NFL Picks: Parlays, Best Bets, Player Props, and Expert Predictions Against the Spread.

2014 Miami Dolphins Season Win Total Picks & Futures Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 6/9/2014

The most tangible result from last year’s “bullying scandal” is that Miami’s offensive line has gone from a strength to a weakness. That further exposes Ryan Tannehill, who has yet to prove that he can A) stay healthy and B) be a productive, consistent quarterback at the NFL level. Miami doesn’t have much of a running game to support Tannehill. So how the passing game comes together will be the critical factor for this Fins club.

2014 New England Patriots Season Win Total Picks & Futures Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 6/9/2014

Are the Patriots still in the AFC East, surrounded by bumbling idiots? Yes. Do the Patriots still have Bill Belichick and Tom Brady leading the way? Yes. Then you can bank on the Patriots to win their division and beat their season win total for the fifth straight season.

2014 New York Jets Season Win Total Picks & Futures Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 6/9/2014

The 2013 Jets fluked their way to a .500 mark and bought boisterous coach Rex Ryan another year at the helm. They were active in free agency and are attempting to save Ryan’s hide once again with a return to the playoffs for the first time since 2010.

2014 Oakland Raiders Season Win Total Picks & Futures Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 6/9/2014

The Raiders were once again one of the worst teams in football, bumbling their way to just four wins and being outscored by more than eight points per game. They enter the 2014 with uncertainty coursing through the front office and coaching staff and the belief is that this is a make-or-break season for the current regime.

2014 Pittsburgh Steelers Season Win Total Picks & Futures Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 6/9/2014

This is a dangerous time for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Last season marked their second straight 8-8 campaign and one of the league’s flagship franchises is in danger of sliding into mediocrity, a realm the Steelers haven’t occupied in nearly 30 years. They haven’t made the playoffs since 2011 and haven’t won a playoff games since the Super Bowl run of 2010.

2014 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Season Win Total Picks & Futures Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 6/9/2014

I’m not sure what it is about football in Florida but it is just not working out for the Sunshine State. Take Tampa Bay, for instance, as the Buccaneers won just four games for the second time in three years and failed to reach .500 for the fourth time in the past five campaigns.

2014 Minnesota Vikings Season Win Total Picks & Futures Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 6/9/2014

The shaky four-year tenure of Leslie Frazier has come to a close and the Minnesota Vikings are going back to the drawing board. New head coach Mike Zimmer was poached from Cincinnati and Zimmer will be tasked with rebuilding this franchise back to the one that dominated its division for most of the 1990’s.

2014 New Orleans Saints Season Win Total Picks & Futures Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 6/9/2014

It was easy to predict a bounce back 2013 for the Saints after they endured a tumultuous, scandalized 2012 season. Sean Payton proved again how vital coaching is in the NFL and the Saints easily made the playoffs for the fourth time in five seasons.

2014 Cleveland Browns Season Win Total Picks & Futures Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 6/9/2014

The perpetually rebuilding Cleveland Browns are at it once again. The young ownership group axed Rob Chudzinski – who was a bizarre hire to begin with – and the rest of the front office after just one uninspired season. That means Cleveland will enter the 2014 season with its third head coach and third new system in the past three years as they try to climb out of the AFC North basement.

2014 Detroit Lions Season Win Total Picks & Futures Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 6/5/2014

The offseason firing of Jim Schwartz and hiring of Jim Caldwell is either going to go really, really well or really, really poorly for the Detroit Lions. But when you are a franchise with just one playoff appearance since the turn of the century I suppose it is OK to take some chances.

2014 Indianapolis Colts Season Win Total Picks & Futures Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 6/5/2014

I will admit to taking a big swing and miss on Indianapolis last year. I predicted that Andrew Luck and the Colts would suffer a major sophomore slump and I was licking my chops to bet against them last year. Instead, the Colts won 11 games and posted a very strong 10-6 mark against the spreadas the Legend of Luck continued to grow.

2014 Jacksonville Jaguars Season Win Total Picks & Futures Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 6/5/2014

With just 11 wins in its past 48 games the Jaguars are firmly entrenched as the worst franchise in professional football. Jacksonville is just 31-65 the past six seasons and they have been outscored by an average of 12.2 points per game over the past two years. In fact, despite doubling its win total from two to four you could argue that the 2013 Jaguars were actually worse than they were in 2012.

2014 Tennessee Titans Season Win Total Picks & Futures Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 6/5/2014

The Tennessee Titans have everything that you need to be a playoff-caliber NFL team. Their offensive line is rock solid, with added depth thanks to free agency (Michael Oher) and the draft (Taylor Lewan). They have five capable wide receivers and three solid running backs. The defense is underrated, ranking in the top half of the league in total yards, passing and points allowed. This team is tough and physical and they aren’t on anyone’s radar heading into 2014.

2014 Arizona Cardinals Season Win Total Picks & Futures Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 6/4/2014

I was the only football analyst in the country touting the Arizona Cardinals going into last season. I won an 8-Unit NFL Futures Bet on the Cardinals going ‘over’ 5.5 wins and they cleared that absurdly low hurdle before Thanksgiving. Bruce Arians’ charges closed the year as one of the hottest teams in football, winning six of eight games with the two losses – to playoff-bound Philadelphia and San Francisco – coming by a combined six points.

2014 Atlanta Falcons Season Win Total Picks & Futures Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 6/4/2014

The Falcons were one of the NFL leaders in starts lost due to injury in 2013 as they fell victim to the Curse of the NFC South Champion. There has never been a repeat South champ in the group’s 12-year history. And after earning banners in 2010 and 2012, including a trip to the NFC Title Game, the Falcons bottomed out with just four wins last season.

2014 Baltimore Ravens Season Win Total Picks & Futures Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 6/4/2014

The Ravens suffered a serious Super Bowl hangover in 2013, failing to top .500 for the first time in five years after winning the 2012-13 championship. But with Ozzie Newsome restocking the shelves the Ravens remain one of the most well run and most talented organizations in all of football.

2014 Buffalo Bills Season Win Total Picks & Futures Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 6/4/2014

The Buffalo Bills are losers. And that type of stench is tough to clean off. Buffalo has not made the postseason since 1999, the longest streak in the NFL, and they have endured 15 years of the Flutie Curse. The Bills have finished over .500 just once in those 15 years and haven’t won more than seven games since 2004.

2014 Carolina Panthers Season Win Total Picks & Futures Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 6/4/2014

It all came together for Ron Rivera and Cam Newton in 2013 as the Panthers brain trust helped the franchise to nearly double its wins (seven to 12) from 2012 to 2013. They also earned a home playoff game and were one of the conference’s powers.

2014 Chicago Bears Season Win Total Picks & Futures Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 6/4/2014

Perhaps no team in the NFL has underachieved as much as the Chicago Bears over the past four years. Chicago has parlayed 37 regular season wins during that stretch into just one playoff berth. They have been eliminated on the final weekend of the season each of the past two years and have wasted excellent first halves with disaster stretch collapses in the past several campaigns.

2014 Cincinnati Bengals Season Win Total Picks & Futures Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 6/4/2014

From 1991 to 2004 the Cincinnati Bengals failed to produce a winning record or a playoff berth. But last year’s 11-win campaign marked the third straight year with nine or more wins, and the fourth time in five years, for this one moribund franchise. They are clearly no longer league doormats and instead enter the season with heightened expectations.
