Odds provided by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/go\/bovada\">Bovada<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>San Francisco 49ers +600<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With teams gunning for the Seahawks next season, San Francisco may slide into the top spot in the NFC, and a home schedule in next year\u2019s playoffs could make all the difference. The 49ers have made it at least as far as the NFC Championship Game in each of their three seasons under John Harbaugh, so if nothing else, a play on the 49ers could offer up value to hedge somewhere down the road.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New England Patriots +700<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Patriots dealt with a litany of injuries this season and weren\u2019t able to take advantage of a weak AFC. With players like Vince Wilfork, Jerod Mayo, and Rob Gronkowski set to return next season, the Patriots will look to retain their title as the class of the AFC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Green Bay Packers +1600<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>San Francisco\u2019s had their number, but the Packers have been able to take care of business against just about all other comers. While it may have been early in Russell Wilson\u2019s career, remember that they all but beat the Seahawks in Seattle if not for a screw up by the replacement referees. If the defense can get back to its ball-hawking ways and Aaron Rodgers can remain healthy, Green Bay could be a team to watch out for.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New Orleans +1600<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Saints know where their weaknesses lie. In last year\u2019s draft, the team plugged a big hole drafting Kenny Vaccaro in the first round. If they can improve on that side of the ball this year and get Jimmy Graham\u2019s contract dispute settled quickly, watch out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Carolina Panthers +2000<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Panthers surprised many this season, but they\u2019ve had the talent to win for years now. Luke Kuechly may have been the final piece to the puzzle on defense, and the team could solve things on the other side of the ball with some smart moves on the other side of the ball in this year\u2019s draft which is loaded with high-end wide receivers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arizona Cardinals +3000<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s Super Bowl will be played in Arizona, and while the host team has never played in the Super Bowl, the Cardinals will be extra motivated this season. With Larry Fitzgerald re-iterating his commitment to the team with a contract restructuring in the offseason, and Patrick Peterson developing into one of the best players on the other side of the ball, Arizona could make some noise out west.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Houston Texans +3000<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No one expected Houston to fall apart the way they did last season. Many of the right pieces are already in place, now the team just needs to find its quarterback, and this is certainly the right draft to do just that. In a weak AFC, Houston\u2019s turnaround may not take more than once season.<br \/>\n[soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<br \/>\n<strong>New York Giants +4000<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Giants looked downright awful last season, but many of the key faces from the team\u2019s recent championship runs remain, and we\u2019ve already learned that the Giants can perform at their best when they appear most vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cleveland Browns +6000\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Will another new head coach make any difference in Cleveland? Probably not, but there\u2019s no denying that the team already has all the weapons needed to win. Their defense was quietly one of the better units in football last year. If they can find the right quarterback through the draft (or get Brian Hoyer back on the field), he and Josh Gordon could make some beautiful music next season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tampa Bay Buccaneers +6000<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Bucs made big strides forward on the defensive side of the ball under Greg Schiano, but they were expected by some to become an elite unit with the addition of Darrelle Revis. While that never materialized, the addition of Lovie Smith should help transform that unit into something special. Mike Glennon appears to be the real deal, and a returning Doug Martin should right the ship on offense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are the odds for the rest of the league.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Atlanta Falcons +2500<br \/>\nBaltimore Ravens +3000<br \/>\nBuffalo Bills +6000<br \/>\nChicago Bears +3000<br \/>\nCincinnati Bengals +2000<br \/>\nDallas Cowboys +3000<br \/>\nDenver Broncos +500<br \/>\nDetroit Lions +4000<br \/>\nIndianapolis Colts +2000<br \/>\nJacksonville Jaguars +20000<br \/>\nKansas City Chiefs +3000<br \/>\nMiami Dolphins +5000<br \/>\nMinnesota Vikings +10000<br \/>\nNew York Jets +6000<br \/>\nOakland Raiders +20000<br \/>\nPhiladelphia Eagles +3000<br \/>\nPittsburgh Steelers +3000<br \/>\nSan Diego Chargers +3000<br \/>\nSt. Louis Rams +4000<br \/>\nSeattle Seahawks +400<br \/>\nTennessee Titans +6000<br \/>\nWashington Redskins +4000<\/p>\n<h3>The 2014\/15 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/nfl\/\">NFL futures betting<\/a> season is here in full force!
