I was thinking it was a bit early for these, but I posted them on May 12 last year, so apparently not. From Sportsbook:
Once again, the Pats have the highest total, a full win above the Steelers (and five cents more juice as well). Not surprisingly, the winless Lions have the lowest number at five, but the Rams and Raiders aren't far behind (or ahead), especially considering the juice.
Ignoring the juice, here are the averages for each division:
Last year there was a big difference between the AFC and NFC (8.03 vs. 7.72), but that has closed almost entirely this season, with the AFC barely ahead, 8.03 to 8.00. Which is interesting, especially when you consider that Sportsbook has installed the AFC as a three-point favorite in the Super Bowl. The location of the best teams is more important for that type of thing, and indeed the AFC's top four (NE, PIT, IND, SD) average 10.4, while the NFC's four best (NYG, PHI, DAL/MIN/GB) come in at 9.4.
The NFC West is at the bottom for the second straight season, although this year they're joined by their AFC counterparts. At the top, the NFCE and AFCS have swapped spots. For the most part these are pretty similar to the '08 numbers, with thie biggest difference being the NFC South jumping from 7.13 to 7.88. They have the Falcons, who went from 4.5 to 8, to thank for that.
The only other teams to see their totals change by two or more wins were the Ravens, going from 6 to 8.5, and the Jaguars, dropping from 10 to 8.
The bills are going to win 8 games this year. I also love the seattle over.
ReplyDeleteWatch for the bengals to surprise alot of people this year
ReplyDeleteDefinitely love the Bucs UNDER...especially getting +110...
ReplyDeleteWhat? Basically saying Dolphins are going to tie for last place? Jets have no real QB...there is no way Jets are going to be anywhere but last place. Buffalo lost 9 of their last 12 regular season games, Miami won 9 of last 10 regular season games.
ReplyDeleteHow do I make a bet on this ez money?
