Philadelphia Eagles 2022 win totals

For the local market, we don’t have to look too far to find the top attractions. The Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers have loyal and passionate followings across the state. As the season approaches, there will be plenty of chatter about what’s in the cards for the two squads that call Pennsylvania home.

Here’s how the Eagles have fared over the last four campaigns in comparison to an estimated win total for each season.

In three of the last four seasons, Under would have been the correct call for bets on the Eagles’ win total. The 2018 and 2019 clubs came close, but the 2020 edition fell woefully short in a dismal campaign.

In 2021, the books set the win total at 6.5 for the 17-game season with new head coach Nick Sirianni and second-year QB Jalen Hurts at the helm. The Birds exceeded expectations, posting 9 wins and sneaking into the playoffs.

Bookmakers set the Eagles’ win total at 8.5 for this year. However, it has moved to 9.5. Thankfully, this adjustment didn’t matter for bettors, as the team’s incredible season wrapped this market up fairly quickly. The Eagles secured their 10th win of 2022 and the over for their season win total in Week 12 against Green Bay.

Pittsburgh Steelers 2022 win totals

The Pittsburgh Steelers are embarking on a new era without Ben Roethlisberger. The Steelers never had a losing season in Roethlisberger’s career. Here’s how the win total story has played out over the past four seasons.

While the concerns over the finish and certain positions are fair, there’s a big variable to consider: head coach Mike Tomlin. Under his watch, the Steelers have won nine or more games 11 times during 16-game regular seasons.

In their first 17-game season, the Steelers came in just under the 9.5 win total.

For this season, PA sportsbooks posted the Steelers’ total at 7.5 wins. This would actually allow Tomlin to break his streak of 15 consecutive seasons without a losing record (an NFL best set last year) and still reach the over mark.

Pittsburgh needs to finish the season at just 8-9 overall to help its over backers. With a tough start to 2022, the Steelers must finish strong in order to have a chance at that.

How NFL win totals work

A few months before the regular season gets underway, sportsbooks release NFL season win totals. Each team will have a number, such as 8.5 wins. There will be odds on both sides of the equation, as in whether the club will go over or under that amount. The average listing looks like what you would see with a standard total bet.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers regular season wins 2022-23

• Over 11.5 (-110)
• Under 11.5 (-110)

Just like a standard over/under bet, there will be the line from the sportsbook — 11.5 in this case — as well as the actual odds for placing the bet. At release, the odds will generally be at the industry standard of -110, but they can shift once betting action develops. For example, the over could move to -115 while the under goes to -108.

To place a bet, you click on the odds that correspond with your choice. Next, add in the amount you want to wager, verify that everything is correct and click submit. The sportsbook will display the potential return, but you can also ballpark it from the odds. At standard odds of -110, you’d have to wager $110 to see a return of $100.

In the case of positive odds like +110, you’d get back that amount for a $100 wager — i.e., $110 — while negative odds like -110 mean that you have to bet $110 for the chance to get $100 back. All legal sportsbooks have house rules in place that you should take the time to review, but there’s one big standard across the industry that you should be aware of:

• In the event of a complete cancellation of a season, futures markets on that sport will be void and bettors will receive refunds.

Also, keep in mind that sportsbooks will treat NFL over under win totals that land exactly on the listed number as a push. For example, if the Steelers odds have a line of nine wins and go on to finish with a mark of 9-8, the bet will be a push. Since it’s a tie, you will receive a refund of your initial stake.

NFL win totals – 3 key stats to consider

Research is your friend when it comes to win totals. Since teams now play 17 games rather than 16, you’ll want to take historical trends or season averages with a grain of salt. Beyond the trends, there are a few key stats that can have a big impact on a team’s improvement or decline in the coming campaign. Here are three to take a look at:

• Turnover margin: Balls bounce funny in the NFL at times, and some teams are just the victims of bad luck in this regard. A turnover can change the course of a game, so look for solid teams that have negative turnover differentials as potential candidates for further improvement.
• Yards per play differential: YPP is a favored stat of seasoned handicappers, and for good reason. It’s a great measure of the overall offensive and defensive efficiency of a team. For the prior season, subtract defensive YPP allowed from offensive YPP and look for those with positive values as teams with a solid base to build on.
• Scoring differential: A simple stat, but one that reveals a lot. Simply take the difference between average points scored and allowed from the previous year. Next, compare the difference to the number of wins. Teams with a large number of victories and a tight difference could be candidates for regression.

Lastly, you won’t be lacking for options when it comes to opinions on NFL futures total wins. There’s a lot of free advice and analytics out there, as well as plenty of paid resources. It’s perfectly fine to examine the sources you trust, but be wary of those promising immediate and complete success for a fee or subscription.

NFL win totals — 3 tips

NFL win totals and other futures open some additional time for wagering on the most heavily bet sport, hence their growing popularity. Whether you’ve been active with win totals for years or you’re new to the concept, here are three ways to sort through the league’s teams in a hurry:

1. Overall team trajectory: In a nutshell, you’ll want a sense of the vibe surrounding a team. Did it close out last year strong? Is there optimism for better days ahead? Any negativity to be concerned about? Little clues such as these can provide a sense of whether the arrow is pointing up or down.
2. Offseason activity: For starters, be sure not to overreact to every solid move a team makes. One signing or draft pick may be a missing piece, but there’s no guarantee of that. Instead, look at the sum of the parts and determine the answer to this question: Has the team gotten better or worse?
3. Coaching change: This can be a positive or a negative, and it really depends on the overall trajectory of the franchise. If it’s a situation where a team needs a kick in the pants and it’s hired a master motivator, improvement could be coming. Clubs that are rebuilding with an unproven commodity, meanwhile, may have a rough road ahead.

By walking through these three steps, you should have a sense of where all 32 teams stand. From there, you can break down your findings and place the clubs in one of three tiers: contenders, fringe contenders and dark horses. Afterwards, compare to listed win totals and dig a little deeper on the ones that really jump out at you.

When is the best time to bet on NFL win totals?

As with all other aspects of NFL handicapping, there are several schools of thought on the best approach to betting on win totals. A large part of the debate revolves around the best time to place these wagers. There are three timeframes to consider, each of which has its merits and disadvantages.

Initial release

Once oddsmakers begin releasing win totals, you can place bets right away.

• Pro: Bet on the freshest possible odds and lines without worrying about market reaction.
• Con: Additional information can develop as the season approaches that impacts a team’s chances.

Before training camp

Following the NFL draft and right before camp, the vast majority of major moves have happened and the market has had time to weigh in.

• Pro: You have a clearer picture of how teams are shaping up for the coming season.
• Con: There could still be some surprises to come that impact the numbers — player injuries, etc.

Following the preseason

Teams are getting set for the games that matter, and the betting public has had ample time to weigh in, with oddsmakers adjusting accordingly.

• Pro: All of the information that can impact a team for the coming season is now part of the equation.
• Con: Betting action and sportsbook reaction will have altered the numbers, potentially lessening the appeal of some wagers.

Interestingly, the answer to the question of when is the best time to wager on win totals can vary by team. For example, a team that you’re high on may not receive much respect from oddsmakers at the initial release, so that could be a perfect time to pounce on the over before the market catches on.

Following the NFL draft, rampant enthusiasm from fans about the prospects of their favorite team can lead to a flurry of action and open the doors to some appealing under bets. Lastly, by the time the preseason is done, there’s inevitably a team or two that has seen its bandwagon reach maximum capacity.

This makes for a fantastic time to tune out the noise and really examine those squads in full detail to determine if they are actually for real or just another preseason darling that will fall flat.

Who sets NFL win totals?

As with the odds and lines for all NFL games, individual sportsbooks set their own win totals. And at each sportsbook, the people who set the totals are oddsmakers. While there may be a single person with whom the buck stops, there’s also a team behind the scenes helping to craft the totals.

Once upon a time, the numbers may have come down to manual calculations. Today, computers and algorithms are valuable members of the team. These will crunch and analyze scores of data points, with oddsmakers sifting through the results. Among the key points considered when crafting win totals are:

• Team performance from prior season.
• Positive or negative momentum from close of prior year.
• Efficiency in all facets of game in comparison to results.
• Additions and subtractions on the player front.
• Coaching hires and any attrition on key parts of staff.
• Schedule for the upcoming season and strength of opponents.

While these are some of the big pieces of the puzzle, there’s a lot more to consider, as well. If you can think of anything that could impact a team’s performance in the coming season in a positive or negative way, it’s likely already part of the sportsbook’s equation.

This may make it sound as if it’s impossible to make any headway with NFL win totals, but remember this: Oddsmakers aren’t always right. When you can learn to spot where they may be wrong or have possibly under- or overvalued a team, you’ll be on the path toward finding some success.

Lastly, you’ll notice that there’s a lot of similarity across the industry when it comes to win totals. You might see a half-game difference in a variety of spots at release, but a full game or more of difference is rare. Why is that? Here are the main reasons:

• Many processes across the industry are standard and lead to similar conclusions.
• There can be some copycatting by which sportsbooks look to stay in line with the shops that they perceive as sharp.
• Seriously skewed numbers will be pounded by heavy hitters and quickly brought back into line with the overall market.

Similar to building a successful NFL team, there’s a whole lot going on behind the scenes at sportsbooks as they work to put out optimal numbers. While they won’t always be right, you can rest assured that a ton of thought has gone into the process.
