2012 NFL Preview: Total Wins all 32 teams

by Steve

The NFL shockingly starts Wedsneday so the previews are going to be coming fast and furious.  Based on betus.ag here are all 32 teams over/under total wins and what I foresee occurring:

Dallas Cowboys 8.5 wins (-165 over)
Under.  The over is a terrible pay out and the Cowboys seem infinitely more likely to go say 8-8 than 10-6

New York Giants 9.5 wins (+140)
Super Bowl hangover or the fact that this team never wins more than 9? Ehh, bang that over

Atlanta Falcons 9 wins (-130)
My conventional wisdom says the 'aints are back to being the 'aints, and the rest of the division isn't all that intimidating, over.

Buffalo Bills 7.5 (-250)
Taking under here means this team is only going to improve by one victory in 2012.  With that schedule not reaching eight wins is a colossal disappointment .

Chicago Bears 9 wins (-130)
Under, this team is old, Cutler is always iffy and Lovie Smith is meh

Cleveland Browns 5.5 wins (+150)
Rookie 80 year old QB, already banged up rookie RB, under.

Detroit Lions 9.5 wins (+150)
Under.  One year does not make a trend.

Houston Texans 10 wins (-200)
This division is so bad you gotta go over.  Double digit wins is almost a lock for a recently moribund franchise.

Indianapolis Colts 5.5 wins (+100)
Weak division, this squad could win six games, Cam Newton style.

Jacksonville Jaguars 5.5 wins (-105)
Mike Mularky?!?! UNDER UNDER UNDER

Kansas City Chiefs 8 wins (+115)
Matt Cassel scares me and not for a good reason.  How did Romeo get another head coaching gig? Under

Miami Dolphins 7 wins (+120)
They traded one of their best young defensive players and have an overrated rookie starting.  What did Matt Moore do besides have the name Matt Moore that everyone hates him? under

Minnesota Vikings 6 wins (-115)
Over.  Adrian Peterson ain't dead yet and Christian Ponder isn't a bust yet.

New England Patriots 12 wins (-115)
The Bills fan in me says they can't win 12+ games every year but the Bills fan in me says the Patriots will always win 12+ games. over.

New Orleans Saints 9.5 wins (-130)
UNDER UNDER UNDER coach matters, doesn't it?

New York Jets 8.5 wins (+140)
Why does this team have to be bad? Schedule is weak and they haven't really lost any one. Over

Philadelphia Eagles 10 wins (+110)
 Trent Edwards is only a heart beat or two away from being their QB. under.

Pittsburgh Steelers 10 wins (-125)
 Tough division but they still have another year with that soon to be rickety defense.

 St Louis Rams 6 wins (-115)
Sleeper team, Sam Bradford might get it, eventually, so why not this year in a bad division? over

Tennessee Titans 7 wins (-165)
Another sleeper team that will crust this over.

Washington Redskins 6.5 wins (-125)
RGiii might be too small to be a great quarterback in this league if he'll be running it a lot.  Salary cap restrictions also don't help. under

Arizona Cardinals 6.5 wins (-115)
Skelton v Kolb was like Bush v Gore, either way they're fucked. under

Carolina Panthers 7.5 wins (-150)
Don't believe the hype. under

Green Bay Packers 12 wins (+150)
Don't like Aaron Rodgers and the defense isn't good. under

San Francisco 49ers 10 wins (+120)
I'll say over only because they're facing Skelton, Wilson and Bradford

Seattle Seahawks 7 wins (-250)
The under pays well, take the value. under

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 6 wins (-145)
Only play here is the over, seven wins in the National Football League is not unattainable for any team. over

Denver Broncos 9 wins (-115)
That is a lot of neck surgeries in one year.  Do all of their fans realize Tebow is gone yet? under

Baltimore Ravens 10 wins (+150)
Time to diee. under

Cincinnati Bengals 8 wins (-105)
Solid drafting, good young QB, who knew. over

Oakland Raiders 7 wins (-125)
.500 still doesn't make that Carson Palmer deal worth it. over

San Diego Chargers 9 wins (+140)
Norvel is under .500 for his career but can he really torpedo another Phil Rivers season? over
