2023 NFL Tight End Predictions: Props Odds and Betting Picks
by Matt Zitt - 8/10/2023

The 2023-24 NFL season is quickly approaching, and it is time to look at some season-long prop bets! There are a ton of props with so much opportunity on a clean board before the real action starts in September. The key is to evaluate and find lines that are too low or too high. In this article, I will be going through some tight end props that I’m targeting this season.

2023 Pittsburgh Steelers Predictions with Season Win Total Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 8/9/2023

I will be the first to admit that I am a little higher on the Pittsburgh Steelers this season than most football analysts. Then again, when a team hasn’t had a losing season in almost 20 years, I’m not exactly going out on a limb by predicting that they will be among the top teams in the AFC again this season.

2023 Denver Broncos Predictions with Season Win Total Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2023

Heading into last season, the Broncos had Super Bowl hype. The addition of potential Hall of Fame quarterback Russell Wilson, the excitement of new ownership and a fresh coaching regime, and a slew of free agent and draft pickups, all created an air of certainty around the 2022 Broncos.

2023 Cleveland Browns Predictions with Season Win Total Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2023

I’m not sure if any other team in the NFL has endured as much drama over the last six years as the Cleveland Browns. In 2017, they suffered the indignity of going 0-16. In 2018, they had two Top 5 draft picks, the first of which they squandered on Baker Mayfield (just a few years after taking Johnny Manziel in the first round).

2023 Los Angeles Chargers Predictions with Season Win Total Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 8/8/2023

I think the Idea of The Chargers has always been better than the Reality. Whenever someone talks about the Chargers, the first word that comes to mind is “talent”. Any media bobblehead talking about Los Angeles will, within the first 30 seconds of discussing them, mention their “talent”. It was the same thing we heard over and over again during the Philip Rivers Era. Each year the Chargers were a trendy Super Bowl pick because of their “talent”.

NFL MVP Odds from Top US Sportsbooks
by Dave Schwab - 8/8/2023

There are about a dozen US sportsbooks that have a list of odds for the NFL’s Most Valuable Player this season. However, the top four US sportsbooks (FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM and Caesars) break things down with the odds for the top five players that will be highlighting the list from the start of the regular season.

NFL Rookie QB Performance Predictions with Betting Odds
by Mike Allen - 8/3/2023

We will likely see three different rookie quarterbacks start multiple games for their teams in 2023. These studs were all drafted within the top 4 selections. I was hoping the three players would be ready by week 1. That still may be the case. We were able to find several different types of betting odds. Which ones can we use to predict how these athletes perform throughout the regular season?

NFL First Coach Fired Props Predictions and Betting Odds
by Mike Allen - 8/3/2023

I don’t think the first head coach to be fired will be from one of the teams projected to lose the most games like the Arizona Cardinals, for example. They don’t have the highest of expectations, obviously, so they are much less likely to set their skipper to sail before the midpoint of the NFL regular season.

2023 NFL QB Performance Betting Odds and Predictions
by Mike Allen - 8/3/2023

I realize that people probably say this every year, but I have been following the NFL for decades, and I don't remember a time when we had so many different storylines heading into week 1 of the regular season. Where do we start? The Aaron Rodgers drama in Green Bay is finally over.

NFL Comeback Player of the Year Predictions with Betting Odds
by Mike Allen - 8/3/2023

Today, I want to discuss the betting odds for the next NFL Comeback Player of the Year. Wait until you see these betting odds, guys. There is betting value on a few of these candidates, but the favorite is uncharacteristically juiced to the gills. The guy doesn't even have a plus-money number next to his name.

2023 New England Patriots Predictions with Season Win Total Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 8/2/2023

Human existence is a tale of creation and destruction. Things built. Things destroyed. And on and on into infinity. The New England Patriots Dynasty of the early 21st century was one of the greatest that football has ever seen. Yet right now, the same people that marveled at the overwhelming accomplishments of Bill Belichick and the Patriots are reveling in his demise and calling for his head.

2023 Jacksonville Jaguars Predictions with Season Win Total Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 8/1/2023

Jacksonville is one of the most overvalued and overhyped teams in the NFL heading into the 2023 season. At Caesars Sportsbook, the Jaguars currently have the fifth-highest Las Vegas season win total (10.0) in the AFC. I have also seen them in the Top 10 of nearly every preseason power ranking that I’ve read, and quarterback Trevor Lawrence is being called a “sleeper MVP pick”.

2023 Las Vegas Raiders Predictions with Season Win Total Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 8/1/2023

There’s nothing like being down to your last chance in Vegas. Last job. Last opportunity. Last bet. Last $20. That hyper-awareness; like a trapped animal. The blood-draining reality of the long odds staring you in the face. That feeling of heat radiating through your body. The paralyzing intensity of each single breath as time becomes incohesive.

2023 AFC South Predictions with Betting Odds and Expert Analysis
by Joey House - 8/1/2023

The AFC South has been one of the most interesting divisions over the past decade, with every team winning the division at least one time. This year it looks as though everyone is chasing the Jaguars. Unfortunately for them, jaguars are pretty tough to catch. Follow Docs during the season as their handicappers track everything you need to have a profitable NFL investing season.

2023 NFC South Predictions with Betting Odds and Expert Analysis
by Joey House - 7/31/2023

While the NFC South may have been the weakest division in football (no team finished above .500), it was the tightest division in the NFL as well, with only one game separating all four teams. Some huge personnel changes took place in the off-season, and it's likely to be another congested standings for the denizens of the NFC South. Doc’s has our fingers on the pulse of the NFC South and will be here all year to guide you towards winners.

2023 AFC North Predictions with Betting Odds and Expert Analysis
by Joey House - 7/31/2023

The AFC North is expected to be a hotly contested division this season, with the proposed win totals ranging only from 11.5 wins (Cincinnati) to 8.5 wins (Pittsburgh). This should mean when the temperatures start to plummet in late November and December, the action in the AFC North should just be heating up. Make sure you turn to Docs all season long to see exactly who will come out on top.

2023 NFC West Predictions with Betting Odds and Expert Analysis
by Joey House - 7/28/2023

The NFC West looks like it will be a two-team race again between the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks. However, if the Los Angeles Rams or Arizona Cardinals can bounce back from the crippling injuries to their QBs from last year, it could be a much more competitive campaign. Trust that Docs will guide you every step through the 2023 NFL season and point you in the direction of the winners.

2023 Tennessee Titans Predictions with Season Win Total Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 7/27/2023

Mike Vrabel is one of the coaches whose value is difficult to quantify. Let’s try anyway. His teams have been consistent overachievers in his five years at the helm, posting four winning seasons and beating their Las Vegas season win total in four of Vrabel’s five years.

2023 Indianapolis Colts Predictions with Season Win Total Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 7/27/2023

You often hear the term “window” when people talk about teams in the NFL. “Window” has become to the NFL what “bubble” is to college basketball. If you want a perfect example of how NFL “windows” open and close in the NFL, just look at the Indianapolis Colts. Over the last 15 years, the Colts watched the championship windows of the Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck eras slam shut prematurely due to injuries to their star quarterbacks.

2023 NFC East Predictions with Betting Odds and Expert Analysis
by Joey House - 7/27/2023

A very compelling case could be made that the NFC East was, up and down, the toughest division in the NFL last year. It featured a Philadelphia Eagles team that was tied for the best record in the NFL and was Super Bowl runner-up. It had two wild-card playoff teams, and the worst team had a .500 record, the only division in the NFL without a losing record. With some interesting changes, this year's version promises to be just as unpredictable as last. What you can predict, with 100% certainty, is that Doc’s will have a game plan to deal with the unpredictable NFC East and the whole NFL.
