11/2018

There is a comically large build up and anticipation for the opening week of the NFL season. Inevitably the results of the Week 1 games lead to an irrational overreaction by fans and gamblers alike on the Monday and Tuesday following the openers. The sportsbooks know this. In fact, they count on it. And they generally use that rush to judgment against desperate bettors in Week 2.

NFL Power Rankings Week 1
by Robert Ferringo - 9/4/2018

Does the preseason matter? The general consensus is that it does not. And there is plenty of evidence, both anecdotal and statistical, that suggests that NFL Preseason performance is not an indicator for how things will go in the regular season. After all, the Cleveland Browns went 4-0 last season, right?

Best Fantasy Football Picks: Robert Ferringo to Offer Top Fantasy Picks Weekly
by Robert Ferringo - 9/3/2018

I used to say that fantasy football was for wussies that didn't have the stones to bet on sports. But now, as daily fantasy sites like Draft Kings and Fan Duel have become more mainstream, fantasy football is the only way some people will consider betting on sports.

Betting NFL Win Totals: Tips and Expert Wagering Advice
by Robert Ferringo - 8/31/2018

I have been one of the most prolific NFL futures bettors in the sports information industry. And whenever people ask me for tips on how to profit betting on NFL win totals, the first thing that I tell them is that it takes months of preparation before I place a single dollar down on a given team.

2018 Houston Texans Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/29/2018

For the briefest of moments, the Houston Texans were the hottest thing in football. Rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson was tearing up defenses to the tune of 39 points per game. The Texans were blowing out bad teams like the Titans and Browns and going on the road and going toe-to-toe with big-time teams like Seattle and New England.

2018 Indianapolis Colts Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/29/2018

It's been a slow, steady decline for the Colts franchise. This team won 11 games in each of the 2012, 2013 and 2014 seasons. Then they dipped down to just 8-8 in both 2015 and 2016. And then last year they slid down to the NFL dregs with just four victories, the fifth straight season in which they failed to increase their win total from the previous season.

2018 Jacksonville Jaguars Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/29/2018

Beyond the Oakland Raiders, I don't think I've waffled on a team more this offseason than the Jacksonville Jaguars. I have been waiting until the end of last season to bet against this team. My first instinct has been to fade all the way. But as the season gets closer the more I realize that I like about 90 percent of what they have going on.

2018 Tennessee Titans Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/29/2018

Over the course of the past 20 years, there is a clear pattern in the NFL. Every year 12 teams make the playoffs. But during the past two decades, an average of about half of those teams don't' make a return trip to the postseason the following this year.

2018 New England Patriots Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/28/2018

I know everyone is waiting with bated breath for the end of the greatest dynasty in football history. But the fact of the matter is that the Patriots have won 12 or more games in eight straight seasons, 10 or more games in 15 straight seasons, and they have had exactly one losing season in the past 22 years. Those numbers are insane.

2018 Pittsburgh Steelers Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/28/2018

A smart bettor knows when to trust his gut and go against the public. And right now I think I'm at that spot with the 2018 Pittsburgh Steelers. I know that Pittsburgh is one of the favorites to win the AFC and on the short list of teams expected to win the Super Bowl. But I can't help the feeling that the more I think about this team the more I think they are going to be a major disappointment.

2018 Baltimore Ravens Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/28/2018

If you are looking for an X-factor in the AFC then you might just have found it with the Baltimore Ravens. I think that this team is one of the most unpredictable in the conference, capable of winning 12 games and being a factor or bottoming out with six wins before launching a massive franchise rebuild.

2018 New York Jets Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/28/2018

I know it sounds strange to suggest that a team that went 5-11 and finished in last place in one of the worst divisions in football impressed me last year. But, frankly, the Jets really did. I thought coming into the year that New York wad headed for a two-win calamity. But they won five games against one of the toughest schedules in football and lost five games by a touchdown or less. In fact, at one point they covered seven straight spreads and 10 of 13.

2018 Miami Dolphins Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/28/2018

If NFL players and teams are defined by how they perform under the greatest pressure then we are going to find out everything we need to know about Miami pretty early on this season. They have a coach that is coaching for his job. They have a quarterback that is playing for his job. And they have a whole host of guys - Frank Gore, Danny Amendola, Josh Sitton, Kiko Alonso, Akeem Spence - that are last-chancing it.

2018 Cincinnati Bengals Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/28/2018

I think stability in the NFL is vastly underrated. Franchises are way too quick to fire coaches, scuttle front offices, and move on from young players. Patience is not a virtue in the NFL. And the result is, not surprisingly, a very clear class system established in a sport that is built to ensure parity. Sometimes good is good enough. And from there you can wait for lightning to strike and go on a potential championship run.

2018 Cleveland Browns Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/28/2018

I don't recall the last time that the Cleveland Browns had a bandwagon. But if the reports out of Las Vegas can be believed, the Browns are taking more futures actions than 2017 playoff teams like Atlanta, Kansas City and Jacksonville. The Browns, due in part to their whirlwind offseason and due in part to being on "Hard Knocks", are now becoming a team that the public is flocking too. And that could definitely skew the numbers toward the worst team in football.
