The Philadelphia Eagles put together one of their best seasons in franchise history in 2022. Philadelphia was the top team in the NFC all year long, finishing with a 14-3 record on its way to locking up home field advantage. The NFC Playoffs were a breeze for the Eagles as they routed the New York Giants in the Divisional Round and then crushed the quarterback-less San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game. Philly led the Kansas City Chiefs at halftime of Super Bowl LVII, but Patrick Maho...
Incredibly, every team has won the AFC West 15 times. That speaks to the long-term egalitarianism we have seen in this division, but that’s also just a snapshot in time. When you look closer, this is a division that has been defined by mini dynasties going on long runs of dominance against their division rivals. For instance, the San Diego Chargers won the AFC West five times between 2004 and 2009...
Surprisingly, the Jacksonville Jaguars are the second largest favorites to win their division in the AFC. That’s because the AFC South is arguably the weakest division in the league, and Jacksonville came on strong at the end of last season. The Jaguars could have a very explosive offense in the third year under center for Trevor Lawrence, while no one else in the division has a decent option un...
According to the NFL futures odds, the AFC North is the most evenly matched division in the AFC. The Cincinnati Bengals are the favorites, but they are not an odds-on favorite per the oddsmakers, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are the shortest longshot in the conference at just over 5-1. Baltimore, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh have all won this division four times over the last 12 years, but Clevelan...
After a two-decade reign from one franchise, the AFC East is now ruled by another team. The Buffalo Bills have stopped the New England Patriots’ supremacy in this division and have now won three consecutive AFC East titles themselves. The oddsmakers have made Buffalo the AFC East favorites again per the NFL futures odds, but both the Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets have a decent chance of cla...
Though their projected 2023 win total isn’t the highest in the NFC, the Philadelphia Eagles are the favorite to win the conference championship again. Just three years ago the Eagles won four games and finished last in the NFC East. Things flipped under Nick Sirianni with nine wins in 2021 followed by a franchise record 14 wins a season ago. The club inked Jalen Hurts to ...
If the San Francisco 49ers had a quarterback they might have reached the Super Bowl last season. Their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship was so bad the league made a rule change this offseason to address that situation. Unfortunately it doesn’t help the Niners now. And because of the QB situation there are some concerns about the Niners, who boast th...
Winning eight of their last 10 games kept the Detroit Lions in playoff contention until the final weekend of the 2022 season. Finishing with nine victories and their first winning record since 2017 raised expectations in the Motor City and Coach of the Year candidate Dan Campbell has changed the culture. That doesn’t mean squat until the results occur on the field and oddsmakers have...
With Patrick Mahomes behind center the Kansas City Chiefs are always a threat to reach and win the Super Bowl. For the second time in four years they enter the season as the defending champions after rallying to beat Philadelphia, 38-35, in Super Bowl LVII. Since Mahomes became the permanent starter in 2018 the Chiefs have won at least 12 regular season games matching the 2...
For the first time since the mid-1990s the Dallas Cowboys strung together back-to-back seasons with double digit victories. Winning 12 games in each of the last two years has taken some of the heat off Mike McCarthy, but now it’s time for the Boys to perform when it matters most after getting bounced by the San Francisco 49ers in the playoffs both years. The offense regressed last ...
If the trajectory the Cincinnati Bengals have taken under coach Zac Taylor continues they should have around 14 wins this season surpassing their projected total of 11.5, tied with Kansas City and San Francisco as the highest on the board. In Taylor’s first year the Bengals won two games earning the No. 1 overall pick in the draft selecting Joe Burrow. Burrow was playing we...
It’s hard to argue that any team has been devastated by injuries more than the Baltimore Ravens over the last few seasons. If they are able to stay relatively healthy the Ravens should compete for a playoff spot and division title in 2023. Lamar Jackson is the key figure in the offense and the team made it a priority to lock him up giving him a sweet deal durin...
The championship window for the Buffalo Bills is still open, but with each passing year it closes ever so slightly. With 47 wins over the last four seasons the Bills are one of the top teams in the AFC, however playoff losses to Kansas City and the Bengals over the last three seasons has prevented Buffalo from reaching the Super Bowl. One could expect 2023 to be their year or maybe t...
The NFL futures odds market is huge. You have Super Bowl odds, conference odds and even division champion odds. You can also wager on whether or not a team will make the playoffs at the conclusion of the 2023 NFL regular season. Those are just some of the team futures with a whole market just for individuals. Let’s get back to the playoff situation, though, shall we. The league changed the playoff format last season with two additional teams – one from each conference – added to the fray. Thus w...
A coach in the old Arena Football League once said after his team signed a major star player, “I just became a better coach today.” That pretty much sums it up when talking about the upcoming 2023 NFL season. Sure, a good coach can make a difference, but in the end the results are controlled by the players. And with better players a coach has a better chance of winning a postseason award. The odds on the board fluctuate wildly with Sean Payton the early favorite as the only coach with shorter th...
So what the heck are the Carolina Panthers going to do with the top overall pick after trading a mint to the Chicago Bears to acquire it? The NFL betting market looks to be of the belief that a quarterback will be selected going by the odds movement at the online sportsbook. But which will it be – Alabama’s Bryce Young or Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud? Could they shock the world and go with Kentucky’s Will Levis or Florida’s Anthony Richardson instead? Personally I don’t care what they do just so long as the front office inserts a competent player under center to get the ball to the solid pieces already on the roster as well as the ones brought in via free agency this offseason. All the line value has been sucked out of those possibilities occurring, so let’s take a deep dive in what’s left and see if we can’t add to the bottom line in 2023 NFL Draft betting. The following are the positions I’ve already locked in heading into Thursday night. ...
The 2023 NFL Draft is right around the corner so I thought now would be a good time to put the current Super Bowl LVIII odds under the microscope and discuss some of the bigger market moves made during the first few months of the offseason. As it stands right now, the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs are the odds-on favorites to repeat and I can’t argue with that as great a job Andy Reid and the gang did to win it all last season. Unsurprisingly, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers od...
Bryce Young is favored in 2023 NFL Draft betting odds to be the first overall pick. The Chicago Bears hold the first pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, but all indications are that the Bears will trade that pick. Young is considered the top quarterback in the 2023 NFL Draft class and it is hard to argue, as he won the Heisman Trophy in 2021 and he was great again in 2022. The 2023 NFL Draf...
Just because the game takes a break in the middle of the contest doesn’t mean the prop bets stop. Oh no. Like the action on the field and the commercials that cost a zillion dollars to air for 30 seconds, halftime is a huge part of the Super Bowl, appealing to the casual fans that could care less about the outcome. And believe it or not there are people out there who could care less about who wins. Is there a better way for people who don’t know or care about football but want a piece of the bet...
It’s the best time of the year for bettors and sportsbooks since there’s nothing quite like the Super Bowl when it comes to gambling. BookMaker.eu has a plethora of prop betting options and the number of outrageous exotic props seems to grow every year. Anything goes when it comes to the Big Game, and it usually does. The Super Bowl is a smorgasbord for degenerate gamblers and it’s also the perfect opportunity for first-timers. You don’t have to be a fan of either team or even the NFL to have so...
The Super Bowl isn’t just a game to determine the champion of the NFL. Not even close. It’s an experience that lasts the entire day. From the hours-long pregame show to the postgame awards ceremony and second-guessing analysis, football fans are bombarded. To make things more interesting and to liven up the game even more, sportsbooks go all out just like the television commercials. And what they’ve come up with is an amazing market of propositional bets. You don’t have to be a football fan to guess whether or not the coin toss will land on heads or tails. But you can place a wager on it. The halftime show has become a bigger deal than the game itself, and because of that there are a number of prop bets available for intermission activities. And, of course, there is a game between the two best teams in the league unfolding. That’s where the betting really takes place with billions of dollars wagered on which team wins as well as the performance of certain players. Welcome to the world of Super Bowl props. Super Bowl LVII between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles will air live on Sunday, February 12, 2023 at 6:30 p.m. ET from State Farm Stadium in Glendale, AZ. The game will be televised on FOX. ...
An additional week between conference championships and Super Sunday was designed to give participating teams time to rest and game plan. Or was it? Taking full advantage of the extra days, sportsbooks come up with a wide variety of proposition bets, also giving bettors a chance to handicap the markets. Organizers of the World Cup might say otherwise, but the Super Bowl is the biggest sporting spectacle on the planet taking in billions at the betting window. Not only can you wager on the game and its outcome, but a creative prop market just adds to the excitement and the dollar amount. One of the more popular props is on the game’s MVP, and considering quarterbacks have won the award 31 times in the previous 56 Super Bowls it’s not surprising to see Philadelphia’s Jalen Hurts and Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes at the top of the odds board. ...
I guess it’s only fitting that the two best teams during the regular season meet in Super Bowl LVII to determine the NFL champion. The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles each went 14-3 during the season claiming the No. 1 seed in their respective conference, though the Eagles had little difficulty earning payout victories over the Giants and 49ers by a combined 55 points. Things were a little more difficult for the Chiefs, who needed a last second field goal to beat Cincinnati 23-20 in a rematch of last year’s AFC Championship game. Kansas City advanced with a 7-point win over Jacksonville in the divisional round failing to cover the 10-point spread. They also had to deal with the uncertainty of Patrick Mahomes’ ankle injury. Meanwhile the Eagles won their two postseason games by a combined score of 69-14. The game hit the board as a tossup before Philly settled as an early 2-point favorite. Super Bowl LVII will take place on Sunday, February 12, 2023 at 6:30 p.m. ET at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, AZ and will be televised on FOX. ...
The top two teams in the NFC will battle it out in the conference championship game to see which club punches a ticket to Arizona in early February. Arguably the hottest team in the NFL, the San Francisco 49ers take a 12-game overall winning streak into their showdown with the top-seeded Philadelphia Eagles. Overcoming the loss of two quarterbacks during the regular season, the Niners are headed back to the NFC title game for a second straight season with hope that Brock Purdy can get them to the Super Bowl. Purdy has yet to lose as a starter going 7-0 with six payouts in that run. If the opening line holds it’ll be the first time the Niners are catching points since Week 8 of the regular season. The NFC Championship game will take place on Sunday, January 29, 2023 at 3 p.m. ET at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA and will be televised on FOX. ...
In a rematch of last season’s AFC Championship the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs will determine the conference representative in Super Bowl LVII. The Chiefs are hosting for a fifth consecutive season with last year’s 27-24 overtime loss to the Bengals making them 2-2 in the previous four conference title games. The big concern for the Chiefs ahead of this matchup is the health of Patrick Mahomes, who sustained an ankle injury in the Divisional Round win over Jacksonville. While KC has won a bunch of games over the years with Mahomes running the show, they are 0-3 SU and ATS in the last three encounters with the Bengals. The AFC Championship game will take place on Sunday, January 29, 2023 at 6:30 p.m. ET at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, MO and will be televised on CBS. ...
