Best Bets for the NFL Season
Below are the best bets we feel for NFL sports betting fans to make some money.
- Atlanta Falcons: With odds of +115 they are the second biggest favorite in the division. The Falcons were in the Super Bowl two years ago and made the postseason last year. The defense has the potential to make a massive leap with a lot of young guys drafted onto the team. The price isn’t fantastic in terms of payout but they are a good bet.
- Cincinnati Bengals: Odds are +400 but this team has lacked success in the playoffs under Marvin Lewis. The offense could be explosive as it has been re-tooled and helps to protect Andy Dalton and pave the way for Joe Mixon. The Bengals could easily be the second-best team in this division and steal a wild card, but they are priced as a top 10 draft team.
- Tennessee Titans: Odds of +165. The AFC is going to offer more leeway with bets than the NFC. The Titans are the third team on the AFC South list. There’s a lot of stability with the Titans and Vrabel has brought in upgrades on the coaching staff and we’ll have Matt LaFleur too. If Landry and Evans can make an immediate impact, this is a sleeper defensive unit.
- Kansas City Chiefs: Odds are +120. The Chiefs are not the favorite to win the AFC West despite having never finished lower than second and winning the division the past two years. The defense has lost some players but it would be foolish to underestimate the talent on this team. They can absolutely win this division or steal a wild card spot.
- Washington Redskins: Odds are +350. The Redskins have balance on both sides of the ball and are sure to make the playoffs. Smith can do a lot with Reed, Doctson, and Crowder and his offensive line is sure to be healthier than before. Adding Da’Ron Payne gives them strength up front and we anticipate this team being a division winner in 2018.
