2026 NFL FUTURES WIN TOTALS

Back for another monster NFL Futures Thread.

The first of many:

I usually don't make any futures bets this early, but given the lines I have seen elsewhere, coupled with today's trade that shows LA is ALL-IN this year with Stafford potentially retiring after this season, and looking at their schedule, they should get to 12 wins minimally. 

LA RAMS OVER 11.5  +115.  $3000 to win $3400.

One of my sites has it reversed at the OVER -145 and the Under +115.  The site I bet it on is +115 OVER 11.5 and -145 UNDER 11.5.  Strange.

I obviously bet the + money line.

All of my futures bets will be posted in this thread.

Good Luck to everyone and welcome back NFL!!! 

NFL!!!

the rams schedule is difficult but manageable. after their bye week there's six games where it could be bumpy at the finish. 

The site I got +115 immediately this morning went to -115.  Always a good sign.

Yes, I agree they play a lot of good teams.  I still think, if Stafford stays healthy, they win most of those games and will be favored in almost all of them. They should cruise through the lesser opponents.  They know they cannot let down weekly as both the Seahawks and Niners will be right there.  

And Donald may come out of retirement to play with Garrett.  Oh my.......

They're trying to go all in again like in 2020, took a couple years. Super Bowl in SoFi again so I can see the urgency 

@Digitalkarma

 Yes, Super Bowl at home and Stafford eyeing retirement. I have them going 13-4 or 14-3. This is assuming Stafford stays healthy.

LAS VEGAS RAIDERS UNDER 6.5 -150

3K to win 2K.

I hate the juice, but their schedule sets up difficult with them having to win every supposed winnable game and have two upsets to get to 7 wins.  Cousins is not a good player anymore and will get hurt at some point.  Their division is brutal.  Their roster is slowly getting better, but they are on the very low end of overall talent.  New coach and system.  Their draft class does not have a single impact player except for Mendoza, who will sit until Cousins gets hurt.  He is a rookie QB on a bad team. Good luck getting to 7 wins. I would have bet more, but I hate the -150.  On my other site it is -155.

Nope.  Wrong fucking forum

HOUSTON TEXANS OVER 9.5 -125

$3125 to win $2500.

Their defense is a top 3 Defense.  Their offense has skilled players at all positions, including an upgraded offensive line and starting RB (David Montgomery) and play in a division that they have dominated for years.  Their schedule is a bit tougher than I would like to see, but they only need to get to 10 wins (10-7).  They can lose 7 times and the over still covers?  Their road game against division rival Jacksonville is overseas, and they have 9 home games.  I love all of that! If Stroud simply is serviceable, they easily get to 10 wins. Even if he gets hurt, Mills is a competent back-up with the dynamics of this team.

@ginx

Their schedule is very rough, and Cousins has been very up and down the last few years.  Mostly down.  He is 40.  The Raiders are bad, and he will never make it through half the season as he will get hurt. They will play from behind most of the season, which lends to a much higher probability of the QB getting hit, sacked, injured.  Then they have a rookie first round pick back-up.  Good luck with that on a bad team.  Cousins has zero durability.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS UNDER 10.5 -140 

$3500 to win $2500

I had it pegged exactly last year, betting KC Under 11.5 wins.  I am betting their under again.  Their schedule is brutal after the first five games, and Mahomes will probably miss all of September.  They lost in FA over the winter, especially on defense.  I hate the high juice like the LV RAIDER bet, but I don't see KC getting to 11 wins with their current roster, Mahomes coming back from a major injury, and their losses in FA.
