NFL Analysis: Breaking Down the Win Totals in the AFC

With the first week of preseason action beginning Thursday, it’s a perfect time to check on the win totals across the AFC at Caesars, DraftKings and FanDuel Sportsbooks.

Breaking down the NFC Win Totals

New England Patriots

Miami Dolphins

New York Jets

Aside from Miami being listed at 9 wins at DraftKings, and Caesars and FanDuel hanging an 8.5 win total for the Dolphins, the three sportsbooks have the same win total for each of the other three teams in the division.

FanDuel has the best Over odds for the Bills, Patriots and Dolphins, whereas Caesars has the best Under number for each.

Cleveland Browns

Pittsburgh Steelers

With the Browns still a tough team to handicap because of the uncertainties surrounding quarterback Deshaun Watson’s status, it isn’t surprising to see inconsistent win totals and odds across the three sportsbooks.

Prospective bettors can pick and choose their numbers for the most part between the three books. However, there’s definitely a notable disparity at Caesars with Pittsburgh listed at 7.5 wins and the Under at -135. FanDuel has the same win total with the Under trading at -115.

Tennessee Titans

Jacksonville Jaguars

Houston Texans

It’s easy to pick your price with the Jaguars and Texans, as the three books all have the same win totals.

The Titans and Colts are interesting, though. 

Indianapolis winning 11 games and going over the total at DraftKings is still juiced at -105, whereas hitting the Over with 10 wins at Caesars and FanDuel has an even stiffer vig at -145 and -160, respectively. The immediate takeaway is both bookmakers and bettors have a lot of faith in the Colts.

Tennessee is just the opposite. With the Under having the higher vig, and it’s no surprise after they’ve been touted as a popular Under candidate throughout the offseason. 

AFC West Win Totals Breakdown

Kansas City Chiefs

Los Angeles Chargers

Denver Broncos

Las Vegas Raiders

Expected to be one of the most exciting divisions in the NFL this season, all four teams are projected to have a winning record according to the wins totals from the three sportsbooks.

Additionally, the only team with an inconsistent win total is the Broncos, with FanDuel hanging a 9.5 total compared to the 10 trading at Caesars and DraftKings.
