2019 Denver Broncos Odds to win the Super Bowl with Expert Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 8/9/2019

The Denver Broncos have played only three seasons since winning their last Super Bowl. But, man, have those been lousy years. They stumbled in the transition away from Peyton Manning the first year and then just fell into the gutter the last two years. Now there is another coaching change, another approach, another quarterback - two, actually - and, they would hope, some more success. But it won't come easy. They have some holes to deal with still, and they are in a very top-heavy division that won't do them any favors.

2019 Pittsburgh Steelers Odds to win the Super Bowl with Expert Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 8/8/2019

This is a big year for Mike Tomlin. He's only a year removed from a 13-3 season, though losing in their first playoff game diminished much of the accomplishment there. And last year was a pretty underwhelming season - as much as a 9-6-1 season can be underwhelming, anyway - and was packed with all sorts of drama and some really bad play down the stretch after an excellent start.

2019 Cleveland Browns Odds to win the Super Bowl with Expert Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 8/8/2019

The Browns are among the Super Bowl favorites, and it is tough to get your head around. Hue Jackson was fired halfway through last season with a truly pathetic 3-36-1 record with the team. They were just a mess. But they closed out at 5-3, had a huge offseason, and now everyone loves them.

2019 Baltimore Ravens Odds to win the Super Bowl with Expert Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 8/8/2019

After making the playoffs six times in seven years, and winning a Super Bowl, the Ravens had hit a rough patch and had missed the playoffs three years in a row. They had improved each of those three years, so it wasn't a total disaster, but it wasn't ideal. But last year they won 10 games and grabbed a wild card spot.

2019 Cincinnati Bengals Odds to win the Super Bowl with Expert Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 8/8/2019

Have you ever had that thing where you wanted something so badly for so long, and then when you get it you feel a little lost because you don't know what to do next? Thanks to the Bengals, that is where I find myself. For so long Marvin Lewis was the target all my disrespect and dislike. He spent years tagged as the worst coach in all of football in my eyes - and he had seven pathetic wild card losses and countless criminal charges from his players to prove it.

2019 Miami Dolphins Odds to win the Super Bowl with Expert Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 8/7/2019

In 2016, the Miami Dolphins finished 10-6. It was their first time above .500 since 2008, and not coincidentally the first time in the playoffs since then as well. It seemed, finally, that the franchise had turned a corner. But then they won seven and six games the next two seasons. The Dolphins couldn't quit being the Dolphins, it appears. That led to a summer of big changes - new coach, new QB, new attitude; for what that's worth. But will it matter? Can Brian Flores win when the last five coaches haven't?

2019 Buffalo Bills Odds to win the Super Bowl with Expert Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 8/7/2019

The Buffalo Bills made the playoffs - barely - in 2017, but that was the only time since 1999 that they had been there. Last year was a mess, though, and it is a long way from a lock that this year will be any better. Trying to become relevant in the AFC East has apparently been the hardest job in sports the last two decades, and that may continue again. Buffalo is trying to improve, but it is not a smooth or fast process.

2019 Indianapolis Colts Odds to win the Super Bowl with Expert Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 8/6/2019

The Colts are a lesson in how quickly things can change. In 2017 they were an ugly 4-12 as Andrew Luck was hurt all season and they couldn't overcome that - among many other problems. They were a mess. After a coaching change and a return to health for their MVP, though, they were a 10-win playoff team and now they enter the season as a solid favorite to win the division - and many expect them to do more than that.

2019 Houston Texans Odds to win the Super Bowl with Expert Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 8/6/2019

I hate drama around a team. It's hard enough to win when everyone around a team is working together towards a common vision. So, I really don't like the offseason the Texans had. When GM Rick Smith took a leave from the team, Brian Gaine was hired to be the new GM in January of 2018. He had been director of player personnel for the Texans for three years before leaving for the Bills for one year, so he was a known commodity.

2019 New York Jets Odds to win the Super Bowl with Expert Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 8/6/2019

The Jets cannot be accused of having had a boring offseason. New coach. Highly-touted new running back. New GM - the old one was fired after hiring the coach and signing the player, which is not how these things typically work. New uniforms. The Jets have been the Jets for a long time now - and that's not a compliment. But now they are trying hard to turn things around and to again make the AFC East more than a one-horse race. So, can they do it?

2019 New England Patriots Odds to win the Super Bowl with Expert Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 8/5/2019

It has been well over half a year, and I still haven't recovered fully from how boring that Super Bowl was. Verging on unwatchable. But it was also a decisive win for the team of our generation. And it came years after many had written off the Patriots because of age, malaise, team construction, coaching losses, and so many other things.

2019 Tennessee Titans Odds to win the Super Bowl with Expert Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 8/5/2019

Tennessee enters the season in a tough spot. They are a solid team with a very good defense. But they play in a very tough division, and it's not tough to make the argument that all four teams are in better all-round shape right now than the Titans are. If circumstances were different, then perhaps this is a team that could be in good shape. But it's quite possible that they have been left behind here.

2019 Jacksonville Jaguars Odds to win the Super Bowl with Expert Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 7/31/2019

The Jacksonville Jaguars were such a pleasant surprise in 2017, winning their division while scoring the second most points in the AFC and allowing the fewest. It's led many suckers, including me, to think that they would be a respectable team last year, too. Unless 5-11 and the second worst offense in football meets your standards for respectable, that definitely was not the case. Now the team is at a crossroads. They have had a solid offseason, but they need to improve or things could get ugly in Jacksonville.

Bet on NFL Draft Picks Performance in 2019 Season
by Trevor Whenham - 5/15/2019

It's an odd thing every year in the NFL offseason - we spend a whole lot more time, energy, and effort talking about and writing about where players are going to getting drafted than we do about how they are going to do with their new teams.

2019 NFC West Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 5/15/2019

The NFC West has produced more than its share of NFC Champions in recent years - four in the last seven years. All four teams in the division have won the conference in the last 11 years - something no other division can match. The Rams are again favored to win the conference, but they are going to be in for a fight if they falter even slightly.

2019 NFC North Predictions with Betting Advice
by Trevor Whenham - 5/15/2019

There are two things that stand out when you take a look at the NFC North over the years. First, three different teams have won the division in the last three years. This has been a wide-open division. Second, the team that hasn't won it over that time, the Lions, have somehow managed not to win the division since 1993. How long ago was that?

2019 NFC South Expert Predictions and Betting Odds
by Trevor Whenham - 5/15/2019

This week we have been taking a division-by-division look at the NFL, looking at the highlights and low points for each team as we move from the action of the offseason towards the start of the preseason - very slowly. The last stop on the trip is the NFC South, a division that really doesn't feel very competitive. New Orleans dominated last year, and things didn't change enough in the division for us to really doubt that some version of the same thing will happen again. (odds are from BetOnline)

2019 NFC East Betting Advice: Expert Predictions and Preview
by Trevor Whenham - 5/14/2019

It wasn't too long ago that the NFC East was a great division. And it could be again in the future if they get some luck and QB and beyond. But right now, it feels like it is made up of a truly lousy team, two decent ones trying to be more than that, and a fourth that is fighting to be relevant. It's hard to believe that the best of the NFC is here.

Expert NFL Betting Advice: 2019 AFC West Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 5/14/2019

Free agency is over in the NFL for the most part. The draft is in the rearview mirror. All that stands between now and the start of training camp is some optional workouts that aren't really optional. And time. Too much time. To help that time pass, we are looking at each division - the highlights, the lowlights, and the value. Up next is the AFC West.
