New England Patriots odds to win the 2012 AFC East: -650
New England Patriots regular season win total: OVER 12 -125/UNDER 12 EVEN
New England Patriots 2012 Schedule:
Week 1: at Tennessee Week 2: Arizona Week 3: at Baltimore Week 4: at Buffalo Week 5: Denver Week 6: at Seattle Week 7: New York Jets Week 8: at St. Louis Week 9: BYE Week 10: Buffalo Week 11: Indianapolis Week 12: at New York Jets Week 13: at Miami Week 14: Houston Week 15: San Francisco Week 16: at Jacksonville Week 17: Miami
With the New England Patriots essentially co-favorites to win the 2013 Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers early on, it can be assumed New England is expected to win every regular season game. On paper, they probably can.
Being somewhat realistic Gambling911.com would give at least one loss in the division (probably to the Jets on the road) and a loss on the road to Baltimore.
Their schedule looks especially soft, however, and there is little to suggest the Patriots cannot win OVER 12 regular season games. After all, the only over .500 team they play on the road outside of the division competition are the Ravens. The -125 actually is not a bad price either.
The Pats should win the AFC East easily, but at a price of -650 there is just too little value. You would be risking $650 just to win $100 (the $650 bet of course is returned should New England win).
New York Jets odds to win the 2012 AFC East: +650
New York Jets regular season win total: OVER 9 EVEN / UNDER 9 -135
New York Jets 2012 Schedule:
Week 1: Buffalo Week 2: at Pittsburgh Week 3: at Miami Week 4: San Francisco Week 5: Houston (Mon.) Week 6: Indianapolis Week 7: at New England Week 8: Miami Week 9: BYE Week 10: at Seattle Week 11: at St. Louis Week 12: New England (Thurs.) Week 13: Arizona Week 14: at Jacksonville Week 15: at Tennessee (Mon.) Week 16: San Diego Week 17: at Buffalo
The oddsmakers believe that the New York Jets will be a .500 team, winning just 8 as the UNDER 9 had a line set at -135.
Gambling911.com believes New York should be able to win all of their home division games plus what should be a meaningless game in Buffalo the final week of the regular season.
At home they have two teams they should be able to beat: Indianapolis and Arizona. On paper they would probably be able to handle San Diego during the final week of the regular season as well.
While it is possible the Jets will win at home against either the San Francisco 49ers or Houston Texans, more likely they can take two of three on the road against either Seattle, St. Louis or Jacksonville.
Unless the Jets completely implode this season, New York has a very decent shot of going OVER 9 at EVEN odds.
Miami Dolphins odds to win the 2012 AFC East: 10/1
Miami Dolphins regular season win total: OVER 7 EVEN / UNDER 7 -125
Miami Dolphins 2012 Schedule:
Week 1: at Houston Week 2: Oakland Week 3: New York Jets Week 4: at Arizona Week 5: at Cincinnati Week 6: St. Louis Week 7: BYE Week 8: at New York Jets Week 9: at Indianapolis Week 10: Tennessee Week 11: at Buffalo (Thurs.) Week 12: Seattle Week 13: New England Week 14: at San Francisco Week 15: Jacksonville Week 16: Buffalo Week 17: at New England
Oddsmakers believe the Dolphins will endure a record of UNDER .500. With limited talent on offense and Miami’s failure to snag Jeff Fisher as head coach, Gambling911.com has to believe the oddsmakers are right here.
Now granted, if this team is even remotely better than last year’s Dolphins squad, they do have a chance at beating Oakland, St. Louis, Tennessee, Seattle, Jacksonville and Buffalo at home and Arizona, Indianapolis and Buffalo on the road. But that would be such a stretch.
They can probably still win 7 games, so the OVER/UNDER here is a little tough to put money on.
