The Caesars Palace 2020 NFL win-total lines are out and a lot of attention has been paid to both the Buccaneers and Patriots. Vegas has set Tampa Bay’s line at nine wins while New England is listed at 8.5. Both feel about right.
However, next season won’t entirely revolve around Tom Brady. There are a few win-total lines that look like good value. Here are two overs and two unders to watch on the Caesars Palace 2020 NFL win-total lines list.
Caesars Palace 2020 NFL win-total lines – Overs
Green Bay Packers – 8.5 wins
This is an easy over. The Packers won 13 games last season and are going into year two under Mat LaFleur. The NFC North still isn’t very good with the Lions and Bears 8-8 teams at the best and the Vikings possibly weaker than they were in 2019. Green Bay’s schedule isn’t all that daunting with home games against the Panthers, Falcons and Jaguars all very winnable. The road schedule is tougher with trips to New Orleans, San Francisco and Tampa on deck.
The Packers didn’t do much in the offseason which is why Vegas seems to be down on them. The team’s only real loss was Bryan Bulaga and the team hasn’t really replaced him. That being said, Green Bay easily clears 8.5 wins next season as long as Aaron Rodgers is healthy.
Washington Redskins – 4.5
Ron Rivera has won at least five games in every season he has coached. That includes last year, even though he was fired after week 13. The team he is inheriting in Washington isn’t very good, but there are enough pieces to be competitive as long as Dwayne Haskins doesn’t completely bust out in 2020.
The schedule has plenty of opportunities to scrape together five wins. Washington gets the Giants twice as well as home games against the Bengals and Panthers. They could also get an upset at home against the Rams or Seahawks assuming those are 1pm EST/10 am PST kickoffs. They also have road games against the Lions, Steelers and Cardinals that should all be close.
Caesars Palace 2020 NFL win-total lines – Unders
Chicago Bears – 8.5 wins
The Bears and Packers having the same win-total line makes no sense at all. Let’s start with the obvious, the Bears don’t have a quarterback. Nick Foles has only started ten games in a season twice and there is a reason Chicago was the only team interested in trading for him. Mitch Trubisky is too focused on turning off television sets to play football.
The Bears also took an eight-win team from 2019 and made it worse. Chicago signed Jimmy Graham; let Leonard Floyd go so they could sign Robert Quinn; and picked up Germain Ifedi. Their offseason was so bad, Walter Football gave it an “F”. This is an easy under.
New York Jets – 6.5 wins
There just doesn’t seem to be a path for the New York Jets to reach seven wins in 2020. Even if you think they did enough to fix their offensive line, the overall roster is weak. New York doesn’t have much at the skill positions. The secondary is bad. And Adam Gase isn’t exactly a coach that inspires confidence.
Additionally, the schedule doesn’t do the Jets any favors in 2020. The team won seven games last year, but that included wins against the Dolphins, Redskins, Giants and a Bills team resting its starters in week 17. At the moment, New York has home games against Arizona, Las Vegas and Denver that look to be winnable. Indianapolis and both Los Angeles teams are road games they have a shot to win. Then you have Miami and New England twice. Do you really want to bet on the Jets going 7-3 in those contests?
