It was painful watching Cam Newton in action at the tail end of last season. His arm looked like it was attached to his arm by a single ligament. There was no power. No accuracy. But up until the injury, No. 1 was still one of the better quarterbacks the league had to offer. His throwing shoulder is said to be on the mend. While likely not 100 percent just yet, he’s still got ample time to get his mind and body right for the rigors of a full 16-game regular season schedule; possibly beyond shoul... 

No NFL quarterback threw for more yards a season ago than Ben Roethlisberger. No, not even Patrick Mahomes. Big Ben went on to throw for 5,129 yards and completed just under 67 percent of his passes. Pulling off the feat without the pass-catching abilities of Le’Veon Bell in the mix was without a doubt impressive. Now let’s see if he can do it without Lev Bell and Antonio Brown with his favorite target bolting for Oakland this past offseason. Linemakers at online sportsbooks are skeptical with h... 

Passing yards and touchdown props are on the board at BookMaker for NFL quarterbacks for the 2019 regular season. One of those props is for New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold. The numbers on Darnold are interesting and could offer some value because oddsmakers really don’t know what number to make for Darnold heading into this year. Darnold played just 13 games last season and even those games don’t tell us much because the Jets will have a new head coach this season in Adam Gase and more wea... 

One of the most popular quarterback props heading into the 2019 NFL season involves New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. There is not much debate that Brady is the GOAT and there is no question that Brady and the Patriots could win yet another Super Bowl this season. But what the Patriots do is not the question we are looking at, but we are looking at what Brady will do in terms of passing yards and touchdowns thrown. Brady is 42-years old and despite his great health routine, age catches... 

Of all the player futures, the one that has been hardest hit is the under on Mitch Trubisky’s passing yards. Everyone is skeptical about Trubisky’s ability to throw for more than 3900 yards this season despite having a solid sophomore campaign. The general consensus is that Trubisky benefitted from a soft schedule, and that he will regress even though he is entering his second season in Matt Nagy’s system. I don’t think that will happen.... 

Aaron Rodgers has been one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL over the course of his professional career. Though he doesn’t normally see eye to eye with whichever coaching staff overlooks the team, you can’t argue with the finished product on the field. However, the former Super Bowl champion and Pro Bowler has seen his production levels diminish over the last handful of seasons and that has everything to do with debilitating injuries incurred as well as getting longer in the tooth. Though Rodg... 

A healthy Andrew Luck equates to good fortune for the Indianapolis Colts as a franchise. One only has to look at how it did in 2017 without him compared to last season as evidence. After sitting out the entire season, Luck didn’t skip a beat in leading the team to the playoffs by way of throwing for 4,593 yards and 39 touchdowns. He did so with one of the worst wide receiver corps the NFL had to offer in tow, so his job could be made quite easier in 2019-20 with all the upgrades made to his pass catching corps. This is highly evident with Patrick Mahomes being the only other quarterback to currently possess higher passing yards and total TD pass props at offshore sportsbooks ... 

So what exactly will new head coach Zac Taylor and offensive coordinator Brian Callahan have in store for the Cincinnati Bengals’ offense in 2019-20 and beyond? That’s precisely what those attacking the team’s futures odds at online sportsbooks are trying to figure out after struggling to grasp what Marvin Lewis and the previous regime tried to do the last three seasons. More importantly, how will the changes shake up a stagnant offense that ranked No. 26 overall, No. 24 in passing and No. 21 in... 

You can wager on just about anything when it comes to the NFL. This is the year your favorite team makes a run to the Super Bowl so why not throw down on them. But will that team have the best record in the league? Being the best during the regular season doesn’t always translate into postseason success making those two wagers drastically different.... 

With the first weekend of preseason games wiped off the calendar, have we learned anything about how to make money on exhibition contests? The short answer is no, though that doesn’t necessarily apply to every team. The Los Angeles Rams may never win another preseason game as long as Sean McVay is coaching. That doesn’t bother him, though. He’s more concerned about keeping his regulars healthy for the games that count.... 

No longer a back-up in the City of Brotherly Love, Nick Foles once again owns the keys to a starting offense after the Jacksonville Jaguars ponied up a four-year $102 million contract for his services. The hope is he proves to be the missing ingredient from an offense that took gargantuan steps backwards after coming up just short of cashing in on the Super Bowl odds at online sportsbooks the previous season. Foles will forever be known for coming off the bench and leading the Philadelphia Eagle... 

With only 13 professional starts to his career, Baker Mayfield is being treated like NFL quarterback royalty at online sportsbooks entering the 2019-20 season. The former Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft shined in his rookie season when he led the Cleveland Browns to 7-7 and 8-6 ATS records by way of playing the part of a bonafide QB1. Only five other quarterbacks are predicted to throw for more touchdowns than Mayfield with six others expected to throw for more yards. With ... 

The Detroit Lions have been pegged by many prognosticators to finish at the bottom of the NFC North this season, reclaiming their rightful place as the division’s cellar dweller. This franchise is known as one that wastes its talented players, and that looks to be the case when it comes to franchise quarterback Matthew Stafford. Although Stafford has passed for nearly 40,000 yards in his career, he has not been able to lead the Lions to a playoff victory, and Detroit has not won a playoff game s... 

Did you know that you can bet NFL quarterback props at BookMaker for the 2019 regular season? Numbers are on the board for quarterbacks for the upcoming season, including odds on Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. You can bet over or under the amount of yards thrown for by Wilson and you can also bet over or under the amount of touchdowns thrown by Wilson. Let’s look at the numbers and analyze these two props.... 

It’s put up or shut up time for Marcus Mariota. The Tennessee Titans quarterback is seen as one of the nicest guys in the league, but there’s no question that his career thus far has been a disappointment. Mariota has not lived up to his billing as the No. 2 pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, and he is entering the final season of his rookie contract after the Titans picked up the fifth-year option on his deal in 2018. If he doesn’t have a solid season in 2019, Mariota will likely be looking for work o... 

The Atlanta Falcons have gotten a lot of buzz as one of the teams to watch in 2019. Injuries to their defense ruined their chances of making a third consecutive playoff appearance, but they were in the top eight in total offense for the fifth straight season, and they could be the best offense in the league in 2019. As such, Matt Ryan could be in line for a huge season, and only Patrick Mahomes is projected to throw for more yards according to oddsmakers.... 

Take everything you know about wagering on regular season NFL games and throw it out the window during the exhibition season. That’s because the rules are completely different, the rosters are full of unknowns and coaches are looking to evaluate personnel. In other words, there isn’t much of an emphasis on winning. And that’s why there are some vanilla lines at top NFL sportsbooks during the preseason, and especially when it comes to the first week of games.... 

Everyone knows who the favorites are to win the Super Bowl this season, as teams like the Patriots, Chiefs, Rams and Saints are high on the list after great 2018 campaigns. However, there are more ways to bet on the Super Bowl winner, including by picking which division will claim it. The prop bet is an interesting one because some divisions are stronger from top to bottom but others have a clear contender. It adds another wrinkle to the betting before the year begins, and nailing it will pay of... 

The annual Hall of Fame Game gets the 2019 NFL preseason and the league’s 100th anniversary campaign underway. The game can be viewed as a blessing or a curse, depending on who you talk to. Both the Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons get additional practice time due to their participation. Given the rash of injuries the Falcons sustained last year, it might not be worth the additional game. After a number of years as one of the most respected defensive coordinators in the NFL, Vic Fangio wears the big headset for the first time as he looks to get the Broncos turned around. We will see plenty of players who won’t be around next month, which makes it difficult to handicap this contest. But football is back, baby, and that’s what it’s all about. ... 

A misconception is that a lot of betting folks don’t believe in wagering on NFL preseason games. The fact is there are a lot of people out there throwing down on the exhibition tilts and there is money to be won as long as the time is spent researching. Wagering on football is big business and it starts during the preseason, which gets underway with the annual Hall of Fame Game between the Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons on Thursday, August 1, 2019 from Canton. ...

Any team with a quarterback like Aaron Rodgers on the roster always stands a decent chance of making the playoffs. It’s just everything else that is a question for the Green Bay Packers coming into this season. The Packers missed the playoffs for the second straight season after making it to the postseason from 2009 to 2016. That led to Mike McCarthy being let go in the middle of the 2018 campaign, and Matt LaFleur will be responsible for trying to get Green Bay back to the playoffs. ... 

Most prognosticators are calling for the Detroit Lions to finish at the bottom of the NFC North once again. The Lions haven’t won a division title since 1993, and they haven’t won a playoff game since 1991, so it’s hard to find fault with that prediction. However, they haven’t been abysmal this decade, only mediocre. That sounds like very faint praise, but after finishing no better than 7-9 during the 2000s, at least the Lions have had four winning seasons this decade. ... 

The Denver Broncos have not made it to the postseason since winning Super Bowl 50. This franchise has struggled to find a franchise quarterback since Peyton Manning called it a career after the Super Bowl victory, and that ongoing search has led to Paxton Lynch, Trevor Siemian, and Case Keenum coming and going. Denver will roll the dice with Joe Flacco this season, and the Broncos will have Drew Lock waiting in the wings for the future.... 

While last season was a success for the Dallas Cowboys, the franchise was unable to get over the hump. Dallas has not made it past the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs since winning Super Bowl XXX, and that failure has led to Jason Garrett continually being on the hot seat. The Cowboys are the reigning NFC East champions, but this team has not made consecutive playoff appearances in 11 years. If they fail to do so this year, Garrett is likely out of a job. ...
