CLICK TO GRAB OUR Expert NFL Picks for 2013 FOOTBALL Betting!<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\nI like the offense-first approach of the Bears this year heading into the season and we all know that the defense will hold up their end of the bargain. A 9-7 season or better certainly isn\u2019t too much to ask from a team that should in all likelihood make the playoffs this upcoming campaign.<\/p>\n
Carolina Panthers<\/strong> \u2013 Over 6.5 wins (-130)<\/p>\nThe Panthers played about as poorly as they could have last season and they still finished with seven wins. Expect them to be much better on both sides of the ball this year \u2013 they just have to be. Cam Newton should be over his sophomore slump and the defense should have a better time this upcoming year. It all adds up to another 7-9 or 8-8 season for the Panthers \u2013 Over the 6.5 win total.<\/p>\n
Kansas City Chiefs<\/strong> – Over 6.5 wins (-130)<\/p>\nKC upgraded in a big way during the offseason \u2013 possible the two biggest impact moves were made in the names of Andy Reid as Coach and Alex Smith at QB. This team still has Jamaal Charles and they still live in a division that includes San Diego and Oakland \u2013 a recipe for a .500 season at very least. 7-9 would be a colossal disappointment \u2013 you have to like the Chiefs to be .500 team \u2013 don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n
New Orleans Saints<\/strong> \u2013 Over 9.5 wins (-115)<\/p>\nThe Saints get Sean Payton back from suspension \u2013 that\u2019s good for a couple of wins all by itself. Add in the fact that their disappointing season from last year led to a rather easy schedule for the Saints. New Orleans\u2019 defense will be better and Drew Brees is certainly due for a bounce back after a somewhat disappointing 2012. New Orleans is always good for 10 wins when Sean Payton is at the helm \u2013 this year should be no different. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n
The Unders:<\/h3>\n
Washington Redskins<\/strong> \u2013 Under 9 wins (-120)<\/p>\nAll of the reports out of Skins OTAs seem positive \u2013 RG III appears on track to start the season healthy. That said it is no guarantee that his surgically repaired knee will be back to \u201cnormal\u201d all season long. Sophomore slumps are real things for NFL QBs as well \u2013 just ask Cam Newton! Washington plays in the always tough NFL East which, on paper looks like it may be vastly improved this year. The Skins haven’t had back-to-back winning seasons since 1991-92 \u2013 I see a slight slide this year.<\/p>\n
Indianapolis Colts<\/strong> \u2013 Under 8 wins (+120)<\/p>\nIf I think that RG III is headed for a sophomore slump, I have no choice but to think that the Colts are due for a bit of a letdown this year too. This team rode the emotion of their cancer-afflicted coach last year and they won seven games by four or less points. The odds will even themselves out this year and the Colts will experience the adversity they were supposed to suffer last year.<\/p>\n
Pittsburgh Steelers<\/strong> \u2013 Under 10 wins (EVEN)<\/p>\nThe Steelers lost a few more pieces of what had made them successful the last few seasons \u2013 change likely will catch up to them this year. Add in the fact that their division is increasingly competitive and that Ben Roethlisberger is almost a shoe-in for a significant injury and double digit wins looks like an uncertainty in Steel-Town.<\/p>\n
Arizona Cardinals<\/strong> – Under 6 wins (-120)<\/p>\nThe Cardinals won five games last year and did virtually nothing to improve their team in the offseason. Bruce Arians replaces Ken Whisenhunt as Coach and Carson Palmer was acquired to play QB. I\u2019m not sure if these are the upgrades necessary to make this team competitive. The NFC West looks strong again and Arizona appears as though they are the worst of the bunch. Arizona could challenge for the worst record in the NFL this year \u2013 Under 6 wins is a good play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
