NFL Futures Bets
I will be using DraftKings for all odds in this blog. Check out their NFL odds available here: DraftKings Sportsbook
Super Bowl:
Going into this season, I just don't see a world where the Chiefs or Ravens do not win it all. The Chiefs are +500 and the Ravens are +1000, so not bad value for either on either team.
If I were to go for some teams with a little longer odds, I would look towards the Bills at +1500 or even the Dolphins sitting at +2200.
Make The Playoffs:
I do not like to root for teams to NOT make the playoffs (other than the Packers of course) so I will just be selecting some teams with okay odds that I think could make the playoffs.
Bears -110, Bills -175, Rams +100, and Chargers +110.
Season Wins:
Dolphins over 9.5 -135
Bears over 8.5 -160
Raiders over 6.5 -130
Obviously the -160 and -130s are not the best value, so if you do not want to lay those odds, I would recommend going with the 2-team parlay: Bears over 8.5 and Dolphins over 9.5 wins at +182/
Player Props:
There may or may not be a little bias in this section. But here are my favorite season-long player props so far:
Caleb Williams to throw 25+ TD passes +115
Tua Tagovailoa and Aaron Rodgers 25+ pass TDs each +138
Keenan Allen 5+ Rec TDs -110
Rome Odunze 5+ Rec TDs +100
Caleb Williams 5+ rushing TDs +125
Wild Longshot Parlays:
Nothing better than some longshot parlays, even if I have little to no chance of winning!
Matthew Stafford, Jordan Love, Josh Allen, and Tua Tagovailoa each pass for 4,000+ yards (+1763)
Caleb Williams and Tua Tagovailoa each pass for 25 TDs, Jordan Love and Josh Allen each pass for 30+ TDs (+2261)
Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze, and Travis Kelce each 750+ rec yards, Marvin Harrison Jr 1,000+ rec yards, Tyreek Hill 1,250+ rec yards (+1351)
Tyreek Hill, Ja'Marr Chase, CeeDee Lamb, and Amon-Ra St. Brown each 10+ rec TDs (+3205)
That last parlay with the 4 WRs to each get 10+ TDs is looking real nice. I will probably put $10 or so on each bet just to have some season long action, but I am heavily considering putting $100 on the 4-teamer with a potential payout of $3,305. Seems pretty worth the risk to me!
