2017 NFL Season Over-Under Win Total for Every Team

2017 NFL Season Over-Under Win Total for Every Team

Written by on August 3, 2017

Getting ready for NFL betting on futures? It’s time to take a look at the over/under win totals for each of the 32 franchises. Some prognosticators think that the New England Patriots can run the table with a 16-0 regular season — and perhaps a 19-0 campaign that would take them back to the Super Bowl and join them with the Miami Dolphins as holders of the only perfect records in league history. We’ll see where the Patriots stack up — and where the rest of the league sits as well.

2017 NFL Season Over-Under Win Total for Every Team

NFC West

San Francisco (4.5)

Well, let’s see. Whether Brian Hoyer or Blaine Gabbert takes the starting snaps for this offense, the Niners are going nowhere. Give me the under here.

Seattle (10.5)

Each of the past two years, the Seahawks have won exactly ten games. This year, though, the Cardinals will still be beatable, the Rams will still be working in new quarterback Jared Goff, and the above-mentioned Niners are going to be awful. Without a raft of injuries, the Seahawks could win 12 or 13 games.

Arizona (8)

The Cardinals finished 7-8- 1 last year, but their kicker cost them the chance to get into double digits. Yes, Carson Palmer will be a year older, but four wins over the Rams and the Niners mean they only need to find five other wins in their other 12 to get over eight. Give me the over.

L.A. Rams (5.5)

Wade Phillips will take an already strong Rams defense and make some other teams suffer. Todd Gurley should have a better season running the ball, which will make life easier for Goff. Give me the over.

NFC South

Tampa Bay (8.5)

Jameis Winston + DeSean Jackson = playoffs. The defense was strong in the second half of the season last year. Give me that over.

New Orleans (8)

Great offense (at home), no defense (at home or on the road). I’ll take the under here.

Carolina (8.5)

This should be the year when the Super Bowl 50 hangover fades — and the Panthers did win six games last year. The offensive line should be healthier, and the Panthers have shored up the secondary. Give me the over.

Atlanta (9.5)

Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan is gone. The defense is still young and may lack confidence after that Super Bowl debacle. I see this team going 9-7, so I’ll take that under.

NFC North

Minnesota (8.5)

Dalvin Cook replaces Adrian Peterson, which should make life simpler for Sam Bradford. The defense was already solid. Can Bradford take the Vikings to the playoffs? Maybe, but I definitely think they deliver the over.

Green Bay (10)

Until Aaron Rodgers retires (or is carried off the field) I’ll take the over for the Packers.

Detroit (8)

Matthew Stafford looks energized entering his contract year, but I don’t trust that Lions defense. This was a wild card winning team last year, but they won’t have the Vikings to punch on. Give me the under.

Chicago (5.5)

Let’s see — this is a team overpaying one bad quarterback while trying to mentor another. The Bears are still rebuilding, and they will be under.

NFC East

N.Y. Giants (9)

The Giants don’t have the sort of offensive line that will protect an aging Eli Manning. The defense is solid, but how long will Manning’s magic last? The problem is that no one else in the East plays much defense — which is good for the G-men. Give me the over.

Philadelphia (8)

This is an iffy defense, and we still don’t know that Carson Wentz will be an above-average quarterback. I’m taking the under.

Dallas (9.5)

Dak Prescott’s decisions should be even better in 2017 than they were a year ago. That defense will lead to some awful results — but they should still hit the over.

Washington (7.5)

Kirk Cousins has a better defense helping him this season — but the Redskins will suffer the loss of two star receivers. I’m taking the under here. Are the Redskins a safe bet this season?

AFC West

L.A. Chargers (7.5)

The Chargers had a number of games go down to the wire — and against them at the end last year. Can they avoid the injury bug this year? Maybe, but I don’t see them doing well against the Chiefs or the Raiders, and they might split with Denver. Give me the under.

Oakland (10)

In 2016, the Raiders went 8-1 in games decided by a possession or less (7 points or fewer). This is a terrific young team with a clutch quarterback. How will the move to Vegas affect their Oakland fan support, though? I still take the over, thanks to the arrival of Marshawn Lynch.

Kansas City (9)

I can’t see Alex Smith piecing together another year that’s just good enough to win in double digits. I also can’t see Patrick Mahomes taking over with any sort of authority. The Raiders will move past the Chiefs — but Kansas City could still win 10 games thanks to the other two teams in the division. I’ll take the over.

Denver (8.5)

Wade Phillips is no longer leading that ironclad defense, and the Broncos still don’t have a real quarterback. I’ll take the under.

AFC South

Tennessee (8.5)

The defense should be a little better, and Marcus Mariota will have DeMarco Murray with him again on offense. Give me the over.

Indianapolis (9)

The Colts should have a slightly better defense so Andrew Luck doesn’t have to put up 40 points a game if he wants the Colts to win. Even so, I see them falling behind Tennessee. Give me the under.

Jacksonville (6)

Blake Bortles hasn’t shown much promise as far as getting the Jaguars into contention — and they could easily lose all six divisional games. Give me the under.

Houston (8.5)

The Titans and Colts will be better in the division. J.J. Watt returns, but they’ve also brought in Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback with a weak arm — how has that worked out historically? Give me the under.

AFC North

Cleveland (4.5)

The Browns won’t contend, but they have some pieces in place to build a team on. However, while they might beat Cincinnati twice, getting to five wins is a huge mountain. I’ll take the under.

Pittsburgh (10.5)

The Steelers will have to live without Ben Roethlisberger for at least a few games due to injury, based on historical trends. They were streaky last year, and while they did get to 11 last year, I just don’t see them making it there again. Give me the under.

Cincinnati (8.5)

Old quarterback, bad offensive line, aging defense, no receivers. I’ll take the under.

Baltimore (9)

Jeremy Maclin is the last piece that the Ravens’ offense needed, along with a healthy Joe Flacco. The Ravens defense will be ironclad this year. I’ll take the over.

AFC East

Buffalo (6)

Two wins over the Jets. Sean McDermott comes in and shakes up the culture. The offense looks interesting. LSU defensive back Tre’Davious White should lead the secondary. These factors combine to push me to take the over.

N.Y. Jets (4.5)

The secondary will be OK, but all of the other units are definitely under construction. I’ll take the under.

Miami (7.5)

Ryan Tannehill is already injured again (hurting his leg in training camp), but Jay Ajayi at tailback and an opportunistic defense should combine to push the Dolphins over.

New England (12.5)

The Patriots will get either five or six wins out of the division. Rob Gronkowski is back. Brandin Cooks comes in to rejuvenate the offense as well. The Patriots have tough games in Denver and against Oakland in Mexico City, but they still have what it takes to finish over.
