It might be the novelty of the current NFL offseason. But even with the 2022 season still months away, there are a number of teams that have undergone considerable personnel changes and should be exciting to watch next fall.

Here’s a look at three NFL teams that we are excited to watch and their current betting lines at Caesars Sportsbook, DraftKings Sportsbook, and FanDuel Sportsbook.

Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles made a statement with the acquisition of wide receiver A.J. Brown from the Tennessee Titans, and they might quickly prove to have one of the most exciting offenses in the league.

Brown is joined by 2021 first-round selection DeVonta Smith atop the wide receiver depth chart, and tight end Dallas Goedert likely still has more to offer as a receiver. Add a solid stable of running backs led by Miles Sanders, and Philadelphia should be difficult to slow down if dual-threat quarterback Jalen Hurts can take another step forward in his third season.

The Dallas Cowboys are the favorites to win the NFC East, but the Eagles soaring to the top of the division shouldn’t surprise. A conference championship or Super Bowl victory is probably out of reach, but it’s definitely worth noting Caesars is still hanging a decent number with +4000 for them to win the Super Bowl.

For reference, the Eagles were +5000 to win Super Bowl LVII before acquiring Brown from the Titans during the first round of the NFL Draft.

The Eagles are -110 to make the playoffs at Caesars, and their wins prop has an Over/Under of 8.5 at both DraftKings and FanDuel.

Miami Dolphins

Adding speedy wide receiver Tyreek Hill immediately improves the Miami offense. Third-year quarterback Tua Tagovailoa already has proven chemistry with wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and tight end Mike Gesicki, and Hill joining the fold should create matchup nightmares for opposing defenses.

Obviously, while there’s still a lot of work ahead for the Dolphins, the organization is at least committed to being competitive. It was reaffirmed with the signing of left tackle Terron Armstead in free agency. He’s a three-time Pro Bowler, after all.

Miami is behind both the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots to win the AFC East, and the division is tough with Buffalo the consensus Super Bowl favorite. For what it’s worth, the Dolphins have a 7-5 record against AFC East opponents over the past two years.

The conference and championship odds are particularly interesting with FanDuel hanging a significantly higher return than Caesars and to a lesser extent DraftKings. Prospective Miami bettors will want to take advantage of the better lines FanDuel is offering.

The Dolphins are +140 to make the playoffs at Caesars, and their wins prop has an Over/Under of 9 at DraftKings and 8.5 at FanDuel.

Denver Broncos

The Broncos already boasted one of the better defenses in the league, so the addition of nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson makes Denver a legitimate Super Bowl contender, right?

Maybe, maybe not.

On paper, the weapons surrounding Wilson are outstanding, but wide receivers Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton are long on potential and short on production to this stage of their respective careers. Running backs Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon do project as a high-end, one-two punch out of the backfield, though.

There’s little difference in the noted Denver offerings, and the Broncos have the second longest odds to win the AFC West at DraftKings and Fanduel. Caesars has both Denver and the Los Angeles Chargers at +250 to win the division behind the Kansas City Chiefs at +160.

If you value bookmaker’s opinions, their posted odds affirm their belief the Broncos are Super Bowl contenders now that Wilson’s under center.

The Broncos are -170 to make the playoffs at Caesars, and their wins prop has an Over/Under of 10 at DraftKings and 10.5 at FanDuel.
