Welcome, football fans, to a thrilling dive into the world of longshot bets in the NFL. Throughout history, there has always been at least one team that rose from the ashes to claim victory in their division. Last season, it was the Texans who shocked the world with a 10-7 record, following in the footsteps of the Jaguars in the AFC South. As we look ahead to the 2024 NFL campaign, the question on everyone’s mind is – which underdog team will defy the odds this time?
7. Arizona Cardinals
Some may underestimate the Patriots in the NFL power rankings, but betting on New England to conquer the fierce AFC East is akin to burning money. The rookie quarterback, Drake Maye, may show promise, but he pales in comparison to the Commanders’ Jayden Daniels when it comes to longshot bets.
Despite facing a barrage of injuries last season, there are signs of hope for New England. However, my projections only predict a little over five wins for the team.
The Cardinals have been generating buzz in the offseason, especially with the dynamic Kyler Murray leading the charge and the exciting rookie Marvin Harrison Jr. in the mix. However, Arizona’s lackluster defense and tough early-season schedule may dampen their prospects.
6. Carolina Panthers
Bryce Young, the young quarterback for the Panthers, is poised for improvement after a lackluster rookie season. With the addition of coach Dave Canales, who worked wonders with Baker Mayfield in Tampa Bay, Young might be in for a breakout year.
5. Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers have bolstered their roster with upgrades in offensive weapons and improved pass protection. Jim Harbaugh’s squad is looking to bounce back from a disappointing season and show the world what they’re made of.
As we count down the longshot bets for the upcoming NFL season, the excitement continues to build. Which team will rise from obscurity and claim victory this time around? Stay tuned as we explore the possibilities and uncover the hidden gems in the world of American football.
