Super Bowl 59 Winner Pick

GB Packers Win Super Bowl 59(+2000)Super Bowl 59

Reasoning

There are a number of different ways to look at betting a Super Bowl longshot, but I believe the Packers are a great option at the current price. This was a team that outperformed expectations last season in the first year of the Jordan Love experience at quarterback. Now in year 2, I expect another leap forward from Love, who had an exceptional second half of the season culminating in a fantastic performance in Dallas to knock off the #2 seed Cowboys in the Wild Card round. Given that head coach Matt LaFleur’s track record with quarterbacks has been excellent at each of his NFL stops, I see no reason to expect anything less than a strong season from Love, potentially one that could put him on the fringes of the MVP race.

Due to its plethora of young talent at the skill positions, this Green Bay offense has tremendous upside and unlike the Bengals, the Packers are fortunate enough to play in the far inferior AFC. While the NFC North saw the improvement of the Bears in the offseason, the Packers’ schedule is still quite manageable, with their only challenging road games coming against the Lions and Bears. Many of Green Bay’s toughest games come at Lambeau Field and the Packers only have one instance of back-to-back road games this season (and even then, the second game comes 10 days after the first). It all sets up very nicely for Green Bay to steal the division title from the Detroit Lions and host at least one playoff game come January. Ultimately, it all starts and ends with the quarterback position. If Love plays like he did over the second half of last season, a deep playoff run is on the table in Green Bay.

Super Bowl 59 Winner Pick

CIN Bengals Win Super Bowl 59(+1400)Super Bowl 59

Reasoning

I came into last season with a pretty negative outlook on the Bengals given the general strength of the AFC North and a very difficult schedule. As it turns out, that skepticism was warranted, as Cincinnati looked like a team that wasn’t quite on the level of the Ravens or Chiefs, even before Joe Burrow ultimately suffered a wrist injury and missed the rest of the season as a result. However, I’m going in the complete opposite direction this time around, as the path to a championship might be smoother than its ever been for Burrow and company this season. With multiple years of postseason experience under their belt and a bad taste in their mouths following a disappointing 2023 campaign, the Bengals should play with something to prove this fall.

One massive leg-up that the Bengals have compared to many of their AFC counterparts is one of the friendliest schedules in the league, a product of their last place finish in the AFC North a season ago. As a result, the Bengals have the 5th-easiest schedule in the NFL this season based on win total projections. That’s a colossal break for a Cincinnati team that returns the bulk of its talented and experienced offense, plus a defense that added Geno Stone and Vonn Bell to bolster the secondary. The Bengals are projected to be favored in at least 12 of their 17 games this season, and they should be able to establish an early lead over fellow challengers for the top spot in the AFC North thanks to an easy schedule to open the campaign. If the AFC title is to run through Cincinnati — as opposed to the likes of Kansas City or Baltimore — then this number will certainly be much shorter by the time January rolls around. For that reason, I’ll gladly take a shot with the Bengals here.

What Are NFL Futures Bets

Another great way to bet on the NFL is through the futures markets and playoff predictions. The NFL Futures markets, as their name may suggest, offer longevity, with an entire season or remainder of the season still to play for depending on when you bet on them. Where a straight wager or a weekly NFL Parlay, is all over in a day, NFL Futures allow you to bet on a season-long bet.

The most popular NFL futures bets are either team-based or player-based futures. Team-based NFL futures will include winning it all with Super Bowl bets, as well as NFL Division Winners and NFL Conference Winners, or even an over/under on a team’s season win total.

Player-based NFL futures are betting on a player’s season performance, either through stats leaders, such as most passing, rushing, or receiving yards, or to scoop a prize at the NFL honors such as MVP, Offensive Rookie of The Year, or Comeback Player of the year to name a few.

Before the 2024/25 NFL season kicks off we’ll preview all of the top futures markets, while also closely monitoring the NFL week to week to highlight the best NFL futures bets as the season progresses and the playoff picture begins to take shape.

How To Bet On NFL Futures

Betting on NFL futures is just as simple as any other bet type. Simply head to your favorite sportsbook, and click on the NFL tab to find all of the current NFL markets available. Also, be sure to check out the best online sportsbook promo codes for new player bonus offers.

The majority of online sportsbooks will either have an NFL futures section or possibly refer to the Futures markets as Outright Markets, click whichever of these they use and you’ll find a list of odds for the available NFL futures markets. Depending on the time of the year you’ll find odds on everything from the Super Bowl Odds to Division and Conference winner odds and a variety of player stats and player awards odds. Timing is everything in NFL futures markets so be sure to keep checking out when our experts release their picks, predictions, and analysis across all of the NFL futures markets.

NFL Futures – 2024-25 AFC & NFC Championship Predictions

You can bet on NFL Conference Championship Game futures both on the AFC Championship and NFC Championship Winners pretty much from Super Bowl to Super Bowl. Bettors may opt to bet on a team to win their conferences rather than the Super Bowl as a safer option if they’re confident in having found the best team in the AFC or NFC or if they’re looking to hedge a Super Bowl Pick. Our expert NFL handicappers will be on hand ahead of the 2024/25 NFL season to preview both NFL conferences and break down the contenders and best NFL Conference Futures bets heading into the season.

NFL Futures – 2024-25 NFL Division Predictions

Similar to the NFL Conference Futures, the NFL Division Futures is another way to have a season-long bet on a team you like to win their division. Some divisions will have short odds favorites like the Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, and San Francisco 49ers will be minus-money favorites, but picking against these or in the more competitive NFL divisions provides big odds winners year on year. Our expert NFL handicappers will be on hand ahead of the 2024/25 NFL season to preview all eight of the NFL divisions, the contenders, and the best NFL Division Futures bets heading into the season. Be sure to check out our previews and predictions ahead of the NFL Wildcard Weekend and NFL Divisional Round games once the regular season has concluded.

2024-25 NFL Award Predictions

NFL Awards are a talking point amongst experts and fans alike throughout the entire NFL season. The main NFL Honors Awards will be available to bet on at the top sportsbooks, with odds available on markets such as NFL MVP, NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, NFL Comeback Player of the Year, and many more throughout the season. Our expert NFL handicappers preview all of the top NFL player awards markets, making their predictions on the best value plays on each. We’ll look at previous awards trends, stats, positions, schedules, and more to determine our NFL Award Predictions.

2024-25 NFL MVP Odds & NFL MVP Predictions

The biggest and most talked-about award of the NFL season is in some way the NFL MVP Odds and contenders. In a true team sport, everyone wants to chase the biggest of all personal accolades, and many NFL fans and bettors will get in on the action too. The NFL MVP race is one that has been dominated by quarterbacks, with only Adrian Peterson in 2007, and LaDainian Tomlinson in 2006 the two non-quarterback-winning MVPs in the last 15 years. The NFL MVP Odds will reflect this and be quarterback top-heavy and our NFL Betting experts will break down all the front-runners, the best NFL MVP Odds, and even those longshot sprinkle plays in the NFL MVP race.

NFL Futures Player Stats Predictions

Aside from the awards, the other way to wager on NFL Player Futures bets is through stats-based performance measurables. These can either be to lead the league in a certain category such as Passing Yards, Rushing Yards, Receiving Yards, or in Interceptions or Sacks. Each stat category will be priced by all the leading sportsbooks and our NFL Futures Player Stat Predictions will analyze the best NFL Player Stats Predictions ahead of the 2024 season. You can also wager on over/under markets for individual players in similar categories such as passing, rushing, or receiving yard categories.

NFL futures markets are among the places that bettors can find the best value and is an area our NFL handicappers will always look to capitalize on. With mercurial research of every possible outcome, you can rest assured that there will always be value with our futures predictions.
