It’s July and I’m more than excited for the upcoming NFL and college football season. As is customary, today I started looking at NFL season win totals to see if there are any bargains.

The Miami Dolphins are presently listed at 5. That’s a 500% increase from last year. Could they actually win 6 games (5 games would be a push)? That’s a bet screaming under. Their schedule is rough. Winnable games I see are: Raiders at home, Bills at home, 49ers at home, Chiefs on the road, Jets at home. That’s 5 wins and you could argue about most of those games.

For an over the total, I’m looking at Seattle (9). With their new running attack, they should fly over the 9 total. Over the last 5 seasons, their lowest win total is 9. Their big game against the Patriots is in Seattle too.

Here’s the complete list of 2008-09 NFL Regular Season Win Totals Futures as of today:

Is Favre coming back? Care to wager on it? I’ve found an online sportsbook that’s taking action on Brett Favre’s future.

BetUs.com has posted odds on Favre’s future. I’ve omitted the odds on what team he’s likely to play for if he returns since the Packers have reported refused to release him. They are giving even money on the Packers, which is the bet to make.

On March 4, 2008, Brett Favre (QB Green Bay Packers) said he was finished. He said he “had nothing left to give.” Four months later is Favre ready to come back?

Rumors are all over the place. Apparently, his agent is sending out feelers to the Packers. They tried to get the Packers to release him (various unconfirmed reports)—this would free him up to come back for any team. But, that’s not happening.

Another report has him asking to be taken off the NFL reserve/retired list within the next 7-10 days.

If you’re itching to get some NFL action on the books, the LV Hilton has some NFL week 1 betting lines posted. About 25% of the NFL week 1 games are missing, but here’s what they’ve got posted so far.
