I just wanted to see what you guys think about the Over/Under Totals for
each team- I sure all of you have your sports book so Im not going to post
them on here but, the ones I was looking at were Buffalo o/u 7.5, San
Diego o/u 5.5

Let me get some feed back from you guys!

    I had posted opinions on some teams win totals in a post from last week...
    but not sure how to find archived posts in the new format here. If you can
    find it, there is some info there.
    Good Luck

    FYI, I have no opinion on SD or Buffalo...

    2004/2005 NFL Futures

    I have been looking at some of the NFL team win totals at Pinnacle for the
    last few days and I have formed some opinions of the numbers based on
    returning starters, free agent signings and losses, offensive and
    defensive draft picks and development, along with coaching changes and
    coaching philosophies. I also factor in injury potential and upgrades to
    other teams within the respective divisions. Mind you, these are only my
    opinions but it's a way to start focusing on the upcoming season... any
    feedback is always welcome. I will try to offer some reasons why I
    perceive the teams the way I do but again, these are "first looks" and
    training camps will provide more insight. One other thing, unless you have
    a healthy bankroll or just want to throw a few dollars in it for fun,
    betting futures is a tough way to tie up your money for the long term...
    but fun to talk about.

    Arizona UNDER 5.5
    Even with Dennis Green, this team has very little offensive talent and
    very thin at most positions. The cheapest owner in the NFL won't help nor
    will the desert heat.
    Jacksonville OVER 6.5
    It seems like every year a team comes out of nowhere and I think that the
    Jag's D will be greatly improved after a year in Del Rio's systems. He is
    a great defensive mind and I think Leftwich plays much better offensively.
    Maybe this year's Panthers?
    New York Jets UNDER 8.5
    This team has a very weak defense and a very poor secondary particularly.
    I see a lot of shootouts that they can not win. Pennington needs to take a
    major step in order to keep them competitive IMHO.
    Tough division won't help.
    Philadelphia Eagles UNDER 10.5
    I will probably get some flack for this one, but every year seems to be
    the year they "take the next step"... the addition of Owens will help as
    long as he gets the ball, but I think Staley is a big loss and the
    secondary is a huge question mark with the loss of both starters on the
    corner. Another receiver needs to step up or Owens will get doubled all
    day long. Kearse hasn't stayed healthy for the last couple of seasons so I
    am wary that he will this year. Tough division with improvements in
    Washington (coaching mainly) and Dallas. I am thinking 9 wins if all goes
    right. McNabb has also started slowly the last couple of years and I feel
    there is a certain amount of pressure to win it all this season or maybe
    some changes will occur. Reid is likely on the hot seat.
    Seattle Seahawks OVER 8.5
    As of now I feel that this team is the best in the division. St. Louis has
    not improved and losing the D coordinator(Smith)to the head coaching job
    in Chicago won't help. It seems to me that the rest of the league is
    catching up to the philosophy of Martz and he can be counted on to lose at
    least one game due to bonehead calls and ego. Their defense seems to wear
    down as the season goes on due to being quick but undersized. I think the
    Seahawks win the division with 9 or 10 wins. Hasselbeck made great strides
    in Holmgren's system last year... maybe it is starting to sink in.
    I am also looking at Detroit OVER 6.5, Washington UNDER 8.5 (too much
    stock put in Gibbs but short on talentleftover from Spurrier)... again,
    just some preliminary views and my opinions. Hope it is interesting and
    helpful!

    Thanks for your input, I to agree with Phili under 10.5, 11 games is a lot
    to win. I am looking over the jets, but I think I will stick with the
    phili, and buffalo!

    Have a good one!
