2019 NFL Season Betting Tips to Take into Consideration

The Arizona Cardinals are going to be very bad

They play in the NFC West, which has last year’s conference champion (the Rams), a wild card team that has a scary defense and an elite quarterback (the Seahawks) and a team that is on the rise, ahead of the Cardinals in the rebuilding arc (the 49ers). Then there is the quarterback situation in Arizona, who just traded Josh Rosen to Miami and drafted Kyler Murray out of Oklahoma. The other quarterbacks on Arizona’s roster right now? Brett Hundley (the guy who couldn’t lead the Green Bay offense when Aaron Rodgers broke his collarbone in 2017) and Chad (who?) Kanoff. David Johnson remains at tailback, but with holes in the offensive line and questions on defense, Arizona should finish well under that five-game win total.

Buffalo and the New York Jets will both challenge New England

Buffalo has Josh Allen and the Jets have Sam Darnold, two of the best second-year quarterbacks in the league. Both of them took their lumps last season, and both emerge with more talent around them in their sophomore season. Buffalo added slot receiver Cole Beasley in free agency and already had a stout defense, while the Jets gave tailback Le’Veon Bell a big sack of money to come from Pittsburgh — and the Jets have a solid defense as well. The Bills have a win total of six games for 2019, and given that Buffalo gets to play the NFC East this year in addition to two games against the Dolphins, they should finish over six wins. The Jets have a seven-game win total, but if Bell pays off (and they have the same divisional opponents as well as the NFC East, the Jets should finish over seven wins.

Jacksonville will sneak back into the playoffs

You can get this prop for +375 at several books (with the Jags at -500 to miss the postseason). Why? They already have an outrageously stingy defense, but the problem has been Blake Bortles at quarterback. They were able to overcome him in 2017 — and then he had that otherworldly playoff run, including a monster game in Pittsburgh in the divisional playoffs — but then he fell back to earth in 2018. Now the Jaguars have added Nick Foles, the Super Bowl MVP from two years ago, as Philadelphia was looking to clear the decks for Carson Wentz, and that improvement on offense will push Jacksonville past Houston and Tennessee in the division — and maybe past the Colts too.

The NFC East will be the league’s worst division

Why? Well, Washington and the New York Giants are both dumpster fires. The Giants are going to waste the talents of Saquon Barkley again, because they used their first-round pick to get Eli Manning a backup instead of a new franchise quarterback. Their defense is decent, but their offense will be run-heavy and therefore stoppable. The Redskins did select Dwayne Haskins in the draft, but he will need a year at least to adjust to the pro game. Their defense is suspect, and the rest of their offense is easy to stop. Dallas went cheap at offensive coordinator, and they will be easy to slow down as well, as their offensive line is aging, and their calls will be predictable. Philadelphia might have the best coach in the division, but Wentz is a fragile quarterback.

Is Cleveland for real? We say yes

We saw Baker Mayfield lead the Browns to a 7-8-1 record and the brink of the postseason, and this year he won’t be starting the season on the bench watching Tyrod Taylor bog the offense down. The team added Odell Beckham Jr and also put some stout faces on the defensive side of the ball. The Browns will lose a few head-scratchers, but the rest of the AFC North is going through enough turmoil for Cleveland to win the division — and at least one playoff game.
