2018 Jacksonville Jaguars Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/29/2018

Beyond the Oakland Raiders, I don't think I've waffled on a team more this offseason than the Jacksonville Jaguars. I have been waiting until the end of last season to bet against this team. My first instinct has been to fade all the way. But as the season gets closer the more I realize that I like about 90 percent of what they have going on.

2018 Tennessee Titans Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/29/2018

Over the course of the past 20 years, there is a clear pattern in the NFL. Every year 12 teams make the playoffs. But during the past two decades, an average of about half of those teams don't' make a return trip to the postseason the following this year.

2018 New England Patriots Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/28/2018

I know everyone is waiting with bated breath for the end of the greatest dynasty in football history. But the fact of the matter is that the Patriots have won 12 or more games in eight straight seasons, 10 or more games in 15 straight seasons, and they have had exactly one losing season in the past 22 years. Those numbers are insane.

2018 Pittsburgh Steelers Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/28/2018

A smart bettor knows when to trust his gut and go against the public. And right now I think I'm at that spot with the 2018 Pittsburgh Steelers. I know that Pittsburgh is one of the favorites to win the AFC and on the short list of teams expected to win the Super Bowl. But I can't help the feeling that the more I think about this team the more I think they are going to be a major disappointment.

2018 Baltimore Ravens Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/28/2018

If you are looking for an X-factor in the AFC then you might just have found it with the Baltimore Ravens. I think that this team is one of the most unpredictable in the conference, capable of winning 12 games and being a factor or bottoming out with six wins before launching a massive franchise rebuild.

2018 New York Jets Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/28/2018

I know it sounds strange to suggest that a team that went 5-11 and finished in last place in one of the worst divisions in football impressed me last year. But, frankly, the Jets really did. I thought coming into the year that New York wad headed for a two-win calamity. But they won five games against one of the toughest schedules in football and lost five games by a touchdown or less. In fact, at one point they covered seven straight spreads and 10 of 13.

2018 Miami Dolphins Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/28/2018

If NFL players and teams are defined by how they perform under the greatest pressure then we are going to find out everything we need to know about Miami pretty early on this season. They have a coach that is coaching for his job. They have a quarterback that is playing for his job. And they have a whole host of guys - Frank Gore, Danny Amendola, Josh Sitton, Kiko Alonso, Akeem Spence - that are last-chancing it.

2018 Cincinnati Bengals Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/28/2018

I think stability in the NFL is vastly underrated. Franchises are way too quick to fire coaches, scuttle front offices, and move on from young players. Patience is not a virtue in the NFL. And the result is, not surprisingly, a very clear class system established in a sport that is built to ensure parity. Sometimes good is good enough. And from there you can wait for lightning to strike and go on a potential championship run.

2018 Cleveland Browns Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/28/2018

I don't recall the last time that the Cleveland Browns had a bandwagon. But if the reports out of Las Vegas can be believed, the Browns are taking more futures actions than 2017 playoff teams like Atlanta, Kansas City and Jacksonville. The Browns, due in part to their whirlwind offseason and due in part to being on "Hard Knocks", are now becoming a team that the public is flocking too. And that could definitely skew the numbers toward the worst team in football.

2018 Buffalo Bills Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/28/2018

Last year Buffalo snapped one of the ignominious streaks in all of sports, making it back to the postseason for the first time since 2000. That 18-year drought was the longest in the NFL, and their wild card appearance was met with cheers of joy from Bills fans, and really football fans in general, across the country.

Alabama at Louisville College Football Picks and Predictions 9/1/2018
by Robert Ferringo - 8/28/2018

The Alabama Crimson Tide play the Louisville Cardinals at Camping World Stadium (8:00 PM EST). The starting quarterbacks are Tua Tagovailoa for the Crimson Tide and Jawan Pass for the Cardinals. This matchup report incudes betting lines and our pick of the day for this game.

2018 Oakland Raiders Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/27/2018

Jon Gruden is kind of a human Rorschach test on the Oakland Raiders. However you see the Gruden hiring will directly correlate to what you think the Raiders' chances are this year. Some look and see a move to bring back one of the franchises most successful coaches and a link back to the last time Oakland was actually relevant in the NFL. Others see this as a craven marketing ploy as this franchise prepares for an awkward move to Las Vegas.

2018 Kansas City Chiefs Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/27/2018

As I have watched the Chiefs this preseason, there are some definite red flags suggesting that they could be primed for a down season after three straight years of double-digit win totals and playoff berths. But then I remember one thing: all Andy Reid does is win.

2018 Denver Broncos Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/27/2018

The Chargers enter the 2018 season as the favorites to win the AFC West. The Oakland Raiders, with Jon Gruden's return, and the Kansas City Chiefs, with their quarterback switch, are also getting most of the attention in the division. But that means that the forgotten team is the Denver Broncos. And they could actually turn out to be the best of the bunch.

2018 Los Angeles Chargers Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/27/2018

The hype surrounding West Coast football teams in the NFL this season has been consistent and, frankly, a little confusing. The Rams are one of the favorites to win the NFC. The Raiders are getting attention because of the Jon Gruden hiring. The 49ers bandwagon is full.

2018 Atlanta Falcons Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/24/2018

To some people, last year's Falcons season was a bit of a disappointment. Coming off their near-miss (and that's being kind) in the Super Bowl in February, the Falcons were intent on getting back to the championship game. But they came up short, losing in Philadelphia to an Eagles team that would go on to win the crown.

2018 Carolina Panthers Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/23/2018

In 2012 the Panthers had their third straight losing season, going 7-9. They rebounded with a 12-4 season in 2013 - only to fall back below .500 (7-8-1), but still make the playoffs, in 2014. Carolina more than doubled their win total in 2015, going 15-1 and making it to the Super Bowl, only to flop back to a 6-10 mark in 2016. The Panthers didn't stay down long, though, working their way to an 11-5 record in 2017.

2018 New Orleans Saints Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/23/2018

Last year my clients and I nailed an 8-Unit NFL Futures winner with the Saints blowing away their season win total. After three straight underachieving 7-9 seasons, Sean Payton and Drew Brees rekindled the old magic and put together an 11-5 season that got them back into the playoffs. Now and Payton and Brees are hoping to gear up for one more potential title run and this season might be their last best shot.

2018 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/23/2018

Florida is the strangest, weirdest, and most bizarre state in America. And not good weird, either. Bad weird. Scary soul weird. I'm not sure what it is about that state and professional football. But the Miami Dolphins, Jacksonville Jaguars and Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been three of the worst teams in the NFL over the course of the past two decades, with the Bucs leading the way as the biggest losers.

2018 Los Angeles Rams Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/22/2018

Philadelphia may have won the Super Bowl last year. But the NFL's biggest surprise team was clearly the Los Angeles Rams. Just one year after going 4-12 under Jeff Fisher the Rams exploded for an 11-5 campaign and their first postseason berth since 2004.
