Alright football fans — and even those of you who just show up for the wings — it’s that magical time of year again. NFL season is almost here, and Vegas oddsmakers have already made their predictions on who’s winning… and who’s just showing up to the party in sweatpants.
According to BetMGM, the top dogs this year? The usual suspects: the Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs, AND your reigning Super Bowl champs — the Philadelphia Eagles — all projected for 11.5 wins. So basically, oddsmakers are like, ‘We see you, Eagles… but don’t get too comfortable.’
Now, in the AFC, the playoff picture looks like this: Bills, Ravens, Chiefs, Texans, Bengals, Broncos, and Chargers are your top picks. Sorry, Patriots and Steelers — y’all are knocking at the door, but Vegas isn’t letting you in just yet. Somebody cue the sad violins.
Meanwhile, over in the NFC, it’s the Eagles again leading the charge, followed by the Lions, Packers, 49ers, Commanders, Bucs, and Rams. And yes, you heard that right — the Commanders are supposed to be good this year. Somewhere, a fan just did a double-take while spilling queso dip.
Bottom of the barrel? Sorry, Jets fans — projected at just 5.5 wins. We can’t confirm if that number includes emotional breakdowns.
Anyway, these are just the projections. Anything can happen. That’s the beauty of football — and the reason your fantasy team will still probably disappoint you by Week 3.
Alright, back to the hits — but if you’re picking a Super Bowl winner based on this, maybe place that bet before someone gets injured during warmups!
