National Football League Prediction 2024/25

NFL Predictions 23-24

The NFL is the most popular sport in the United States and has seen consistent growth worldwide. It attracts some of the highest betting action of the year, especially in its playoff and championship games. The league consists of 32 teams divided into two conferences: the American Football Conference (referred to as the AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). Within these two conferences teams are again divided into four divisions of four teams, each of which consists of: AFC/NFC North, South, West and East. The regular season is 18 weeks and sees each team play 17 games with one week off (referred to as a bye-week). Divisions play a role in a team's scheduling as they will face off against their division rivals twice a season, once home and once away. The typical NFL season starts in September and sees the majority of its games being played on Sunday, with one Thursday game and one Monday game also included.

After the regular season, the top 14 teams (seven from each conference) enter into a single-elimination playoff beginning in January. Teams compete in the regular season to win a higher seeding for the playoffs which can hold advantages such as a first-round bye-week or home-field advantage in the playoffs. In total, each conference plays three rounds of playoff games to decide the winners and the two remaining teams take part in the Super Bowl, the league's championship game which takes place at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on February 9, 2025.

The Kansas City Chiefs are the reigning NFL champions after defeating the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime to claim a brilliant Super Bowl LVIII. In winning, they became the first team since the 2004/05 New England Patriots to go back-to-back. Four trips to the Super Bowl in a five-year span for the Chiefs have seen them win three. This team has become a dynasty, led by two-time MVP Patrick Mahomes, they are marginal favourites again. The second favourites are the 49ers who lost to the Chiefs in two of those years, they will be out for revenge.

Betting advices NFL season 23-24

The San Francisco 49ers have come up short against the Kansas City Chiefs in two of the last five Super Bowl games. It is a huge testament to the team that they have made it through the seasons to the decider but they are surely going to be desperate for revenge this time around. They are one of the best-balanced teams in the entire NFL. Only the Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins scored more points than them last season while just the Baltimore Ravens and the Kansas City Chiefs conceded fewer. Having the talent at their disposal on both sides of the ball makes them a leading contender every season.

In Brock Purdy, they have one of the most accurate arms in the league. He now has two seasons behind him and can continue to improve his game as he matures. A 69.4% completion rate and a passer rating of 113 last season mark him down as elite. In fact, only five times in NFL history has a quarterback had a passer rating of 140+ in four games in the same season. Tom Brady twice in 2007 and 2010, Aaron Rodgers in 2011, Roger Staubach in 1973 and Purdy last season. Christian McCaffrey led all running backs in yards and TDs last season while Deebo Samuel, George Kittle and the ever-improving Brandon Aiyuk are three of the most respected threats in the passing game.

On the other side of the ball, they have Nick Bosa. The defensive player of the year the season before last, he is one of the most feared defensive ends in the game. Fred Warner has incredible field coverage from his linebacker position and they did it all last year while missing their exceptional safety Talanoa Hufanga for a large portion of the regular season. Add Pro Bowl picks Charvarius Ward at corner and Javon Hargrave at tackle and they are a monster of a team on the D-side of the ball.
