2010 NFL Season Wins Futures Totals

By Robert Ferringo

This week I’m going to start to release my 2010 NFL Previews. I’ll be rolling out the usual division-by-division format, with a look at every team in the league and what I think that their betting value is. Then in a couple weeks I’ll be releasing my famous NFL Futures, which have been a moneymaker for three straight years and, if you include other sports, have been an exceptional source of income (over $4,000 in profit) in the last three years.

But before we get to that, I wanted to post some updated NFL Season Win Totals for futures betting. These lines our courtesy of The Greek and of Vegas Insider. You’re going to see some pretty static numbers this week and next, but then by mid-August you’re going to start to see some flexing in the numbers. Any sharp bettor wants to be out in front of the curve when placing a wager, so I think you may find the best value by getting your wagers in early.

That said, the longer that you wait is still OK. You may not get the best numbers but you’ll have more information to work with, in regards to injuries, strategy, coaching maneuvers, and just watching how teams perform in the preseason. Some teams can definitely pick up momentum with a strong training camp and I can generally tell who is going to come firing out the gates by the way they approach their August tune-ups. For example, I knew that Miami and Atlanta were going to be much improved in 2008 by the aggressive, fired-up way that they approached the preseason. And last year it was San Francisco that came out cracking skulls in camp and that carried over to a decent little season. There are a lot of variables to consider during the regular season, but the early “buzz” of August can give you a little insight into what to expect when the bullets start firing for real.

So below is a look at some early NFL Season wins futures totals. Again, these are open lines and we’ll revisit the biggest movements again right before the regular season starts and see if the money is on its game or if the wise guys and public are set up to get buried again. Also, I will give a bit more commentary on these later this month, after I have release my futures selections. I don’t want to tip my hand.
