The Giants didn’t exactly hit rock bottom last season but it was definitely a disappointment.
The NFL teams have gotten their mini-camps underway, giving us our first look at the newest NFLers in their team colors. With odds already out for the Offensive Rookie of the Year award, we have an opportunity to make some money on the backs of these players.
The start of the 2014 NFL season is still a ways away, but lines are already available as far out as Week 16 (lines aren’t yet set for Week 17 because it’s too early to predict whether teams will have something to play for, making those lines too difficult to set).
5 Teams That Need to Do the Most on Draft Day(s)
The draft is probably the most important day(s) of the year and teams are looking to improve their talent base, excite their fans and maybe put one over on their opponents.
The NFL Draft is nearly upon us…finally. With some extra time to prepare thanks to the May date players have been picked at like never before and now we have the moment of truth. Below are who I think the top 10 picks will be.
The San Diego Chargers snuck into the playoffs last season but don’t let their surprise success fool you into thinking this is not a team looking to upgrade in a number of areas.
The Colts won’t be very active in the 2014 NFL Draft, as they possess a league-low five picks. Their first selection isn’t until late in the second round and they will have to hunt and peck to find players that can make a contribution on the roster.
Draft Preview

2014 Draft Preview

2014 Draft Preview
The Jags could be slated to bring in a nice haul from the 2014 NFL Draft, with their 10 picks. To be frank, this is a franchise that needs it badly.
2014 Draft Preview
The Houston Texans were a hot mess last year, but they are reaping the benefits come 2014 Draft Day. Houston’s 11 picks is the most it has possessed since 2002, when the Texans selected a dozen players.
The Dallas Cowboys saw another playoff spot slip away from them in a Week 17 heartbreaker. Tony Romo wasn’t around for that final game, though he will be back in time for the start of the regular season.
The New England Patriots really had their depth put to the test last season after some injuries left them vulnerable at many key positions.

The New York Jets were written off by many a year ago, but the team had a strong season with some big wins, finishing the year at .500. This season, the team looks to better that mark, and they spent some money in free agency to help achieve that goal.
The Buffalo Bills are coming off another disappointing season, and enter this year’s draft with some major holes to fill. The team’s brain trust of general manager Doug Whaley and head coach Doug Marrone proved right off the bat that they aren’t afraid to go off the board, selecting EJ Manuel in the first round a year ago.
