Denver Broncos +1600
Denver doesn’t have a ton of experience at the position and second-year QB Drew Lock, who made just five starts in his rookie year, is expected to be QB1. Pass on a wager here.
Las Vegas Raiders +2500
Despite the fact Derek Carr had career-best marks in completion percentage (70.4) and passing yards (4,054) last year, it just feels like the Raiders aren’t that committed to him. Could Newton be a fit here as the team continues to be reshaped in head coach Jon Gruden’s mold? Personally, it would be a poor move — but, this feels just like a move the Raiders would entertain. I’m down with a small-unit wager here, but the team’s recent signing of Marcus Mariota (Titans) tempers that bet.
Pittsburgh Steelers +2500
Ben Roethlisberger, 38, isn’t getting any younger and missed all but two games a year ago. Did the team see enough out of Mason Rudolph, a third-year pro, last year to believe he can be QB1 moving forward? I think so. Pass on a wager here.
