The 2024 NFL season kicks off on Thursday and Paddy’s gone properly American football crazy with the markets on offer.
We’ve already looked at season win total tips and player specials, and now our NFL expert Andrew Cunneen picks out a few team specials that have caught his eye ahead of the big kick-off…

Houston Texans to Score 1+ Touchdown in Every Game
CJ Stroud is projected to land in or around 40 passing touchdowns this year.
That’s based on them opening up the offense to him, natural progression as a pro and the acquisition of Stefon Diggs.
For those counting, that’s adding seventeen touchdowns to his total from last year.
In his seventeen games, he only failed to either throw or rush for a touchdown in two games – one of them being his debut in the NFL.
That’s not even accounting for a run game that’s bringing in the experienced Joe Mixon.
This is the best value prop available.
The New York Giants to Be the Last Remaining Winless Team
The Giants defense is totally fine on the front end. But in the secondary, they’ve more holes than a distributor road in Cork.
They’re going to give up points, so let’s run off the basis of them needing to score 17 points to win a game.
Opening weekend against the Vikes looks tempting, but they’ve just added Stephon Gilmore to pair with Byron Murphy, Harrison Smith and Fabian Moreau. That’s a solid group.
After that? Commanders, Browns, Cowboys, Seahawks, Bengals, Eagles, Steelers. The Commanders are the easiest matchup there but even they’ve got Daron Payne and Jonathan Allen who will force Daniel Jones off his spot. And we’ve seen him off-balance. Ouch.
Best Regular Season Record – San Francisco 49ers
I like this for a few reasons.
One is because they’re a full-steam ahead outfit. Kyle Shanahan doesn’t really pace himself and generally pays for it when it comes to the playoffs.
But it’s undeniable that he’s the best offensive mind in the sport, and they’ll just continue to blow people away.
The second reason I like this is because the only real threat to them in my book is the Kansas City Chiefs – who will be in a division they’ll have won by mid-October. For the Chiefs to grab the #1 seed in the AFC, I think they only need to win twelve games.
And that should come easily. By the time that late December comes around, you won’t be getting Kelce snaps, they might even sit Mahomes. This is not something San Francisco will do given all the big hitters in the NFC, and the team’s desire to once again prove they’re the best regular-season team in the league.
