With so much parity in the NFL today, it’s quite difficult to accurately project an entire season of games, not to mention the unknown factor of numerous key injuries. However, we love to bet on the futures of the NFL, so we keep moving forward. We are betting throughout the season so we will adjust our opinion of the teams on a weekly basis, even if it goes against some of our projections. In the end, we always end up winning more in our Futures than losing, which is the ultimate goal. When it comes to betting, we always recommend having multiple locations to get your lines, as lines, particularly with Futures, can vary quite a bit from place to place, so get the best number you can. As you review our numbers, you will see that we do not expect happiness in the New York market until the hockey season, Johnny Football could not save the error by the lake, joy in the Midwest while the Colts and Bears have victorious years and the Rams to work in misery; in fact, looking at his schedule, Bradford wouldn’t have been of much help. It’s a brutal lineup of games for them.

After getting close enough to the Lombardi Trophy to sprinkle it a bit, the Niners will finally break through this year. Currently, it looks like they will start the season slowly, but they will put it in a different gear as the season progresses. They also have the depth to reach the championship from the wild card group.
