These 7 NFL Prop Bets Should Be Money In The Bank For 2018 Season

If you look in the news today, you’ll see that the NFL’s new policy for the national anthem is roiling the airwaves on both sides of the political aisle. For sports betting enthusiasts, though, the real news has to do with how the 32 teams will do once the regular season opens in September. It’s always fun to bet on the games, week in and week out, but there are also some prop bets for the season as a whole that you can use to build your gambling winnings. Take a look at seven NFL prop bets for you to consider for the coming fall.

The New York Giants will win more than 6 ½ games

They drafted Saquon Barkley to give a jolt to their offense — and they also reworked their offensive line, adding Will Hernandez and Nate Solder. The Giants should also re-sign Odell Beckham Jr., giving Eli Manning a target in what promises to be a redemption season for him. So while the Giants fell off the table last year, having a new coach to go along with these additions should give the Giants a surprise. The Redskins will stumble a bit adding Alex Smith, and Dallas still doesn’t have much of a defense.

So will Tampa Bay

The Buccaneers added some speed and power to their defensive line in the draft and through free agency. Jameis Winston had a bit of a meltdown down the stretch, but if he can bounce back and show that he has developed some more maturity, the Buccaneers could be a wild card sleeper in a tough NFC. Their linebackers and defensive backfield were already above average, and they’re in a division with one quarterback  who is definitely pushing the envelope in terms of age, with New Orleans’ Drew Brees and another who may or may not be on top of his game in Cam Newton.

Minnesota will win more than 10 games

They’re adding Kirk Cousins at quarterback, which means they’re getting a stronger arm than the one Case Keenum gave them. Interestingly, the Vikings had three quarterbacks who could start but jettisoned all three, with Keenum now in Denver, Teddy Bridgewater with the Jets, and Sam Bradford down in Arizona now. With Dalvin Cook coming back from injury and a defense that returns all its starters after dominating the NFL a year ago (well, until the NFC Championship), this is a team that should win the NFC North again.

Arizona will finish under 5 ½ wins

Their offensive line is, to be kind, an area of growth for this team. The quarterback group of Sam Bradford, Mike Glennon and Josh Rosen is definitely a rebuilding crew. Bradford is the journeyman to lead the team until Rosen is ready. David Johnson will be back to run the ball, but the line won’t be helping him much. It doesn’t help that the 49ers got a franchise quarterback for virtually nothing from New England last year, and that the Rams are terrific too. Oh, and the Seahawks are still dangerous. So it will be a tough season in the desert.

Buffalo will win more than 6 ½ games

Tyrod Taylor led this team to a wild card playoff spot — and he has never shown signs that he can be a real franchise quarterback. AJ McCarron gets a turn leading the offense now, and he did show some signs of talent when filling in for Andy Dalton a couple years ago. He’ll either grab the starting job and run with it or be a placeholder for Josh Allen. Either way, the grinding style of this team gives them an edge over the Jets and the Dolphins in the East.

Indianapolis will finish under 6 ½ wins

Andrew Luck has not thrown a standard football in front of a public audience in almost two seasons. He’s in a division with three stout teams — Tennessee, Houston and Jacksonville — all of which have solid defenses. If Luck shows too much rust — or if the Colts have to go with Jacoby Brissett from the get-go — then this total could go even lower.

Denver will win more than 7 games

Adding Case Keenum at quarterback makes this a decent team on offense again — if the line can block for Keenum and open holes for the running games. Adding Bradley Chubb to the pass rush with Von Miller makes the Broncos a nasty defense too. They have a rookie quarterback in Kansas City, a new head coach without a running back in Oakland, and an unpredictable Chargers team in their division, so they could win the West.
