NFL Betting Online: The Minnesota Vikings have some very talented players returning from last year’s NFC North titlists. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater will aim to make more progress in becoming a top-level signal-caller while running back Adrian Peterson remains to be the star on offense. The defense is young and talented, so there are ample reasons to believe Minnesota will once again be making a return trip to the postseason. Oddsmakers agree, as the Vikings are -200 favorites to qualify for t...
NFL Betting Online: The Oakland Raiders are an up-and-coming team with playoff aspirations in 2016. The team had an encouraging run in 2015 with three key pieces to build around: quarterback Derek Carr, wide receiver Amari Cooper and outside linebacker Khalil Mack. With oodles of cap space, the Raiders added several prominent free agents to the fold and now could push for either the AFC West crown or a wild card berth into the playoffs. The Raiders are slight +110 underdogs to make the postseaso...
Over the course of the last four seasons, J.J. Watt has dominated on the defensive side of the ball. He still hasn't been honored with an MVP award, but he has won Defensive Player of the Year three times in the last four years for his awesome play on the Houston Texans. Will Watt become the first man ever to win the award three times in a row in 2016? He's certainly the favorite to do so....
NFL Betting Online: The Miami Dolphins will have several new faces in the starting lineup on both sides of the ball, but the oddsmakers don’t believe it will increase the team’s chances of making the postseason. The Dolphins went 6-10 a season ago, and both lost and gained some potential impact starters. When it’s all said and done, Miami is expected to miss the postseason once again. The team’s odds of making it are set at +225, with their chances of missing it set at -285 in NFL odds....
The 2016 NFL season is still several weeks away from kicking off, but already, there are several coaches which find themselves on the chopping block, many of which avoided the fate of getting their pink slips at the end of last season....
The mass majority of the time, the NFL MVP award is given to the league's best quarterback. Last year wasn't an exception when Cam Newton won the award, and he's a relatively heavy favorite to repeat that honor in 2016....
Each year since 1972, the AP has picked out its Offensive Player of the Year. Generally speaking, the award goes to a quarterback, but it isn't as obviously a quarterback award as say, the MVP award is. The favorites are all going to be quarterbacks, but if there's a man who has an exceptional year as a running back or a wide receiver, that man certainly could be up for consideration for the honor in 2016....

NFL Betting Online: The New York Jets needed a win in the final game of the 2015 regular season to qualify for the playoffs but couldn’t get done. They are expected to be in the playoff mix once again in 2016, although oddsmakers aren’t too optimistic about their chances. With a quarterback situation in flux, it’s tough to know how well the Jets will play this season. They are +200 underdogs to make it to the playoffs, with missing the postseason the favored wager, set at -260 in NFL betting....
It’s not easy to win games in the NFL, but the Panthers made it look easy last year, on their way to a 15-win regular season. Behind NFL MVP Cam Newton, they clinched their third straight NFC South title in the first week of December and ran away with the division by seven games a year ago....
Has a defending Super Bowl champion ever been so overlooked in their own division than the Denver Broncos? They saw future Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning ride off into the sunset after leading them to a win last February....
The Jaguars have been a laughingstock for most of this decade – five straight years with at least 11 losses. But maybe a turnaround is imminent. The Jaguars could have as many as six new starters on defense and have several foundational players on offense....
If at first you don’t succeed, Roger Goodell will try, try again. And once again, the NFL Commish got what he wanted. Thanks to a recent court ruling, the Patriots face the real prospect of playing their first quarter of 2016 without starting quarterback Tom Brady as the Deflategate soap opera just won’t go away....
Philadelphia fell to 7-9 last year, missed the playoffs for the fourth time in the last five seasons and switched head coaches, canning Chip Kelly and replacing him with former Eagles quarterback Doug Pederson. It was a sorry end to the Kelly era, a time filled with more drama off the field than wins on it....
After years of languishing as a cellar dweller, the Oakland Raiders appear poised to make a comeback. Led by the Silver and Black triplets of Derek Carr, Latavius Murray, and Amari Cooper, there’s a lot to get excited about in Oakland....
The Vikings apparently have the right head coach in Mike Zimmer to lead them to the next level. Zimmer won seven games in his first year at the helm in 2014 and followed that up with an 11-5 campaign and NFC North title in 2015....
Indy suffered through a lost season last year, as quarterback Andrew Luck missed nine games to injury. The Colts managed to go 8-8 and, somewhat remarkably, 6-3 without their franchise signal-caller. Despite the perfectly average record, finishing .500 had to be considered a remarkable feat given the team’s statistical crappiness on both sides of the ball....
Just how much does a healthy Tony Romo mean to the Dallas Cowboys? Well, for a team that won just four games in 2015 playing much of the year without their star quarterback, they are pegged as a nine-win team by oddsmakers in 2016....
Rex Ryan will get another shot at breaking the Bills postseason drought. He came in last season with guns blazing and guaranteed a postseason berth only to guide an average club to an average record....
No one really knew what to expect out of Chip Kelly when he first came into the NFL to coach the Eagles. As we came to find out, he completely tore down a team which wasn't far from contending and turned it into a unit which was a complete disaster in a hurry....
The Cleveland Browns roster looks like an expansion team. It’s not that much different than the roster in 1999, when the Browns actually were an expansion team. The quarterback spots are filled by a veteran desperate for a second chance to start, an older veteran backup and a developmental rookie. The best skill-position player is a tight end, who had a breakout nobody saw coming at age 30....
The Texans were a quarterback away from being a really good football team in 2015. As it was, they overcame a 2-5 start to finish the year at 9-7, winning the AFC South. But that wasn’t enough for Houston in Bill O’Brien’s second season....
The Dolphins crashed and burned last season costing two coaches their job. Entering 2015 with high hopes, Miami stumbled to three losses after an opening day win. It’s not that the Fins lost, rather who they lost to that upset many. Losing at Jacksonville and an embarrassing home opening defeat to Buffalo set the stage for Joe Philbin’s exit after the team lost to the Jets the following week....
The wait continues for Jets fans, who saw their team miss the playoffs last season by losing the regular season finale in Buffalo. It was a torturous loss for the Jets, falling to their former coach, Rex Ryan. And in some ways, it spoiled many of the good feelings that had built up throughout a 10-6 season in 2015....
