If you crave some NFL betting action in the off-season, then you should take a look at some the future bets available such as NFL team season win totals. Sportsbook.com (Sportsbook.com Review) has posted under/over win totals for each pro football team for the 2007/2008 season.
If you are not familiar with this wager, it's quite simple. You can choose to lay your action on whether a team will win more or less than the wagering line that the sports betting shop has posted. For example at the time of writing, the Arizona Cardinals had a win total of 7. You then could choose under or over the 7 wins depending on what your handicapping research has determined.
So now that we've covered the bet type, let's take a look at this year's early lines. There is a couple that I have no clue what the bookmaker was thinking. How can you put the Broncos at 9.5. They only had 9 victories last season and lost 5 of their last 7 games of the season. There once mighty defense allowed 261 points in their last 10 games and sure Cutler has some promise, but I wouldn't be placing any of my bankroll on him being a top flight QB in 2008. Another total that I like is the 6 win line posted on the Detroit Lions. The Lions had all kinds of injury issues on both sides of the line last season and hey this will be Martz's second year running what in my opinion is a talented group.
Below are posted the win total lines on each NFL team.
Arizona Cardinals o7.0(-140)
Atlanta Falcons o7.5(-150)
Baltimore Ravens o9.0(-135)
Buffalo Bills o6.0(-120)
