Before you lock in any NFL picks or game predictions, you NEED to see what SportsLine NFL expert Eric Cohen has to say.
Cohen, SportsLine host of the weekly Early Edge NFL Props Show, is simulating the entire regular season and playoffs. In his season picks article in 2024, Cohen hit three of four win totals best bets, two of four division winner best bets, and had the Eagles to win the NFC at +600. Last year, he went 180-91-1 (66%) on his NFL straight-up picks in the regular season. Anyone who followed Cohen's best bets could be way up!
Now Cohen has found value in teams' win totals by simulating all 285 NFL games this season in an easy-to-read grid format.
We can tell you he is high on the New Orleans Saints to exceed their projected win total of 7.5, saying they win 9 games. On the other hand, Cohen is fading the Green Bay Packers win total of 10.5 and predicts they'll go from a playoff team in 2025 to placing last in the division at 8-9 in 2026.
Cohen is also high on a potential Super Bowl matchup that pays 59-1 and several win total bets at plus-money! You ABSOLUTELY need to see which NFL bets he's making before entering any of your own.
