What are the best bets for each NFL heading into the 2020 NFL season?
The frontrunners to win the Super Bowl in 2020 are unsurprising — all are teams that played admirably in 2019 and have their returning rosters predominantly intact. The Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers, and Baltimore Ravens are the three favorites to do trophy-hoisting down in Tampa Bay this February.
The outlook for MVP candidacy is also fairly customary in that the top five players favored to take home the award are quarterbacks. Indeed, NFL quarterbacks have achieved MVP honors in seven straight seasons. This year, the MVP favorites are as follows: Patrick Mahomes (+350), Lamar Jackson (+600), Russell Wilson (+800), Deshaun Watson (+1400), and Tom Brady (+1600).
Those bets are merely of the popular, birds-eye-view variety. One can wager on team wins, division titles, rookie of the year, and individual player prop bets, to name a few.
Using a site like FanDuel as a baseline for the landscape of NFL betting in 2020, thousands of bets are available to lay some money on the line. The following analysis details sensible bets for all 32 NFL teams.
Most can be considered safe bets whereas a few are true longshots. Although, these longshots are not all-out silly. They’re just more of a stretch than one might expect. But, that’s what makes sports wagering intriguing.
