NFL Futures Check-in
We are about halfway through the NFL season so figured I would use this as an opportunity to see where our futures stand!
NFL Futures Bets
Individual futures:
Settled - The best handicapping I did all year as these 4 immediately jumped once the season began to the top of the odds board and sat there until Josh got fired
Loss - 1u Ron Rivera First Coach Fired +700
Win - 0.75u Josh McDaniels First Coach Fired +1000
Loss - 0.5u Matt Eberflus First Coach Fired +1400
Loss - 0.5u Brandon Staley First Coach Fired +1600
Pending - in short- hot garbage by me
0.5u Russell Wilson under 3700.5 passing yards -120 - Through 8 games, Wilson has 1600 passing yards so it seems we are on the right track!
0.25u Desmond Ridder over 14.5 passing TDs -115 - He got benched last week so that isn’t great. He was only at 6 TDs through 8 games so was unlikely to hit this
0.25u Desmond Ridder over 2650.5 passing yards -105 - He was however at 1700 yards passing so this was very much in play and might still be in play if they start him again
0.5u Garrett Wilson over 7.5 receiving TDs -115 - He is currently at 2 TDs and with the disaster at QB, this is looking bad
0.5u Christian Watson over 5.5 receiving TDs -110 - He ended up hurt for most of the season so this is looking piss poor
0.5u Brandin Cooks over 775.5 receiving yards -105 - can’t seem to get anything going on the Cowboys offense
0.5u Aaron Jones over rushing yards 825.5 -120 - another one who has been hurt and this is looking rather bad.
Team futures (0.5u each):
Denver Broncos under 8.5 -125 - they are 3-5 right now so we are well on our way here
Detroit Lions under 9.5 +100 - they are 6-2 and this looks like a sure loser
Green Bay Packers over 7.5 -135 - they are 3-5 and are going to need some help to get to this number
Las Vegas Raiders under 6.5 -150 - somehow 4-5 and I do not really understand how. Should be interesting to see if the new coach bounce wears off
Los Angeles Rams over 6.5 +105 - 3-6 and just signed Carson Wentz. Not great.
New England Patriots over 7 +100 - One of the worst records in the entire NFL
Philadelphia Eagles under 11.5 -135 - They have looked shakey each week but seem to keep winning
Awards (0.25u each)1:
Settled
Loss- OPOY Nick Chubb +1400 - He got hurt.
Pending
DPOY Micah Parsons +550 - He and Garret are part of a 3-horse race
DPOY Myles Garrett +800 - see above
MVP Jalen Hurts +1100 - currently second on the odds board at +350
MVP Dak Prescott +2500 - he is down to 50-1 right now
CJ Stroud most INTs +2000 - yeah this is NOT happening
Cleveland Browns most improved regular season team +1200 - This is still in play
Mike Tomlin Coach of the Year +2000 - Currently 14-1 and going to have to pull off more magic and a run like he did last year
Mike McCarthy Coach of the Year +3500 - this is all but dead
Dallas Cowboys best record +1400 - Was in play until they lost Sunday night
Division futures (0.5u each):
AFC North → Cleveland Browns +340 - Still very much in the picture
AFC South → Tennessee Titans +325 - Horrible division and they do not look like a challenger
NFC North → Green Bay Packers +340 - Lions appear to be for real
NFC South → Atlanta Falcons +175 -1 game back in a terrible division
Playoff futures:
To make/miss the playoffs
1u Denver Broncos to miss the playoffs -200 - looking good
0.5u Atlanta Falcons to make the playoffs -115 - still in play
0.5u Cleveland Browns to make the playoffs -115 - still in play
0.5u Detroit Lions to miss the playoffs +140 - all but dead
AFC winner
1u Buffalo Bills +550 - I think still very much in it, but D is a problem
1u Cincinnati Bengals +550 - They are finding their form
0.25u Cleveland Browns +2000 - Still alive
0.25u Pittsburgh Steelers +3500 - barely breathing
NFC winner
1u Dallas Cowboys +550 - I think still very much in it
0.25u Green Bay Packers +2300 - barely breathing
0.25u Atlanta Falcons +2800 - barely breathing
Super Bowl
0.5u Buffalo Bills +950 - I think still very much in it, but D is a problem
0.5u Cincinnati Bengals +1100 - I think still very much in it
0.5u Dallas Cowboys +1600 - I think still very much in it
I‘m betting Russell Wilson first QB benched +3300 but the limits are too low to be an official pick
