In the wake of the NFL Draft, and as the 2024 schedule begins to come into focus, sportsbooks have unveiled their Over/Under win total projections for every team for the 2024 season.
FOX Sports’ Colin Cowherd has a deep understanding of how these bets work — “On average, fans tend to bet the over; those are called sucker bets.” — but he poured through the numbers on Monday’s episode of “The Herd,” and offered up his advice on the best Over/Under bets to target.
Check out his six favorite bets, along with a few thoughts on each:
Green Bay Packers: Over 9.5 wins
Cowherd’s thoughts: “That’s almost like a hedge against Jordan Love. They bring back an offensive coach who’s excellent. Jordan Love at the end of last year … clearly a notch better than Dak [Prescott], who people like. They return every tight end and receiver of note. They’ll be better defensively, under Boston College head coach Jeff Hafley. And they bring in Josh Jacobs. So, they’re young. They’re dynamic. The NFC’s the weaker conference. Jordan Love looked fantastic. This feels like to me … a hedge against Jordan Love. And, I know the division’s better. It’s not that much better. Green Bay’s probably still better than Chicago, and much better than Minnesota. Take the over on the Packers, 9.5.”
Dallas Cowboys: Under 10.5 wins
Cowherd’s thoughts: “I can’t see the Cowboys winning 11 or 12 games. They’re due for some regression. They’ve won 12-plus games in each of the last three seasons. Now they don’t have Tyron Smith. They don’t have much of a run game. They’re very CeeDee Lamb-dependent. They weren’t active in free agency, and, I think the Eagles and Commanders will be better football teams. The other thing is … Dak is 8-18 in his career … when he has to throw the ball 40 or more times. If you don’t have a run game — and the division is better — you’re going to be playing from behind on occasion. I think Dallas under 10.5 is one of my favorite bets.”
Los Angeles Rams: Over 8.5 wins
