Strongest future bet of NFL Season: /pregame-forums/f/9/t/937967.aspx
Got 2 more that I just added to the card.. Don't anticipate any more future bets but plans could change.. BOL to anyone who follows
3 Units: Tennessee Titans under 7 wins +100
Reasoning: One big reason for this play is the transition to a 3-4 defense for the Titans. The Titans did very little in the draft/free agency to address the scheme change, and often teams who retain the same players in a major defensive scheme change get off to rough starts. Ray horton is a solid D coordinator but this adjustment will take time based off the personnel that they have. The titans field one of the best offensive lines in football, but QB Jake Locker is a huge question mark, and his weapons are below average with blocking tight end Delanie Walker starting, and Kendell Wright being the only proven playmaker on the field. The futility of the AFC South division is a scare, but in the end I feel the titans will be competing with Jacksonville for 3rd in this division. Feel like a push is worst case scenario on this play...
3 Units: Minnesota Vikings over 6 wins (-115)
Reasoning: Feeling here is the Vikings have been disrespected by Vegas, as I would have this number at 7. The Vikings surprisingly to most people field a very potent offense as far as playmakers go.The games most dominant runner commands 8 in the box at all times, and unlike previous years the Vikings look to have solid weapons on the outside. Greg Jennings is a solid 2nd reciever, Rudolph is a very solid tight end, and Cordarelle Patterson is one of the leagues most dangerous players with the ball in his hands, who has shown signs of improvement in his route running, which could make him lethal. The big question as always is the quarterback play, but whoever the quarterback is has a very solid supporting cast around him, a lot better then the 2012 Vikings who made the playoffs. The defense was horrific last season, but it should be expected that the Vikings defense has upgraded by adding defensive guru Mike Zimmer, who has a track record of getting the most out of his defensive roster. The defensive line is signifcantly deeper then last season which should help a guy like Zim. Note that the Vikings would have finished 10-6 last season if games were 59 minutes long, showing that defensive collapses under Leslie Frazier were a big problem for them. Concern is the talent in the rest of the NFC North, but I expect 7-8 wins for the Vikings and at worst a push at 6-10
