Making 32 bets before the season might feel like a lot, but when you look at how many markets are available to wager on — team futures, win totals, award markets, player props, "Game of the Year" betting, etc., it's really not all that excessive. Of course, if you had just blindly bet one unit on each of all 32 of our plays from last year's article, you'd have been up 7.26 units, and you're probably thrilled to see we're back with this article again.

We'll start in the AFC, with one bet for each team in the NFL this season.
The best-case scenario for Baltimore is that Jesse Minter and a bolstered defensive front works well enough that the majority of Ravens games are in control in the fourth quarter — and when they are, Derrick Henry can salt them away without Lamar Jackson needing to scramble around.
Optimism is high for Jackson's statistics because he comes into the season healthy, but like last year, he may not stay that way. Whether that means missed time, or similar inefficiency to 2025 when he had just 349 rushing yards on 67 carries in 13 games, we'll bet Jackson — turning 30 this season — doesn't get loose frequently enough to clear this rushing total.
