After six long months without football action, the NFL season returns for the 2016 season. This will be the 97th season for the National Football League. The NFL games will kick off with the game between Super Bowl 50 champion Denver Broncos against Carolina Panthers. The NFL schedule will see teams competing in the regular season from September 8 to January 1. The play-offs start on January 7 before the conclusion of the season is marked by the Super Bowl LI on February 5 at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.

NFL Preseason

The 2016 season promises to be interesting for each one of the NFL teams for various reasons. Cleveland Browns have been encouraged by the positive pre-season and also by Josh Gordon’s return. Houston Texans have slipped down in the odds for the 2016 NFL season largely because of their poor preseason; the beast-mode potential of Jadeveon Clowney does offer some hope. Meanwhile, Detroit Lions are not expected to offer anything significant in the campaign according to various betting tips.

The Great Question of The Summer

One of the overwhelming favourites to win the Super Bowl 51 is New England Patriots. The team are backed quite heavily at 15/2 and these are the best odds from various bookmakers. They are expected to be challenged by Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks. The latter two teams are backed at 17/2 by the bookmakers who offer bet online opportunities. New England Patriots have been a hugely polarising outfit, but oddsmakers do not seem to worry about the lack of Tom Brady for the first four games of the campaign. The player is suspended as part of the Deflategate saga.

Brady has been the most important player for New England, but it is surprising to see that his absence has not affected the odds much. This is largely down to the team encountering the suspension during the easy parts of the campaign. Week 1 will see New England on the road against Arizona followed by home matches against Miami, Houston, and Buffalo.

One of the most important questions of this summer in New England is what record the Patriots will have when Garoppolo will hand the reins of the team back to Brady. This will happen on Oct. 9 for the Week 5 battle in Cleveland. Can this inexperienced passer keep the team afloat? There will be games at Gilette Stadium (three straight against the Bills, Texans and Dolphins) and at Arizona. Will Brady win with a foundation for a title run or will he dig out of a quarter-pole hole?

Meanwhile, Bruce Arians has been in charge of an ever improving Arizona Cardinals. The team just missed out on the final game after having gone through with a record of 13 wins. Even though Seattle Seahawks have been on a downhill trajectory ever since winning the Super Bowl XLVIII. The team did come close in the Super Bowl XLIX. The recent record seems to be the major factor behind bookmakers backing Seattle Seahawks.
