NFL division odds are out. At first glance it appears that a season of repeats is in order with seven of eight defending division winners favored to turn the trick again this year, but a closer look shows that there is\u00a0quite a bit of\u00a0value to be found in these plays. <\/p>\n
New England (-500) appears slightly vulnerable with Rob Gronkowski out indefinitely and Wes Welker gone, but they\u2019re still the class of the division. They\u2019re an injury or two from being in some real trouble, though.<\/p>\n
Miami (+500) is the sexy pick this year. They won free agency, but the next NFL team to drastically improve through free agency will be the first.<\/p>\n
New York (+1000) and Buffalo (+1800) have a lot of work to do to get back to a level where they can compete with the Patriots.<\/p>\n
The play: Pass<\/strong><\/p>\n The offseason didn\u2019t go well for Baltimore (+180). The team lost some key veterans and that doesn\u2019t bode well for their chances of avoiding the dreaded Super Bowl hangover.<\/p>\n Pittsburgh (+200) is so well-coached that it\u2019s tough to bet against them, but they let some key players leave in the offseason and don\u2019t appear to have enough talent to get to the playoffs.<\/p>\n Cincinnati (+200) has won 19 games over the last two seasons, and as their young core matures they\u2019re only going to get better.<\/p>\n Cleveland (+750) is finally trending in the right direction, but they\u2019re still a few years away from competing.<\/p>\n The play: Bengals (+200)<\/strong><\/p>\n Indianapolis (+250) played above themselves a year ago thanks to an easy schedule. The schedule-makers must be Colts fans because Indy will enjoy the third-easiest schedule this year.<\/p>\n However, Houston (-250) will play the league\u2019s sixth-easiest schedule, and the improvements they made on defense make them the team to beat once again.<\/p>\n I can\u2019t think of anything positive to say about Tennessee (+750) other than that they get to play Jacksonville (+2500) twice.<\/p>\n The play: Texans (-250)<\/strong><\/p>\n The AFC West teams will enjoy the softest slate of games in football, with each of the division\u2019s four teams ranking in the top-5 among the league\u2019s easiest schedules.<\/p>\n Kansas City (+650) and San Diego (+650) should improve on their records from a year ago, while Oakland (+2000) will be lucky to win five games.<\/p>\n Denver (-500) got Peyton Manning some extra toys to play with in the offseason. They come at a steep price, but as far as I\u2019m concerned it\u2019s free money.<\/p>\n The play: Broncos (-500)<\/strong><\/p>\n Dallas (+225) has the weapons on offense to compete with the best of them, and they got healthy on defense in the offseason. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n It sounds like Washington (+225) is going to get Robert Griffin III on the field by week one. The problem is Robert Griffin II and the Shanahans might be too cautious with him until it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n New York (+175) is without some key offensive players at the start of camp, while Chip Kelly will use year one in Philadelphia (+500) to work the kinks out of his offense.<\/p>\n The play: Cowboys (+225)<\/strong><\/p>\n Green Bay (-175) is going to regret letting Greg Jennings go, and Jennings is going to regret going to Minnesota (+425) to play with Christian Ponder. The Vikings played above themselves last season and can\u2019t count on a repeat performance from Adrian Peterson. <\/p>\n Chicago (+350) finally addressed their concerns at left tackle by bringing in Jermon Bushrod, and Martellus Bennett is their first legitimate threat at tight end since Greg Olsen left.<\/p>\n I was tempted to go with Detroit (+750), but they\u2019re going to play the league\u2019s second-toughest schedule this year.<\/p>\n The play: Bears (+350)<\/strong><\/p>\n New Orleans (+160) gets Sean Payton back and you just know they\u2019re going to play with a chip on their shoulder all season. Drew Brees might break every passing record there is this year.<\/p>\n Steven Jackson was a solid get for Atlanta (+110), and Tony Gonzalez returning for another season is great, but the team needed to pay more attention to the other side of the ball in the offseason.<\/p>\n Tampa Bay (+600) will be better, but Darrelle Revis can\u2019t solve their issues in the secondary by himself.<\/p>\n Carolina (+600) has some appeal as a post-hype sleeper, but they drew the toughest schedule in football this season.<\/p>\n The play: Saints (+160)<\/strong><\/p>\n The arms race out West has set up what will be a great battle between San Francisco (-125) and Seattle (+125) for the division crown. Both teams are stacked, but a slightly softer schedule and the best home field advantage in football give the Seahawks the edge.<\/p>\n St. Louis (+800) should take another step forward in their second year under Jeff Fisher.<\/p>\n Arizona (+3300)\u00a0shouldn’t have let\u00a0Ray Horton leave.<\/p>\n The play: Seahawks (+125)<\/strong><\/p>\n Parity rules the NFL, so seven of eight division champions repeating is highly unlikely. Wise bettors will recognize that there is plenty of value to be found in division plays this season.<\/p>\n NFL Division Previews NFL division odds are out.
