Biggest NFL Drop-offs in 2010
2010-06-01
There are always teams that have fantastic seasons and then completely fall off the map. In my opinion, a few teams seem like prime candidates to go down in flames this year. Here are my picks for biggest drop-off teams for the upcoming season. Knowing who will fall is huge for NFL betting. If you can see before most bettors that teams are on the decline you can make a killing betting on NFL games.
- The New York Jets: With a rookie coach and quarterback, the Jets made a legendary run last season. The stars aligned for them and they slid right into the conference title game. Too bad they ran into the juggernaut that is the Colts. With loss of Leon Washington and the general uncertainly of Mark Sanchez, the near future does not look so bright for the Jets. Look for Rex Ryan and the crew to come back to earth and have a mediocre at best season.
- The Houston Texans: No, they did not make the playoffs last year, but they did have the best record in franchise history. With that being said, Matt Schaub was healthy for the entire year. This is the first time in his career he has been able to pull that off, and do not be surprised if the injury bug bites Schaub again this season. Look for the Texans to slip back into mediocrity again this season.
- The San Diego Chargers: Norv Turner and the boys had a solid season again last year. The only problem is they blew what should have been a layup game to the Jets in the playoffs. With a shaky draft at best and questions marks on more than a few spots on the defense, look for the Chargers slide down the ladder in a division that seems to get tougher every season.
All of these teams have a great deal of issues to address before the upcoming season. That does not mean, however, that they cannot get everything together and have a great campaign this year. We will just have to wait and see if these teams can get it together for another run or will just be left in the dust. Keep your eyes open when placing your NFL bets as these teams could break your heart, or your parlay! Head over the home of NFL betting www.sportsbook.com where everybody bets.
