Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL Gambling Odds & 2015 Handicapping Preview

2015 Tampa Bay Predictions

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers enter the 2015-16 NFL Season looking to start a new era. That era would be the one where No. 1 overall pick Jameis Winston starts to turn around the identity of this franchise for the better.

Atlanta Falcons 2015 Gambling Odds & Handicapping Preview

2015 Atlanta Predictions

The Atlanta Falcons enter the 2015-16 NFL Season looking to continue redeeming themselves for the disappointment they’ve put on display the past few seasons. Although last year was hardly able to make up for failing to exceed recent expectations, it was a step in the right direction — a step that this franchise will look to build upon this year.

Seattle Seahawks 2015 Gambling Odds & Handicapping Preview

2015 Seattle Predictions

The Seattle Seahawks enter the 2015-16 NFL Season with yet another target on their backs. Not only have they been to back-to-back Super Bowls, but they are an incredibly balanced team with a defense that makes the world ‘elite’ seem like an understatement.

New Orleans Saints 2015 Gambling Odds & Handicapping Preview

2015 New Orleans Predictions

The New Orleans Saints enter the 2015-16 NFL Season looking to avenge a lackluster 7-9 campaign in an attempt to return to elite levels. They have the luxury of playing in a weak NFC South division, but here’s the catch: They’re aren’t just playing in a weak division; they’re part of the reason the division has become weak in recent seasons.

St. Louis Rams 2015 Gambling Odds & Handicapping Preview

2015 St. Louis Predictions

The St. Louis Rams enter the 2015-16 NFL Season with their heads held high, but it’s tough to imagine them forcing the likes of the Seattle Seahawks or Arizona Cardinals into a battle for the divisional crown by the time the regular season comes to a close.

Arizona Cardinals 2015 Gambling Odds & Handicapping Preview

2015 Arizona Predictions

The Arizona Cardinals enter the 2015-16 NFL Season looking to make up for a terrible finish to their 2014-15 campaign. Despite starting 9-1, this group went on to finish just 11-5. For those keeping track at home, that’s a 2-4 finish — a finish due to the loss of both Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton to the injury bug.

San Francisco 49ers 2015 Gambling Odds & Handicapping Preview

2015 San Francisco Predictions

The San Francisco 49ers enter the 2015-16 NFL Season as the big losers of the offseason. The hope following the conclusion of 2014-15 was that an 8-8 season was going to be an anomaly of a down year, but there’s virtually no scenario where you can make the case a bounce-back year is in order for this group from the Bay Area.

Carolina Panthers NFL Gambling Odds & 2015 Handicapping Preview

2015 Carolina Predictions

The Carolina Panthers enter the 2015-16 NFL Season as back-to-back NFC South champions, yet that hardly makes them a favorite to do so a third time. This group took full advantage of a weak division last season, and it has a clear goal of improving upon a 7-8-1 record.

Houston Texans NFL Gambling Odds & 2015 Handicapping Preview

2015 Houston Predictions

The 2014 Houston Texans were a very quiet 9-7 team. A winning season and a +65 point differential might suggest that this team isn’t far off from returning to their 2011 and 2012 form when they won the AFC South back to back years, going 22-10 over that stretch.

New England Patriots NFL Gambling Odds & 2015 Handicapping Preview

2015 New England Predictions

The reigning Super Bowl champion Patriots have long been the toast of the AFC East. This year should be a little different as both the Bills and Dolphins improved with their offseason acquisitions and the Pats will likely be without Tom Brady for the first four games of the regular season.

Indianapolis Colts NFL Gambling Odds & 2015 Handicapping Preview

2015 Indianapolis Predictions

Last year was a coming out party of sorts for Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts. A division title and a trip to the AFC Championship game where they lost to the eventual Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. Indy is primed to make another deep run this year, and odds makers see it that way too as the Colts are the favourites to win the AFC.

New York Jets NFL Gambling Odds & 2015 Handicapping Preview

2015 NYJ Predictions

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.

Miami Dolphins NFL Gambling Odds & 2015 Handicapping Preview

2015 Miami Predictions

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.
