5 Over bets to make

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 9 (-139)

The Bucs won seven games a year ago with QB Jameis Winston throwing 30 interceptions and with a defense that was awful most of the year. They replaced Winston with QB Tom Brady. The offensive weapons are still there and defensive coordinator Todd Bowles’ defense will be better from Week 1 as he has a track record of very good defenses.

Arizona Cardinals 7 (-115)

The Cards’ potent offense in 2019 will be even better. QB Kyler Murray enters his second year after an Offensive Rookie of the Year performance in 2019. RB Kenyan Drake will be there the whole season and they added WR DeAndre Hopkins. In free agency, they upgraded three starting spots. If the defense, which was almost the worst in the league in 2019, is only okay, they should still win more than seven games.

Detroit Lions 6.5 (-125)

The Lions won only three games last season but that can be attributed to QB Matthew Stafford being injured. They won three of eight games when he played. The defense improved in the offseason. They are good for a 7-9 or 8-8 season.

Houston Texans 7.5 (-150)

Despite what you think about head coach Bill O’Brien, Houston has had double-digit wins each of the last two seasons. That has more to do with QB Deshaun Watson than O’Brien. They did lose Hopkins to the Cardinals in a trade but he now has RB David Johnson, WR Randall Cobb and WR Brandin Cooks. They will still be relevant in the AFC South.

Indianapolis Colts 8.5 (-154)

The Colts won seven games in 2019 with Jacoby Brissett at quarterback. Now they have an aging Philip Rivers but there is no doubt he is better than Brissett. The offensive weapons are still there and the defense is still talented.

2020 NFL team win totals: 5 Under bets to make

Looking at 2020 NFL team win totals and picking 5 Under bets to make.

The Over/Under win totals for every NFL team are posted at BetMGM, and while a lot of teams seem poised to go Over their projected number, it’s difficult to predict which ones will come in Under the projection in a disappointing 2020 campaign.

We’ve picked out five Under bets to make this year, expecting all five of these teams to come up short in 2020. The New York Giants and Cleveland Browns have been disappointments for years with little hope of turning around, while the Las Vegas Raiders, Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears have quarterback questions to answer.

New York Giants: 6.5 (-125)

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday, April 11 at 9:15 a.m. ET.

The Giants have averaged only four wins per season over the last three years and it’s not as if they’ve improved during that span, either. Last season, they went 4-12 with an abysmal minus-110 point differential. QB Daniel Jones and RB Saquon Barkley carry promise on offense, but there are durability concerns with Barkley, TE Evan Engram, WR Sterling Shepard and the offensive line has yet to be fixed. It’s hard to feel confident in the Giants winning at least seven games, which they’ve done just once since 2014.

Las Vegas Raiders: 7.5 (-115)

The Raiders are still rebuilding and don’t know exactly who their quarterback will be. They’ve won more than seven games only once since 2012 and have numerous holes on their roster needing to be filled – primarily at wide receiver and in the secondary. Whether it’s Derek Carr or Marcus Mariota running the show under center, the Raiders won’t be a .500 team. Take the Under and lock them in with a losing record in 2020.

Chicago Bears: 8.5 (-125)

Like the Raiders, the Bears have a quarterback controversy on their hands. Mitchell Trubisky will have to fend off Nick Foles this offseason, though neither QB is a very good option in Chicago. The Bears have plenty of talent on defense with Khalil Mack, Akiem Hicks, Roquan Smith and Eddie Jackson, but the offense doesn’t look like a unit that will strike fear in many opponents. They won’t win more than eight games next season.

Cleveland Browns: 8.5 (-130)

Until the Browns actually prove they’re not the same sub-.500 team they’ve been each year since 2007, I refuse to believe they’ve turned the corner. Cleveland was one of the most-hyped teams in the NFL before last season and all the Browns did was go 6-10 to finish third in the AFC North. QB Baker Mayfield, RB Nick Chubb, WR Odell Beckham Jr. and WR Jarvis Landry are all big-name players, but they must play up to expectations. Last season, they absolutely did not, and the defense wasn’t nearly good enough either. With another new head coach, there could be an adjustment period, too.

Indianapolis Colts: 8.5 (+130)

Say what you will about Philip Rivers, but it’s hard to watch his tape from recent years and think he can lead the Colts to the playoffs. The Over/Under of 8.5 wins is fairly high and I’m not ready to call Indianapolis a winning team, even with Rivers under center. They went 7-9 last season and 4-12 in the other season Andrew Luck missed (2017), so they’ve had very little success without the former franchise QB. Darius Leonard, Malik Hooker and T.Y. Hilton are reasons for optimism, as is the offensive line led by Quenton Nelson, but Rivers’ shaky play will be their undoing.
