With the 2021 NFL regular season schedule out, it’s time to take a look at win-loss totals for each of the league’s 32 teams. This year, there are 17 games in the regular-season slate, so the totals will mean slightly different things this season. Here’s how the 17 games break down: 6 against divisional opponents, 4 against another division’s opponents in the conference, 4 against another division’s opponents in the other conference, 2 against teams in other divisions in the same conference who finished in the same divisional place the prior year, and 1 against a team in the other conference who had a similar finish. The purpose of these last three games is to help with league parity.
Let’s take a look at each team’s totals as you consider whether to add this futures wager to your online NFL betting.

Green Bay does not offer a line yet because of the indeterminate fate of Aaron Rodgers, who may be headed elsewhere via trade. The Packers have indicated that they would like to keep Rodgers, but the team’s relationship with the quarterback that has them perennially contending in conference championships has deteriorated to the point where he may be headed elsewhere.
Houston, surprisingly, has a line despite the fact that quarterback Deshaun Watson’s future is just as murky. He faces a couple dozen lawsuits from massage therapists and possible suspension from the NFL for violations of the personal conduct policy as a result. He has asked the team for a trade, and it looks like Miami or Philadelphia could be possible destinations, based on rumored reports, but with Tyrod Taylor on the roster as a potential starter, and with a roster that is drained of talent, can the Texans win four games? Given the chaos around the quarterback position, I would stay far away from that total right now.
Washington is my pick to win the NFC East this season. They won it in 2020, thanks to that ironclad defense (and to an injury to Dak Prescott). This year, they have added Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback and have made some more key additions on the offensive side of the ball. Prescott is back for the Cowboys, but Dallas will have a very young defense a season after having the league’s worst. Philadelphia and the Giants are both in the middle of rebuilding. I see the Football Team getting nine wins, possibly even ten, if Fitzpatrick has what he had last year in Miami.
Arizona is another interesting “over” pick. They finish with Indianapolis, Dallas and Seattle. Dallas won’t be as awful as they were a year ago, but they still don’t have a legitimate defense, and they did not do much to help their beleaguered offensive line. They did give Dak a ton of cash and were already overpaying Ezekiel Elliott, but neither of them will try to stop Kyler Murray and the Cardinals’ offense. The Colts will have Carson Wentz — and Wentz does not seem like the franchise quarterback type anymore. In the NFC West, the Rams have Matthew Stafford — a major question mark. The 49ers do not have a stable quarterback situation, and Russell Wilson basically threw his offensive line under the bus in the off-season. The Cardinals might not win the NFC West, but they will win more than eight games.
