In my preseason NFL preview I included the over/under seasonal win totals for each team, set by SportsBook.com, and predicted if each win would be over or under. Last week I looked at 12 teams that played eight games and didn’t have their bye week yet. Here is an update on the remaining 20 teams and a look to see if I’m close to picking the teams win total correctly:
Philadelphia Eagles (3-5)
My Prediction: Under 10.5
On pace for: 6 wins
Dallas Cowboys (3-5)
My Prediction: Under 8.5 wins
On pace for: 6 wins
Chicago Bears (7-1)
My Prediction: Over 9.5 wins
On pace for: 14 wins
Detroit Lions (4-4)
My Prediction: Under 9.5 wins
On pace for: 8 wins
Atlanta Falcons (8-0)
My Prediction: Under 9.5 wins
On pace for: 16 wins
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-4)
My Prediction: Over 6 wins
On pace for: 8 wins
New Orleans Saints (3-5)
My Prediction: Under 9.5 wins
On pace for: 6 wins
Carolina Panthers (2-6)
My Prediction: Under 7.5 wins
On pace for: 4 wins
Miami Dolphins (4-4)
My Prediction: Under 7 wins
On pace for: 8 wins
Buffalo Bills (3-5)
My Prediction: Over 7.5 wins
On pace for: 6 wins
Baltimore Ravens (6-2)
My Prediction: Over 10 wins
On pace for: 12 wins
Pittsburgh Steelers (5-3)
My Prediction: Under 10 wins
On pace for: 10 wins
Cincinnati Bengals (3-5)
My Prediction: Under 8.5 wins
On pace for: 6 wins
Houston Texans (7-1)
My Prediction: Over 10 wins
On pace for: 14 wins
Indianapolis Colts (5-3)
My Prediction: Over 5 wins
On pace for: 10 wins
Jacksonville Jaguars (1-7)
My Prediction: Under 5.5 wins
On pace for: 2 wins
Denver Broncos (5-3)
My Prediction: Under 9 wins
On pace for: 10 wins
San Diego Chargers (4-4)
My Prediction: Under 9 wins
On pace for: 8 wins
Oakland Raiders (3-5)
My Prediction: Under 7 wins
On pace for: 6 wins
Kansas City Chiefs (1-7)
My Prediction: Over 8 wins
On pace for: 2 wins
If these 20 teams had the same first half record as their second half record (won’t happen) then I would be 14-5-1. With the 12 teams I looked at last week I was 5-6-1 so my total would be 19-11-2. Still along way to go and looking forward to the second half of the season.
