The regular season is in the books and it’s time to take a look at how each team fared against the NFL win futures posted in Las Vegas every summer. For those unfamiliar, it’s simple—we’re talking about an Over/Under betting number on how many games each team will win. It’s a black-and-white to tell exactly who the disappointments were and who the surprises were, and do it in a quantifiable way.
When TheSportsNotebook did its preseason previews in the NFL, a focal point was noting what Las Vegas pegged as each team’s Over/Under number on win totals. With one game to go, it’s time for a review of those numbers. The review serves a dual purpose—to see who were the biggest surprises and disappointments in the eyes of those who put their money behind their opinions—and to put TheSportsNoteook’s prognostication competence on the line, since these are the picks I take the most seriously. So it’s with anticipation and trepidation that we review the NFL win props.
