2023 NFL win totals picks, bets for NFC North: Bears still a ways off, Aaron Rodgers trade keys futures wagers

NFL season win totals are some of the most fun action to wager on — it’s a season-long gambit with week-to-week intensity because of how much every game matters for the final season record. For years now I’ve written up the win totals for CBS, so it’s wild to me we now get them in mid-to-late March; we’ve always had to grind our way through May to get them released.

Caesar’s dropped win totals for every single NFL team recently, so let’s break them down division by division. Check the rest of the divisions here:

Two, any best bets will be denoted in bold, etc. Three, if you like an over that’s reasonably high, don’t bet it now, because injuries are random. Four, I’m picking these as of March 30, so I’ll lean more unders based on injuries.

Let’s get to it.

Man it is not going to feel good going against the Lions this season. They’re an incredibly fun team and the entire world is going to be betting on them and rooting for them. Detroit finished second in the division last year and just barely missed the playoffs. PFR has preseason win totals for NFL teams dating to 1989 and this is the highest the Lions have ever been. Only 2012 and 1992 featured win totals of an even nine games. A 17-game schedule helps Detroit here, but certainly this roster and this division inspire a lot of hope for the immediate and long-term future. Jared Goff is playing great football and gives Detroit a legitimate reason to punt on drafting a QB right now. Amon-Ra St. Brown is a true No. 1 wideout and a…
