Overview
- ESPN’s preseason roundtable recommends the Falcons over 7.5 wins, Broncos over 9.5, Texans over 9.5 and Jaguars over 7.5 in 2025 win totals.
- SBNation advises taking the Panthers over 6.5 wins, Cowboys over 7.5, Raiders over 6.5 and Giants over 5.5 based on their seasonal outlook and schedule strength.
- ESPN analysts cite Michael Penix Jr.’s health and a soft Atlanta schedule, continuity under Sean Payton with Bo Nix in Denver, a Sean McVay–style offense for CJ Stroud in Houston and Jacksonville’s coaching and draft investments as drivers for their over bets.
- SBNation points to Bryce Young’s maturation in Carolina, Dallas’ sustained talent base, Geno Smith’s quarterback upgrade in Las Vegas and the Giants’ bolstered pass rush and quarterback depth as reasons to back their selections.
- All recommendations use live ESPN BET and FanDuel win totals and aim to capitalize on perceived market mispricings before injury news or betting trends shift the lines.
