NFL predictions for 2025: Specialist unveils top underdogs, NFL special bets, futures, and prop odds
The NFL preseason is underway, and as the excitement builds for the upcoming season, Eric Cohen, host of the Early Edge NFL Prop Show, has shared his top picks for the 2025 NFL season's futures specials, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
Commanders to Win the NFC
Cohen projects the Washington Commanders to win the NFC, with odds of +950 at FanDuel. He anticipates the Commanders to go 11-6, led by Rookie of the Year quarterback Jayden Daniels and coach Dan Quinn. Cohen believes this is a strong value bet, with bonuses available, as the Commanders could advance to the Super Bowl after a long drought since 1992.
Avoid New York Giants in NFC East Bets
Cohen advises against betting on the New York Giants to win the NFC East, with odds of +2500. He cites their tough schedule and low expected wins as reasons for this recommendation. The Philadelphia Eagles are favourites to win the NFC East, but Cohen highlights the Commanders and Cowboys as key competitors.
Multi-Team Futures Specials
FanDuel offers a variety of multi-team futures specials with varying odds. Cohen recommends the Patriots and Jaguars each to win more than 7.5 games, and the Panthers to win more than 6.5 games (+470) as a good value bet, despite some skepticism on the Patriots' exact wins.
Cohen passes on the Chargers, Raiders, or Broncos to win the AFC West (-130) due to poor value odds. He also recommends the Bills, Texans, and Rams to each win their divisions (+700) as a solid risk with good payout potential.
Promotional Bonuses
FanDuel is offering promotional bonuses such as $150 in bonus bets for winning $5 wagers, increasing value for bettors on these specials.
Other Recommendations
Cohen has also recommended placing a bet on the Bills and Texans to win their divisions, with odds of +700. He predicts that the Patriots may win another game, and he expects Jacksonville to win eight games and Carolina to win seven.
Cohen has passed on a bet for the Titans and Browns to each win more than 5.5 games and the Bengals to win more than 9.5 games, as he does not see enough value in the odds. He has also passed on a bet for Commanders over 9.5 games, Raiders over 7.5 games, and Titans over 5.5 games, as he does not see enough value in the odds.
However, Cohen suggests taking a shot with his season predictions being wrong with the Commanders at 10-1 odds, but at 7-1, it's still a fade for him. Cohen has also recommended betting on the Bengals and Commanders to each make the conference championship game, with odds of +3000.
Cohen's Projection Model, which outperformed human experts in the 2024 NFL season, has revealed Fantasy football cheat sheets, which include the top sleepers, breakouts, and busts for the NFL season. Cohen suggests using a FanDuel promo code to get more value, offering $150 in bonus bets with a winning $5 wager.
