I like the overs on all of these teams. Vegas is only expecting .500 records for these guys, but as you saw in my regular season record predictions, I'm anticipating a lot more.
The Bengals have made the playoffs both years with Andy Dalton under Center. I don't see that trend stopping here. I also think they're division rivals have greatly regressed.
I like the Colts bet because of the teams that they have on their schedule. Miami, Oakland and Jacksonville are three guarenteed wins in the first 4 weeks. I also like to bet on a team that gets to feast on the Jaguars twice a year.
Adding Alex Smith and Andy Reid to a team with six Pro Bowlers in a two win season?! The talent on this roster will go a long way. The Chiefs are my dark horse this season.
Bengals: 25/1
Colts: 30/1
Bears: 30/1
Falcons: 18/1
Saints: 20/1
I like these picks together. I
wouldn't want to pick just one
team and bank on them. With
these five teams, say $10
each, I've got a good chance at
a minimum of a $130 gain.
I don't like some of the favorites in the NFL. For example, the Broncos, 49ers, Patriots, Seahawks and Packers are each a QB injury away from a losing season, and the odds aren't great regardless. The best odds out of those teams are the Packers at 8/1.
