NFL MVP Pick

D. Prescott to win NFL MVP(+4000)NFL Futures

Reasoning

In Dak Prescott’s last fully healthy season, he finished 2nd in MVP voting behind Lamar Jackson. I like this longshot for many reasons. First off, George Pickens is a great complementary piece in that Dallas offense and should take some of the pressure off of CeeDee Lamb. Secondly, Dallas has legitimate defensive concerns. This should lead to the Cowboys needing to pass in all 4 quarters in most games because they may be dragged into shootouts. Lastly, Dallas doesn’t project to have a legitimate run game. I truly think the Cowboys may be a team that has the highest pass percentage of plays in the league. Fighting with the defending champion Eagles and emerging Commanders will be tough in the NFC East, but Dak has shown he can be elite. At +4000 odds, this feels worth taking a shot on.

NFL MVP Pick

J. Burrow to win NFL MVP(+650)NFL Futures

Reasoning

Joe Burrow has not yet won an MVP award. Last season, he made a serious case for being the best QB in the league. Despite that, his defense performed so poorly that it cost him both a trip to the playoffs with the Bengals and truly being in contention for the award. This feels like the year that Cincinnati returns to the postseason and shows why they made a Super Bowl appearance just a few years ago. Burrow has acknowledged that he feels the best he’s ever felt and that he’s entirely healthy. Last year, the star signal-caller threw for 4,918 yards with 43 touchdowns and just 9 interceptions. If he can replicate those stats but win 12 games instead of 9, this award should be his.

Super Bowl 60 Winner Pick

BAL Ravens to win Super Bowl 60(+650)NFL Futures

Reasoning

The team that looks primed to finally go the distance is the Baltimore Ravens. Last year, Baltimore was a premier offense in every way; 1st in yards per pass and yards per rush, top-3 in most categories, and excellent on 3rd down and in the red zone, too. Other than their well-documented upset losses (Baltimore lost to the Raiders and Browns, 2 of the worst teams last year), the Ravens were at the top of the Super Bowl odds all last season. A bad half of turnovers and early deficit was too much to overcome in the Divisional Round, but the Ravens are still the top team to fear in the AFC — as they should be.

The Ravens lost Brandon Stephens and Josh Jones, both good pass protectors, but retain the core members of their front. Derrick Henry proved to be the perfect fit in 2024 (1,921 yards, 2nd-most overall), and they added veteran WR DeAndre Hopkins, among the most elite pass-catchers of the last decade. Their defense also picked up Jaire Alexander, as if they needed any help in an already talent-stacked secondary. Roquan Smith is one of the game’s best defensive leaders (81 total tackles in 2024, 11th), and their front-seven is growing before our eyes (6th in sack-rate last season).

The Ravens are as legitimate as they’ve ever been, and if any season was set up for Baltimore to win it all, I believe it’s this one. Although, I would recommend you wait until Week 4 or Week 5 to invest; Baltimore has a really tough opening schedule against the Bills, Browns, Lions and Chiefs.

What Are NFL Futures Bets

Another great way to bet on the NFL is through the futures markets and playoff predictions. The NFL Futures markets, as their name may suggest, offer longevity, with an entire season or remainder of the season still to play for depending on when you bet on them. Where a straight wager or a weekly NFL Parlay, is all over in a day, NFL Futures allow you to bet on a season-long bet.

The most popular NFL futures bets are either team-based or player-based futures. Team-based NFL futures will include winning it all with Super Bowl bets, as well as NFL Division Winners and NFL Conference Winners, or even an over/under on a team’s season win total.

Player-based NFL futures are betting on a player’s season performance, either through stats leaders, such as most passing, rushing, or receiving yards, or to scoop a prize at the NFL honors such as MVP, Offensive Rookie of The Year, or Comeback Player of the year to name a few.

Before the 2025/26 NFL season kicks off we’ll preview all of the top futures markets, while also closely monitoring the NFL week to week to highlight the best NFL futures bets as the season progresses and the playoff picture begins to take shape.

How To Bet On NFL Futures

Betting on NFL futures is just as simple as any other bet type. Simply head to your favorite sportsbook, and click on the NFL tab to find all of the current NFL markets available. Also, be sure to check out the best online sportsbook promo codes for new player bonus offers.

The majority of online sportsbooks will either have an NFL futures section or possibly refer to the Futures markets as Outright Markets, click whichever of these they use and you’ll find a list of odds for the available NFL futures markets. Depending on the time of the year you’ll find odds on everything from the Super Bowl Odds to Division and Conference winner odds and a variety of player stats and player awards odds. Timing is everything in NFL futures markets so be sure to keep checking out when our experts release their picks, predictions, and analysis across all of the NFL futures markets.

NFL Futures – 2025-26 AFC & NFC Championship Predictions

You can bet on NFL Conference Championship Game futures both on the AFC Championship and NFC Championship Winners pretty much from Super Bowl to Super Bowl. Bettors may opt to bet on a team to win their conferences rather than the Super Bowl as a safer option if they’re confident in having found the best team in the AFC or NFC or if they’re looking to hedge a Super Bowl Pick. Our expert NFL handicappers will be on hand ahead of the 2025/26 NFL season to preview both NFL conferences and break down the contenders and best NFL Conference Futures bets heading into the season.

NFL Futures – 2025-26 NFL Division Predictions

Similar to the NFL Conference Futures, the NFL Division Futures is another way to have a season-long bet on a team you like to win their division. Some divisions will have short odds favorites like the Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, and San Francisco 49ers will be minus-money favorites, but picking against these or in the more competitive NFL divisions provides big odds winners year on year. Our expert NFL handicappers will be on hand ahead of the 2025/26 NFL season to preview all eight of the NFL divisions, the contenders, and the best NFL Division Futures bets heading into the season. Be sure to check out our previews and predictions ahead of the NFL Wildcard Weekend and NFL Divisional Round games once the regular season has concluded.

2025-26 NFL Award Predictions

NFL Awards are a talking point amongst experts and fans alike throughout the entire NFL season. The main NFL Honors Awards will be available to bet on at the top sportsbooks, with odds available on markets such as NFL MVP, NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, NFL Comeback Player of the Year, and many more throughout the season. Our expert NFL handicappers preview all of the top NFL player awards markets, making their predictions on the best value plays on each. We’ll look at previous awards trends, stats, positions, schedules, and more to determine our NFL Award Predictions.

2025-26 NFL MVP Odds & NFL MVP Predictions

The biggest and most talked-about award of the NFL season is in some way the NFL MVP Odds and contenders. In a true team sport, everyone wants to chase the biggest of all personal accolades, and many NFL fans and bettors will get in on the action too. The NFL MVP race is one that has been dominated by quarterbacks, with only Adrian Peterson in 2007, and LaDainian Tomlinson in 2006 the two non-quarterback-winning MVPs in the last 15 years. The NFL MVP Odds will reflect this and be quarterback top-heavy and our NFL Betting experts will break down all the front-runners, the best NFL MVP Odds, and even those longshot sprinkle plays in the NFL MVP race.

NFL Futures Player Stats Predictions

Aside from the awards, the other way to wager on NFL Player Futures bets is through stats-based performance measurables. These can either be to lead the league in a certain category such as Passing Yards, Rushing Yards, Receiving Yards, or in Interceptions or Sacks. Each stat category will be priced by all the leading sportsbooks and our NFL Futures Player Stat Predictions will analyze the best NFL Player Stats Predictions ahead of the 2025 season. You can also wager on over/under markets for individual players in similar categories such as passing, rushing, or receiving yard categories.

NFL futures markets are among the places that bettors can find the best value and is an area our NFL handicappers will always look to capitalize on. With mercurial research of every possible outcome, you can rest assured that there will always be value with our futures predictions.
