As summer begins to wind down, football fans across the country are gearing up for the start of the NFL season. While the leaves may not have started to change color and pumpkin spice may not be everywhere just yet, it’s time to start thinking about placing some bets on the upcoming season.
If you’re looking to get in on the action early, here are three team totals that you should consider hammering the over on.
First up, the Houston Texans. After a surprising 10-7 season that saw them earn a playoff berth, the Texans made some big moves in the offseason to build on their success. With the addition of star wide receiver Stefon Diggs and running back Joe Mixon, the Texans’ offense is poised to be one of the best in the league. If their defense can hold opponents to under 21-27 points per game, as expected under coach DeMeco Ryans, the Texans should easily surpass their win total from last season. Take the over on 9.5 wins for the Texans.
Next, the New England Patriots. After a disappointing season that saw them finish with only four wins, the Patriots made some changes in the offseason, including bringing in new head coach Jerod Mayo. With a renewed sense of optimism in Foxborough, the Patriots should be able to improve on last season’s record. Take the over on 4.5 wins for the Patriots.
Lastly, the Cleveland Browns. Despite dealing with multiple quarterback changes and the absence of star running back Nick Chubb last season, the Browns still managed to win 11 games. With a strong defense led by Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett, the Browns should be able to build on last season’s success. Take the over on 8.5 wins for the Browns.
As the NFL preseason kicks off and the regular season draws closer, now is the perfect time to start placing your bets on the upcoming season. Keep an eye on these three teams and consider hammering the over on their win totals for the best chance at a successful season.
