Philadelphia Eagles
The Bet: Miles Sanders over 1,000.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
This is dicey. Sanders is a dual-threat scatback type, so he could rack up one of those David Johnson statlines from a few years back. Indeed, Sanders will break out into stardom, but a lot it could come via pass-catching.
However, with Jordan Howard gone, Sanders should get the bulk of the carriers. Bet on him surpassing the 1,000-yard barrier. File this one under “least certain” of this analysis.
Pittsburgh Steelers
The Bet: Win AFC North (+400)
Gutsy prophecy. All non-Pennslyvania humans have the Ravens already celebrating an AFC North title in 2020.
Not so fast — have you forgotten the wherewithal of Mike Tomlin? Roethlisberger is back, and we will soon find out if that’s a good or bad thing. Also, Tomlin’s defense never struggles.
In a surprise, the Steelers rip away the division from the heavily-favored and hated Ravens.
San Francisco 49ers
The Bet: Jimmy Garoppolo under 3,950.5 Passing Yards (-110)
Head coach Kyle Shanahan likes to run the football. Couple that with Deebo Samuel’s injury status up in the air and new wideout Brandon Aiyuk “just a rookie,” and the 49ers will not be a team seeking to light up the air with a bunch of pass attempts.
The 49ers will be an intimidating team, but it won’t be because of an aerial offense.
