Breaking down the best futures bet to place for all 32 teams ahead of the opening kickoff of the 2024 NFL season.
Unlike NFL MVP, the Offensive Rookie of the Year award doesn't always go to a quarterback. In fact, wide receivers won the award in back-to-back years in 2021 and 2022. In fact, a quarterback has won the ward only four times in the last 11 years.
He's also going to be the clear No. 1 option on the Cardinals offense with the rest of the receiving core being made up of Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch. Add in the fact he'll have one of the better quarterback in the league in Kyler Murray throwing him the ball, and he's set up to explode onto the scene in a big way.
In my opinion, their only real competition in the division is the Cincinnati Bengals, but even with them getting healthy on offense, their defense pales in comparison to Baltimore's and I consider the Bengals to be one of the more overvalued teams in the betting market this season.With Stefdon Diggs now in Houston, Josh Allen has no star power at the receiver position which may result in him having to take off with his legs more than we saw last season.
If you pencil in one of the Eagles or Cowboys in a wild card spot and you assume the Packers will take another step forward this season and claim a playoff spot for the second straight season, that leaves only a few teams left who can claim the final spot. I feel much comfortable taking the Rams or a team from the NFC South to lock up a wild card berth than I do the Bears.
The Cowboys have gone 12-5 in three straight seasons and say what you will about Dak Prescott, but they've never had a losing record in a season that he's played in at least six games. As you would expect from a young team, the Packers started last season off slow sitting at just 3-6 through Week 10. They then caught fire winning six of their final eight games including an upset win in the playoffs against the Dallas Cowboys. That's a sign of things to come as this young roster continues to find their stride.Houston Texans Best BetI'm not buying in on the hype that came with the Texans signing running back, Joe Mixon, this offseason.
The Houston Texans are a fun young team, there's no denying that, but we have to remember they finished the season just 12th in Net Yards per Play. Defensively, they were a solid unit in 2023, ranking 11th in the NFL in opponent yards per play giving up just 5.2 yards per snap. They also quietly made one of the best signings of the offseason, acquiring defensive lineman, Christian Wilkins. He and Maxx Crosby will make for an intimidating duo this upcoming season.
They may not have made a ton of moves this offseason, but they made a few key acquistions that will go a long way. They signed Jonah Jackson to help out the offensive line, and then added to their secondary by signing Tre-Davious White and Darious Williams. Sine if their easiest games of the season come in the final half with games against the Titans, Cardinals, Seahawks, and two against the Bears.
Failing to sign Saquon Barkley and then overpaying for Brian Burns aren't exactly moves that would give me confidence as a Giants fan.I've already made the argument in a different article about how I think the Jets are the mostheading into the 2024 season. An improved offensive line and a healthy Aaron Rodgers aren't enough to convince me they'll go from 7-10 to 10-7 in one season.
I'm still baffled how T.J. Watt wasn't named Defensive Player of the Year. He was the sack leader in 2023 with 19.0 sacks, 1.5 more than the second most in the NFL and five more than Myles Garrett, who was given the award. Add in 19 tackles for a loss, eight pass deflections, and four forced fumbles and you have who I believe is the best defensive player in the NFL.
