In Part 1 of our 32 bets for 32 teams ahead of the NFL season, we went up and down the AFC, looking for value in both the team futures and the player prop market; contemplating the statistical ceiling for some, and breaking down why others might not meet expectations.
For Part 2, our attention turns to the NFC. Here is my favorite bet for all 16 teams:
Last season, we could feel positive statistical regression coming for Trey McBride touchdowns, as he was lined at 4.5 after a 2024 season where he scored just twice on 111 receptions.
McBride scored 11 times.
The market's done a better job adjusting to McBride than NFL defenses have, lining him at 6.5 touchdowns this season, but the Cardinals do have more red zone options this season. As a model of consistency with between five and 12 receptions in all but one game in 2025, and wanting to have a piece of McBride in some way, we'll bet on him to hit 100 receptions for a third straight season.
