With so much parity in the NFL nowadays, it is pretty difficult to accurately project a full season of games, not to mention the unknown factor of numerous key injuries. However, we love betting on NFL Futures so we forge ahead. We wager throughout the season so we will adjust our opinion of teams weekly, even it it goes against some of our projections. In the end, we always end up winning more on our Futures than losing, which is the ultimate goal. When it comes to wagering, we always recommend to have multiple locations to get your lines since lines, particularly with Futures, can vary quite a bit from place-to-place so get the best number you can. When reviewing our numbers, you’ll see that we expect no happiness in the New York market until hockey season, Johnny Football not being able to save the Mistake By The Lake, joy in the Midwest as the Colts and the Bears have victorious years and the Rams to toil in misery – actually, when looking at their schedule, Bradford would not have been much help. It is a brutal line-up of games for them.

After being close enough to the Lombardi trophy to spray some polish on it, the Niners will finally break through this year. They currently look like they will start the season off slowly, but they will kick it into a different gear as the season wears on. They have the depth to make a run to the championship from the wildcard bracket as well.
