NFL Offseason: A Look Ahead to 2025
As the NFL offseason progresses in Cleveland, teams across the league are gearing up for what lies ahead. With organized team activities in full swing and training camps just around the corner, fans are beginning to focus on the upcoming season. Rather than looking backward to 2024, discussions now revolve around what to expect as we prepare for the 2025 campaign.
This a great time for forecasting which teams might struggle this coming season based on recent performances and current roster situations. According to recent information from FanDuel sportsbook, some teams are particularly likely to fall short of their win totals.
Browns: Over/Under 5.5 Wins
The Browns face a significant hurdle: they do not currently have a solid quarterback. Adding to their challenges, they also encounter one of the toughest schedules in the league. Many experts predict they will struggle to secure even six wins, which could position them for a high draft pick next year.
Saints: Over/Under 5.5 Wins
In New Orleans, uncertainty at quarterback also reigns supreme. With offseason workouts showcasing Spencer Rattler, Jake Haener, and rookie Tyler Shough, the Saints are in a precarious spot. Last season, they finished with a disappointing 5-12 record, and with a lack of offensive firepower, fans should brace for a difficult season ahead.
Colts: Over/Under 7.5 Wins
The Colts find themselves in a similar predicament, flaunting two questionable quarterbacks in Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones. Their defensive performance last season left much to be desired, ranking near the bottom of the league. Without significant improvement on that side of the ball, expectations for a winning season may be premature.
Steelers: Over/Under 8.5 Wins
Over in Pittsburgh, the Steelers have their own quarterback concerns. Whether it’s Aaron Rodgers or another option, the team’s future remains uncertain. Even with a historic track record of not finishing under .500, this season may prove different due to a tough schedule and ongoing questions about the overall team performance.
Dolphins: Over/Under 8.5 Wins
Lastly, the Dolphins finished last season at 8-9, but their current situation looks volatile. With Jarvis Landry drama and potential trade discussions swirling, their secondary stands to suffer. The health of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa remains a concern, and if any key offensive players underperform or miss time, the Dolphins could be in for a rocky season.
As we approach the start of the NFL season, it’s crucial for fans to keep an eye on these interesting narratives and potential pitfalls. As teams work through their rosters and prepare for the grind of the 2025 campaign, one can’t help but wonder how many of these predictions will ring true by season’s end.
