True or False? 2021 Win Total Projection

[Stymietee]

It's still early but projections by big-time odds makers can be significant enough to take note of. It will be interesting to learn how close to accurate this board believes they are at this point of the year.

Caesars Sportsbook by William Hill has set win totals for all NFL teams for the 2021 season, and the Cowboys have a line of 9.5 wins. That total is tops in the NFC East.

NFC EAST:

Cowboys (9.5),

Washington (8),

Giants (7),

Eagles (7)

I voted true because i dont factor in what teams did a year ago or the results of a team last year i think the club has gotten better on offense our key guys are young and they will progress bigger and stronger .. the question is how many ACL injurys or other out for the year injuries will happen in Aug preseason... the club was 7-9 last year that means nothing this year i do think the club can hit the 8 W mark .. my decision is based off who we have and the proggession of team .. example surely a 2nd year system under del rio the defense will be better etc etc ..

Well, this years schedule is not last years. Given our direction, 8 wins seems within reach so true. However, I do not think the "other" teams win totals are accurate.

I like these projections, one game may be the difference between repeating as Champs

Las Vegas is normally not off by much when they post their futures bets so the odds you posted look pretty accurate to me. These odds appear to make the NFC East look weak once again but keep in mind that Vegas can change their odds at anytime which means they might or might not change them once the draft and all the trading is complete. Also keep in mind that Vegas does not spend millions of dollars in lighting to light up their sportsbooks because they are losing money.

If I was forced to bet all the win totals you posted right now I would bet UNDER on all four of them for the same amount of money and I think I would stand a very good chance of winning 3 out of 4 of my bets or 2 out of 3 of these bets with a PUSH. I guess this means that I see the NFC East as being even weaker than Vegas sees them as being.

Outsider, I think thats fair, but I could see either The Team or Giants taking the East.

Any decent QB play along with the Defense in DC could put you all in first, especially with the LACK of defense we saw in Dallas last season.

I hope ti problems in Dallas was more Nolan than it was on field talent.

 

[skinsdad62]

i say under on all before the draft

 

[Sportster 72]

Remember everyone gets one extra game this year.

 

[tomcat1]

i say under on all before the draft

I say you are absolutely correct!

 

[tomcat1]

Remember everyone gets one extra game this year.

Vegas knows this and smart bettors do too. I still think all of the NFC East teams will go UNDER their posted win totals before the draft. What I'm interested in seeing is how Vegas adjusts these win totals after the draft.

I'm betting under on all four as well. Going in they all face tougher schedules than a year ago and there has not been enough improvement at this point to overcome deficiencies. So, here's my snapshot look at each and a far too early prediction based on that snapshot.

G-Ropers are an offensive team and will have to score much more often than their defense gives up in scores. Considering their defense that's not going to be an easy task. Prediction: G-Ropers get 7 or 8 wins

Washington absolutely still needs a QB, their deficiency at linebacker hurts them. Both positional holes go hand in hand because what they're going to need is an offense that can stay on the field and dominate TOP AND a defense that can get off of the field. Without either the defense will be spending long periods of time on the field, the offense not so much. Either way, it's a formula for mounting losses. Prediction: Washington gets between 5 to 8 wins. (I'm leaning more towards that 5)

Philly is in rebuild mode, they will surprise a team or two winning games that they'll be counted out of prior to playing them. Jalen Hurts will have an up and down season and not give the organization a full measure of himself leaving them still wondering if he is that guy for them. They will lean heavily upon their defense to win games. Prediction: Philly gets 6 and no more than 7 wins.

G-men the enigma of this division and is the one team that might surprise us all by going over the 7 predicted. I'm actually impressed with the work that Joe Judge is doing with this team. Right now it looks like he is the class leader of the 4 currently leading their teams. If ever there was a condition If ever there was a moment in which an entire season hung in the hands of one player, in New York, It all depends on what Daniel Jones does or fails to do. Prediction: G-Men get exactly 7 wins ( but could go as high as 10.)

You know what sucks is if we took the 5 wins last year then look at what we had a shot at ? Now hopefully a qb or 2 or 3 will rise up next draft if we go 5 wins

The ethics of tanking was a big topic of conversation here last year, That "win" against Philly in the season finale hurt their draft status and it turned out didn't prevent them from "winning" the division. A 6-10 finish wins the division and would have put them 11th in this draft. That's an 8 positional jump and all that something like that entails. I looked at next year's QB class and right now it appears to be rather weak. Hoping for the next Joe Burrows surprise is not something that I'd depend on but at this point. If they aren't still in the Watson market and will shock the hell out of me by not trading up to get their guy, then they're wasting valuable time and opportunity with the players that they currently have. Put a Watson or a second-year Fields/Lance on the current roster, minus whatever it would cost to get either, and they are a 10+ win team.

Ridder and Rattler are guys to watch

You're reading my mind. Since we are giving pre-draft snapshots your snapshot looks pretty spot on to me. If one were to bet UNDER in total wins for all four NFC East teams the Giants would concern me the most and that's why I used the word PUSH in a post above since they might land right on the number of 7 wins. But like you said, they could win more games than that because they quietly had good free agent signings, they play the Eagles twice, and they play us twice which is a team they seem to own. IF (a big IF) the Giants were to win all four of these games they would need only 3 more wins to land right on their number of 7 and I think they could easily do that with possibly another win or two to go OVER their total posted wins. As usual it will be interesting to see how all of this turns out.

So glad that you mentioned the "snapshot," we all know that things change and they do so quickly in the NFL, however, at this point we're definitely looking at this division in the same way.

I will try to remember to post the Las Vegas futures odds on total wins for all of the NFC East teams after the draft is completed so that we can compare those odds to the pre-draft odds you have already posted accurately.

Wow, your assesment of Philly and WFT sound about the same but Philly gets 1-2 more wins with Hurts huh? And how can Joe Judge be the class leader of the division after last season and after what RR has accomplished in one season? RR had to deal with cancer, deceitful owner, name changes, covid, broken qb's, terrible LB'er play and internal working turmoil related to a significant culture change inside the org AND you say Joe Judge is the leader heading into 2021?
RR is clearly the HDIC heading into this season imo of this division.

Sty is right about fitz , his career shows what he is not that I won’t hope he is better then his career shows

Giants had a lot of injuries too and some management issues as well. Granted no owner is worse than Snyder (a few ties though) all had to deal with Covid, the name change has no effect on the field and the Giants also had uncertainty at QB (they still do). Now eliminating the Ropers and Eagles head coaches that leave the Giants and Washington with all of the troubles each team had/has New York beat our team twice last year. That is my justification even though both improved in spots this year.
