Season Totals picks 67% (24-12) combined in 2005-2007!

We've hit over 60% lifetime on our NFL preseason picks. Check out our philosophy on NFL preseason picks.

The Fall is approaching and that means the NFL season is right around the corner. Every year we predict NFL season performance (team win totals). Make no mistake - this is one of the best NFL betting opportunitiesavailable!

Why are betting NFL season win totals such a great opportunity? Primarily because so few people put in the time and effort to make these types of NFL picks. Of the few that do put in time on these predictions, we believe that no one looks at it as scientifically as we do. No one puts in the effort we do in predicting season win totals!

For these reasons, we have hit 67% on our season win totals picks the past three years (9-3 in 2005, 9-4 in 2006 and 6-5 in 2007). We are 11-3 on our Best Bets(3 stars or higher picks)!

These season win totals picks have become part of my official NFL picks that have have posted 86 units of profit overall with our premium picks. $100 bettors have made $8,700 and dime players have taken down $86,000 in profit. Make sure you are getting our free NFL picks via our newsletter.

2008 NFL Predictions - Team Win Totals

This season we have 14 team totals picks. Below we list our seven 1 and 2 star selections. Subscribers to any of our preseason or regular season football packages will receive our additional seven 3 and 4 star picks. Lines below from here.

San Diego UNDER 11 wins (-115) - 1 star
Last season Norv Turner took over a 14-2 team and promptly started out 5-5. Things looked bleak. But, the Chargers finished strong, winning their final six regular season games and two playoff games. Turner held off the naysayers. But, they'll be back if his team struggles again. While many look at the Chargers as successful in 2007, we don't quite see it that way. The fact is, they were 14-2 the year before and were sitting at .500 more than halfway through the season. Yes, they caught lightning in a bottle at the end of the year, but, we see cracks in this armor. Their defense was very strong at the end of last season but they took as step backwards overall in 2007 and LaDanian Tomlinson is showing signs of age and wear. Phillip Rivers was inconsistent last season and, like his team, took a step backwards. He'll be back after ACL surgery and if you recall, that's not a good sign for the first season back (see Carson Palmer and Donovan McNabb). This is still an extremely talented team on the field but there are question marks at QB and head coach and we see them struggling to get to 11 wins. more on san diego

Tennessee UNDER 8 wins (-120) - 1 star
Last season the Titans won 10 games. That was a surprise but an even bigger surprise was how they did it. It wasn't Vince Young, who regressed. It was the defense that really stepped up. Vegas has set their win total two full games below their 2007 win total but we still think that's not quite a good enough adjustment. The Titans again found ways to win games they probably shouldn't last year and this is likely to catch up to them. They were not as good as other 10-win teams. In his rookie campaign, Vince Young looked unstoppable. But, in the NFL, defenses adjust very well. Last season they made him look below average. He didn't improve in his second year which is a big yellow flag. Combine that with the fact that his receiving corp is very weak and you get a Titans offense that will struggle as teams put eight in the box and force the passing game to beat them. The Titans play a top-5 toughest schedule this season as well. Unless the defense has another miracle year, those ten 2007 wins could turn into ten 2008 losses. more on tennessee

Washington OVER 7.5 wins (-130) - 1 star
The Redskins had a rough 2007. The press was around Sean Taylor's untimely death but a bigger blow was the loss of two starting offensive linemen in the first two weeks of last season. That's 40% of your starting line down for nearly the entire season. While those players don't get the press, don't underestimate the impact of that kind of loss on an offense. The players, Jon Jansen and Randy Thomas, are back this season. Despite the weird stellar peformance of Todd Collins late last season, Jason Campbell is the starter. With another year under his belt, a new West-Coast offense, and his linemen back, we expect good things from Campbell. He has three very capable weapons in Antwaan Randele El, Santana Moss and Chris Cooley. With the passing game improved, expect Clinton Portis to also thrive in this West Coast offense (especially in the passing game). more on washington

New Orleans OVER 9 wins (-125) - 2 stars
The Saints were predicted to win nine to ten games last season but were a major dissapointment, turning in just seven wins. A team that was the darling of the NFL and the media a year prior, regressed into a team reminiscent of the "Aints." Drew Brees, All World in 2006, started 2007 in terrible fashion. Duece McCallister went down with an ACL injury, and Reggie Bush looked frail. All in all, it was a very rough year for a team expected to compete for the NFC Championship. Well, we think the bandwagon was a year early. We like the Saints' chances at a double-digit win season in 2008. After a disasterous 0-4 start to last season, the Saints adjusted to their early-season problems and the team closed out the season on a 7-5 run. They shored up a problem defense in the offseason, bringing in Jonathan Vilma at middle LB and Bobby McCray at defensive end. They also drafted two strong defenders in the first two rounds in Sedrick Ellis and Tracy Porter and brought in Randall Gay and Aaaron Glenn via free agency. On offense they brought in a big-time playmaker in Jeremy Shockey. Facing a very easy schedule in the NFC South, we like this team to rebound in 2008. more on new orleans

Oakland OVER 6 wins (-110) - 2 stars
There has been no team as bad as the Oakland Raiders the past half-century in the NFL (61 losses). They've had some high draft choices and again this year, they grabbed a high-profile name in Darren McFadden. Given that Justin Fargas could rack up 1,000+ behind this offensive line, we have high hopes for McFadden. Jamarcus Russell finally gets the nod, a season too late. He'll certainly have his share of struggles, but he did get some good playing time under his belt at the end of last season so it won't be a completely rude awakening for the former #1 draft pick. He'll be throwing to the newly acquired Jevon Walker, Ronald Curry and Drew Carter. Don't get us wrong. This is not a stellar offense. But, it's much better than last year. And, the defense is also average. They were awesome in 2006 and bad in 2007. Neither is probably reflective of the truth - the defense is medicore. But, for the Raiders, coming off two and four win seasons, have a low bar to clear here. We think, thanks to the league's third easiest schedule, the Raiders can get to seven wins this season behind an improved defense and the legs of McFadden. more on oakland

Seattle OVER 9 wins (-115) - 2 stars
Mike Holmgren has nearly done it all. He's won a Super Bowl and has won four straight division titles. Over the last five years, he has notched more wins than any other coach outside of Bill Bellichick and Tony Dungy. Holmgren looks to get a fifth in his last season as head coach of the Seahawks (Jim Mora has been announced as the 2009 HC). We like Holmgren's chances at the fifth division title. While the first three titles came thanks to a potent offense, last year the team did it with defense (led by Pro Bowlers Lofa Tatupu and Julian Peterson). The offense has been steadily falling over the past couple of years. Julius Jones and T.J. Duckett will take over for an ineffective Shaun Alexander. They added Pro Bowl guard Mike Wahle from the Panthers to shore up a line that struggled in 2007. New OL coach Mike Solari comes from the Chiefs where the running game, to say the least, was quite successful. The receiving corp is a big question mark but Hasselbeck will find a way to be successful enough. The West is pretty weak so this team, with a strong defense and improved running game, should be able to match or exceed last year's 10-win mark. more on seattle

New York Jets UNDER 7.5 wins (-120) - 2 stars CANCELLED (Favre joined)
The Jets parlayed an easy 2006 schedule, and some luck, to a 10-6 season. In 2007, they faced the league's toughest schedule and their luck turned and they reverted to a 4-12 mark. All of a sudden Eric Mangini went from genius to question mark. What happens in 2008? Vegas predicts a big rebound (double their 2007 wins). We aren't so sure that's coming. The most important position on the team, quarterback, is still in question. Chad Pennington struggled last season both due to injury and poor play. Kellen Clemens didn't look good last season. Much of the blame for both QB's performance rests with an offensive line that let defenders through at will. Pennington's poor arm strength and lack of mobility couldn't handle the pressure. Clemens' inexperience also caused him to buckle under the pressure. They made offseason improvements here with the addition of Alan Faneca. They also made improvements on defense in the offeseason. But, will it be enough? With the influx of new players, 2009 might be the season for this team. In 2008, gelling must take place and that's not instant. We just don't see this team as a winning one in 2008. more on new york CANCELLED (Favre joined) - NO BET

Cleveland UNDER 8 wins (-110) - 2 stars
Thanks to the holdout by Brady Quinn last season, another Cleveland backup QB got his chance, and thrived. Derek Anderson had a breakout season after replacing Charlie Frye in week two. Cleveland fans haven't been this excited since Bernie Kosar retired. The big question now is, what to do? Obviously after a season like he had, you have to go with Anderson. But, doubts remain. Is he really that good? If so, why couldn't he break through in Baltimore? Why didn't he win the starting job in training camp last season? Is Cleveland really going to keep Quinn on the bench or trade him? We aren't yet sold on Anderson. This year will tell us if he's really a discovered hidden gem or a one-hit wonder. Brady Quinn's future will also be determined by default. The Browns benefited from an unusually healthy season last year, especially on the offensive line. That's not likely to repeat itself again. Jamal Lewis had an outstanding 2007 but he's getting older and is definitely at risk of running out of steam. If Kellen Winslow and Brayon Edwards can again stay healthy, they should again do very well, but that's a big if given these players' history. The Browns' biggest weakness, which wasn't addressed in a major way, is their defense. So, with a poor defense, and a lot of question marks on offense, we see Cleveland regressing this season. more on cleveland
