Finest NFL win whole bets to make following schedule launch
New York Jets OVER 9.5 Wins (-130)
Common Season Wins – New York Jets
Odds up to date Might eleventh, 2023, at 7:41 pm
Since he turned a beginning quarterback in 2008, Aaron Rodgers has led his staff to 10 or extra wins in his begins in 10 of 15 seasons. So long as he’s wholesome, he’s virtually a lock for his staff profitable 10 video games.
The Jets picked up seven wins with arguably the worst quarterback play within the NFL final season from Zach Wilson, Joe Flacco and Mike White.
The improve to Rodgers is astronomical, and the truth that New York is seventh within the odds to win the Tremendous Bowl alerts to me that it ought to be anticipated to win double-digit video games this season.
The final key on this equation is the Jets’ protection.
New York was tied for first in opponent yards per play with the Philadelphia Eagles final season, and the staff allowed the fourth fewest factors per recreation within the NFL.
Now that the Jets received’t have to fret about their protection single-handedly carrying them to wins, they need to be one of many higher groups within the NFL within the 2023 season. — Peter Dewey
Los Angeles Rams UNDER 7.5 Wins (-140) – Reed Wallach
Common Season Wins – Los Angeles Rams
Odds up to date Might eleventh, 2023, at 7:41 pm
It’s expensive, however I feel the start of a rebuild is imminent in Los Angeles. The staff is 2 years faraway from a Tremendous Bowl wherein they cashed in on tons of draft capital and loaded its roster with stars as a way to win.
Now, the celebs are growing older and potential on their approach out, in the event that they haven’t left already like Jalen Ramsey.
Matthew Stafford has battled concussions and elbow accidents over the past yr and Cooper Kupp was out and in of the lineup as nicely. In the meantime, the protection is Aaron Donald and never a lot else by means of excessive stage expertise, does he nonetheless have the flexibility to raise a protection above mediocrity?
The staff can have two seemingly wins in opposition to the Kyler Murray-less Arizona Cardinals, however the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers determine to be postseason contenders as soon as once more and the staff has the ninth hardest opponent energy of schedule based mostly on final yr’s report (a considerably flukey indicator of how onerous this yr’s schedule can be to be truthful).
Additional, what occurs if the season goes off the rails like final yr? Will the Rams pull Stafford, who at age 35 has already been rumored to be considering retirement?
There’s an excessive amount of draw back to the present state of the Rams to not suck down some juice and play the beneath. — Reed Wallach
Kansas Metropolis Chiefs OVER 11.5 Wins (-125)
Common Season Wins – Kansas Metropolis Chiefs
Odds up to date Might eleventh, 2023, at 7:41 pm
If Patrick Mahomes is wholesome, there’s nearly no likelihood the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs fall wanting 11.5 wins this upcoming season.
Kansas Metropolis simply rolled by means of what was thought-about one of the vital troublesome schedules in historical past to complete with 14 common season wins and a Tremendous Bowl, and now the roster seems demonstrably higher.
Since Mahomes turned the beginning quarterback 5 seasons in the past, the Chiefs have received not less than 12 video games each single yr. Understand that these first three seasons had one fewer recreation, so it’s even simpler now for Kansas Metropolis to hit the over.
With an improved offensive line and protection alongside a solidified talent place group, this can be the perfect roster Mahomes has ever performed with. When you think about Kansas Metropolis’s schedule subsequent yr as nicely, the worth of this wager turns into much more apparent.
Mahomes is 27-3 in opposition to the AFC West in his profession, so we will count on one other sturdy exhibiting in opposition to the division this yr. In any other case, there are troublesome video games in opposition to the Buffalo Payments, Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles, however all are at residence. The hardest highway video games seem like in opposition to the Minnesota Vikings, Jacksonville Jaguars and Jets.
Even should you assume the Chiefs take a step again, they will lose 5 video games and nonetheless hit their over!
Do you actually assume Mahomes is dropping six occasions subsequent yr? I wouldn’t financial institution on it. — Joe Summers
Tampa Bay Buccaneers UNDER 6.5 Wins (-120)
Common Season Wins – Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Odds up to date Might eleventh, 2023, at 7:41 pm
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Tremendous Bowl window closed the second that Tom Brady introduced he was retiring from the NFL (for actual this time).
Brady had a drastic decline for the primary time in his profession final yr, however even a diminished GOAT continues to be higher than any mixture of Baker Mayfield (performed for THREE groups final yr alone) and Kyle Trask.
However sufficient about Brady. Let’s dig into the remainder of the roster, too.
The protection ought to nonetheless be respectable, in any case, with playmakers at each stage, together with Vita Vea on the line of defense, a borderline-elite linebacking corps with Shaq Barrett, Lavonte David and Devin White (requested a commerce) and a secondary that returns Jamel Dean, Carlton Davis III and Antoine Whitfield Jr.
HOWEVER, the offense leaves an excessive amount of to be desired.
Take into account that the Bucs had been DEAD LAST in yards per rush final season and have since swapped Leonard Fournette for Chase Edmonds. The staff was additionally twenty fifth within the league in yards per play. Do you assume that’s going to enhance with Brady gone and the receivers all a yr older?
That’s not even to say {that a} previously pathetic NFC South has beefed up, with the New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers every making important offseason additions by means of the draft and free company.
Again the Bucs to fall off within the first yr post-Brady, dropping not less than two extra video games than final yr’s 8-9 marketing campaign. — Vinnie Portell
