2018 San Francisco 49ers Road Schedule Odds with Expert Picks and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 8/30/2018

If you wanted to argue that New England's Bill Belichick is the greatest coach in NFL history, I might disagree - he stunk with the Browns but then lucked into Tom Brady - but would concede he's in the picture. Why do I bring up Belichick when talking about the road schedule for the 2018 San Francisco 49ers?

NFL Betting Advice and Predictions: How Best ATS Teams Last Season Could Fare in 2018
by Trevor Whenham - 8/30/2018

Last year in the NFL, six teams stood out above the rest when it came to producing profits and making bettors happy. Impressively, three of the six were from the same division. As we near the new season, it is a good time to look at the six teams that were best against the spread last year and determine how many of them have a chance of again being at or near the top of the betting performance standings. Spoiler alert - it's not too many.

2018 Houston Texans Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/29/2018

For the briefest of moments, the Houston Texans were the hottest thing in football. Rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson was tearing up defenses to the tune of 39 points per game. The Texans were blowing out bad teams like the Titans and Browns and going on the road and going toe-to-toe with big-time teams like Seattle and New England.

2018 Denver Broncos Road Schedule Odds with Expert Picks and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 8/29/2018

John Elway is a god in Denver and always will be. He was one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history and led the franchise to a handful of Super Bowl appearances and back-to-back titles in the 1997-98 seasons - he walked away on top in perfect style after that second championship.

2018 Indianapolis Colts Season Win Totals Predictions and Expert Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/29/2018

It's been a slow, steady decline for the Colts franchise. This team won 11 games in each of the 2012, 2013 and 2014 seasons. Then they dipped down to just 8-8 in both 2015 and 2016. And then last year they slid down to the NFL dregs with just four victories, the fifth straight season in which they failed to increase their win total from the previous season.

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.

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.
