Will any game end in a tie? Yes -420 / No +300
Ties are rare, but they are not as rare as they used to be. Why? The overtime period lasts just ten-minute snow, instead of 15 like it used to. Also, you can’t come down and kick a field goal to win; if you do, the other team gets a chance with the ball as well. There were two ties in the 2018 campaign (in the first two weeks of the season), and there were none at all in 2017. If you’re following value, you will bet “No” here.Will any team win more than 13 ½ games? Yes -115 / No -125
Getting to 14 wins is extremely difficult, especially in the parity era of the National Football League. Even the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots lost more than two games, thanks to some early stumbles. No team looks really dominant on paper right now; even though Kansas City has a dynamic offense, they also had some defensive issues last year. I would pick “No” here just because of the parity — the top teams get tougher schedules the following year, making a 14-win season even more difficult.Will any team lose more than 13 ½ games? Yes +110 / No -150
The worst record in the NFL last year was 3-13. If there is a team that could lose 14 games this season, it is Arizona, who got rid of quarterback Josh Rosen to bring in Kyler Murray — and got fleeced by the Miami Dolphins to do so. There are three challenging opponents in the Cardinals’ division, and even having a last-place schedule won’t help them much. I’m going “Yes” thinking that Arizona might not even win a single game.Will any team finish with a 16-0 regular season? Yes +1050 / No -2150
Even the New England Patriots have way too many holes to go 16-0. In the NFC, the Saints and Rams look like the top two teams again, and the Saints lost to Tampa Bay last year, while the Rams lost to Philadelphia…at home. It’s incredibly difficult to run the table, especially when no team looks head and shoulders above the rest.Will all division winners win at least 9 games? Yes -300 / No +220
In 2018, all eight division winners won in double digits. If you look back four seasons, only three teams won their divisions with single digits. It has been five years since a team didn’t win at least nine games but still won their division. You don’t get much value for betting “Yes” here, but you pretty much get a guaranteed $100 profit on your $300 bet.Will any team finish with an 0-16 regular season? Yes +1500 / No -4500
Cleveland did it in 2017. Detroit did it in 2008. Those are the only two teams to go a whole regular season without a win since the schedule grew to its current 16 games. I’m tempted to get those 15-to-1 odds knowing that the Arizona Cardinals are in the league, but there are other prop bets that are even more likely to bring me money.Will any team hit the Super Bowl with an 18-0 record? Yes +1500 / No -4500
We saw this in 2007 when New England went into the Super Bowl with an 18-0 record and got shocked by the New York Giants. You’re only getting 15-to-1 odds on something that has only happened one time, so I’m not sure I’d jump on this, and the value on the “No” answer isn’t particularly good.Bonus Prop Bet #8
- Will any team win the Super Bowl to complete a 19-0 season? Yes +1800 / No -5400
