With the NFL regular season opener just a little over a month away, let’s make a prediction on five over/under win totals (over/under win totals taken from FanDuel Sportsbook).
I went 4-1 in my over/under predictions last season, so let’s hope for more of the same.
Atlanta Falcons - Over 8.5 wins
An offense featuring a boatload of playmakers (quarterback Matt Ryan, running back Devonta Freeman, and wide receivers Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, and Mohamed Sanu) should help allow Atlanta to outduel many teams. The health of the defense will need to improve though in order to finish over .500 after early season-ending injuries in 2018 to safeties Keanu Neal and Ricardo Allen, as well as linebacker Deion Jones.
Baltimore Ravens - Under 8.5 wins
Yes, they did sign safety Earl Thomas, but one player can’t make up for all the talent they lost on that side of the ball this offseason in linebackers C.J. Mosley, Terrell Suggs, and Za’Darius Smith, and safety Eric Weddle. Teams will have a lot more tape on quarterback Lamar Jackson who likely won’t survive the season if he runs with the ball as he much as he did since replacing Joe Flacco last season.
