The NFL is a 24/7/365 sport in the minds of most people, so it should come as no surprise that less than two weeks after Super Bowl LX, we have win total odds for the 2026 season. The NFL drives the bus in the sports world and the sports betting industry, meaning that it’s never too early for oddsmakers to get a feel for what to expect and also for bettors to supply the demand for these markets to get posted.
DraftKings Sportsbook put up some fascinating numbers on Feb. 18 with all 32 teams lined, even though there will be a lot of movin’ and shakin’ with the rosters thanks to free agency and the upcoming NFL Draft. Teams are going to have to get their financial situations in order, decide on franchise tags, and try to find takers for their bad contracts. But, if you can correctly forecast what may happen, you can get some good value on some early wagers.
If nothing else, even if you don’t want to tie up your money for a long period of time for these to be settled, at least we have a barometer of how the books value these teams as of now.

Early Season Win Total Musings
With so much player movement yet to come, here are a handful of random thoughts regarding these lines and some of the teams.
– There are 10 new head coaches in the NFL:
- Arizona (Mike LaFleur)
- Atlanta (Kevin Stefanski)
- Baltimore (Jesse Minter)
- Buffalo (Joe Brady)
- Cleveland (Todd Monken)
- Las Vegas (Klint Kubiak)
- Miami (Jeff Hafley)
- NY Giants (John Harbaugh)
- Pittsburgh (Mike McCarthy)
- Tennessee (Robert Saleh)
Based on the season win totals, only Buffalo and Pittsburgh have a win total line lower than the number of wins accumulated last season. New beginnings are always going to draw some excitement, optimism, and enthusiasm, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it will show up in the results. For eight of the 10 teams with new coaches to be expected to improve based on these lines, there may be some good value on Unders.
– The 49ers, Rams, and Seahawks all have win totals of 10.5 (all went Over in 2025)
While the NFC West was obviously exceptional, the division was a huge outlier in 2025. It was the first time since the 2020 COVID season that three teams in the same division had 11+ wins (AFC North). That is the only other time it has happened in the current divisional format that dates back to 2002, but there are 17 games per season now instead of 16, so it could happen more frequently. Still, history would suggest that one of those three teams does go Under 10.5 in 2026.
– Two teams went from worst to first in their division in 2025; who is the best bet for 2026?
Since the 2002 realignment, the only seasons without a team going worst to first in the division are 2014, 2019, and 2024. The Bears and Patriots did it this past season.
The season win total lines for the last-place teams from 2025 are:
- Jets: 5.5
- Browns: 6.5
- Titans: 6.5
- Raiders: 5.5
- Giants: 7.5
- Lions: 10.5
- Saints: 7.5
- Cardinals: 4.5
The Lions clearly have the best chance from their line and with the current state of their roster, plus they’re a bit of an outlier as a team that went 9-8 in 2025. Nevertheless, this has been a trend that has been fulfilled more often than not and of the 27 teams to go from worst to first since 2002, 23 of them had six or fewer wins the previous season.
Once again, you don’t necessarily have to bet into this market and tie your money up, but getting a starting point is something to think about and reference as the offseason plays out.
