Once Super Bowl 50 ended, and Peyton Manning raised the Vince Lombardi trophy, the VERY early odds for next season began to appear all over the web for all online betting websites. The odds at that point seemed too far-fetched to consider, but they did held the New England Patriots as favorites. Now, as the NFL draft approaches, the Pats still are the favorite team to win it all next season, but the defending champs, with their bizarre Quarterback issues, are falling back in the odds and underdogs to pull a back-to-back, despite keeping their powerful defense intact.

The most benefited teams during the off-season moves have been the Seattle Seahawks, Bengals and Steelers as they keep good odds (according experts on betting on NFL). It is interesting to see that top two picks for the NFL Draft, Rams and Eagles, haven’t had their odds change that much. However, once the draft is done, those odds might be adjusting to their possibilities.

The 2016 rookie class has an exceptional talent pool to choose from and many of the players on this draft could potentially leave some immediate impact on the league. Depending on how both teams select, they could begin to shape and lay the foundations for a future project of successful teams. If you bet on NFL games regularly, you know that both the Eagles and Rams are in need of fresh young talent to revitalize their teams.

The Online betting on NFL season is still a long way from starting, but there are already some interesting developments in the odds front. With the recent publication of the full schedule, that feeling that Football is coming is in the air. Can you feel it?
