With the first wave of free agency done and the NFL draft just weeks away, it’s time to start betting on NFL teams’ 2022 win totals.
BetMGM released its first win total projections on Thursday and there are some intriguing lines. Here are our staff’s favorite early picks to go over and under their win totals this fall.
BEST OVER BETS
Steelers over 7.5 (-120): Mike Tomlin has never had a losing season. The Steelers’ consistency through the years is worth an over bet alone. The Steelers have lost a few free agents, like receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, though others like cornerback Joe Haden are still unsigned. This low total is about the quarterback position, however. Mitchell Trubisky will be replacing Ben Roethlisberger. Trubisky has been maligned but it’s not like Roethlsiberger was good most of last season and the Steelers still went 9-7-1. I’ll trust that Trubisky won’t be a big downgrade from 2021 Roethlisberger and the Steelers will figure out a way to win. They always do.
Chargers…
