NFL futures betting strategy 2023: Win total, Super Bowl, MVP, rookies, division winners and more expert picks
SportsLine's top NFL expert R.J. White shares his full slate of 30 futures bets he's made for the 2023 NFL season.
The Kansas City Chiefs are the defending Super Bowl champions, and their quarterback Patrick Mahomes is defending NFL MVP. 2023 NFL futures odds have both the Chiefs and Mahomes favored to repeat at +600, but are those the best bets to make in those markets? And which teams offer the best value on their win totals and division winner odds? Will Bijan Robinson run away with the Offensive Rookie of the Year award, or is another first-year player worth backing?
Before you lock in your 2023 NFL futures picks, you need to see what SportsLine expert R.J. White has to say.
White, a Fantasy and gambling editor for CBS Sports, consistently crushes against-the-spread picks and went 535-450-30 on his ATS picks from 2017-22, which returned more than $3,500 to $100 players. He also closed the 2022 NFL season on an incredible 107-80-6 run on his last 193 against-the-spread and total NFL picks, returning more than $1,800 for $100 bettors. Â
Now, White has revealed the 30 futures bets he has made, which include plays on win totals, division winners, make/miss playoff props, conference and Super Bowl winners, as well as several different NFL awards, which features one 200-1 longshot MVP play.
We'll give one pick away: White placed one unit on Bears Under 7.5 wins. "Chicago was the worst team in the league last year, earning the No. 1 overall pick and trading it away for a package of picks and D.J. Moore," White says. "Not enough was done to address a defense that finished last in points allowed, so an improvement of five wins hinges on Justin Fields taking a massive step forward. It's possible, but not to the point where the Bears should be heavy favorites to win eight games. I'll take the value on +120."
White also has five division winner plays, all at plus odds, among his 30 futures bets for the 2023 season, as well as one major 500-1 longshot in one award category. You need to see them all before locking in your plays!
