Training camps all across the country are set to open over the next few days as the smell of NFL football fills the air. BetOnline is getting sports bettors ready for the new season with a full complement of NFL futures and props posted on their site including the betting odds to win this year’s AFC title.
The 2015-16 NFL season will conclude with Super Bowl 50 taking place in the San Francisco Bay Area. We have a solid idea of who the favorites are to make it to the game’s biggest stage, but who are the underdogs that could have a puncher’s chance to shock the world when it’s all said and done?
The 2015 Super Bowl between New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks gave fans the drama we crave when it comes to the biggest game of the year. Will both franchises be back on the game’s grandest stage in 2016?
The San Diego Chargers went 9-7 during the 2014-15 NFL season, which was good enough for a tie with the Kansas City Chiefs for second place in the AFC West Division. Both teams finished behind the Denver Broncos, who are favored to win the division again in 2016.
The Kansas City Chiefs went 9-7 during the 2014-15 NFL season, which was good enough for a tie with the San Diego Chargers for second place in the AFC West Division.
The Denver Broncos went 12-4 last year, which was good enough for an AFC West Division Championship, as well as a tie with the New England Patriots for the best record in the AFC.
The Oakland Raiders went 3-13 during the 2014-15 NFL season, which put them in dead last in the AFC West Division. Although exceeding a three-win year won’t be difficult — and should ultimately come to fruition — coming anywhere near competing for a divisional title is beyond a pipe dream at this point in the process.
What a crop of offensive talent coming into the NFL this year. We have strong 2015 NFL offensive rookie of the year candidates at all three of the major offensive positions.
2014 was certainly one worth forgetting for gang green. The N.Y. Jets finished a pitiful 4-12, with wins over the lowly Raiders and Titans and a meaningless week 17 victory over the Dolphins. Beating the Steelers in week 10 was about the only feather in the team’s cap a year ago.
The Dolphins failed to make the post season once again in 2014, posting a record of 8-8 and finishing third in the AFC East. That record should not be factored in when weighing how good this team can actually be.
We continue to inch closer and closer to the start of another season of football in the NFL and Bovada continues to fine-tune its 2015 NFL futures odds.
It’s put-up-or-shut-up time for the 2015 Miami Dolphins. Like a couple of other teams within their division, the Dolphins have a roster with some talented players and others players with tons of upside. Yet, the Fish have finished 8-8 the past two seasons and haven’t made the playoffs in years.
In Jetsland, out is oft-publicized head coach Rex Ryan and in his place steps another defensive guy, former Arizona co-ordinator Todd Bowles. Ryan’s replacement is respected in the business and, unlike his predecessor, is intent on building the Jets into a respectable offensive team as well as remaining stout defensively.
Understandably, there is a lot of optimism in western New York about the arrival of new head coach Rex Ryan. Particularly with the suspension of Tom Brady, QB of the divisional top dog New England Patriots, Ryan’s player-friendly attitude and zest for defense should bode well for a respectable Bills roster.
The Buffalo Bills posted a respectable 9-7 record in 2014, finishing as the runners up in the AFC East to the eventual Super Bowl champion New England Patriots.
If the Bills want to finally get over the hump and compete for a division title and a long awaited playoff berth they’re going to need a fast start to the season. The Patriots will be without QB Tom Brady for the first four games of the season, which could leave the door wide open for the Bills to get an early lead and force the Pats to play catch up.
The start of the 2015 NFL Betting season is still a couple of months away, but that doesn’t mean it’s too early for bettors to begin looking for value on the sportsbook gambling board. With rosters largely set with the draft and free agency behind us, bettors have a good idea of what they can expect each team’s roster will look like.
