More than three months before the 2024-25 campaign commences, NFL regular-season win totals are on the oddsboard and getting attention.
And early wagering shows a lot of interest in two teams from one state.
“The main action that we’re seeing has involved the state of Pennsylvania,” Caesars Sports head of football trading Joey Feazel said, alluding to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles.
Feazel provides his insights on where bettors are hitting the Over and the Under in early betting on NFL season win totals.

So the Kenny Pickett era in Pittsburgh was a short one, ending after just two seasons.
Bettors are intrigued by both sides of the Steelers’ season win total.

But there is some push back betting on the Under, too. At 8.5 wins, the Under is -160 and the Over +130.
“The Steelers have the most interest of all the teams, with the public liking the Over and sharps liking the Under,” Feazel said. “It seems like it’s a do-or-die year for Mike Tomlin, and the interest in the Steelers has been phenomenal.”

Fly Eagles Fly
Similar to their cross-state peers, the Eagles are getting support to clear their regular-season win total. Caesars opened Philadelphia at 10.5, with the Under a -135 favorite. The total remains 10.5, but with the Over a -125 favorite.
After a 10-1…
