2017 NFL Regular Season Proposition Betting Odds

–The 2016 NFL season has one game remaining but there are already plenty of questions about the 2017 season.

–One big question–where will Tony Romo be playing next season?

–Historically, nothing happens in terms of front office moves until after the Super Bowl.

The matchup for Super Bowl 51 is set and the NFC Champion Atlanta Falcons will meet the AFC Champion New England Patriots on Sunday, February 5th at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. The Patriots opened a -3 point favorite with the total set at 58 or 59 depending on the sportsbook. Over the next two weeks we’ll bring you plenty of coverage on Super Bowl betting and particularly the wide variety of proposition bets.

Before we get started looking at the Super Bowl let’s look even further into the future–to the 2017 National Football League regular season. There are already storylines developing about the *next* NFL season. One of the biggest questions involves longtime Dallas Cowboys’ quarterback Tony Romo. With the emergence of rookie quarterback Dak Prescott leading the Cowboys to a 13-3 record it’s all but certain that Tony Romo will be playing somewhere else next season. That’s where we’ll start the 2017 NFL Regular Season Proposition betting odds–asking which team will Tony Romo be with at kickoff of Week 1?

Other big storylines include former Cleveland Browns’ quarterback Johnny Manziel. Manziel essentially drank himself out of the National Football League but he now insists that he’s ‘clean and sober’ and wants a chance to play. We’ve set odds on whether he’ll be on the active roster of any team for week one of the 2017 NFL season. Also, will Brock Osweiler be the starting quarterback for the Houston Texans in their first game of the 2017 season? The Texans signed Osweiler to a four year, $72 million contract before the start of the 2016 season yet he was ineffective. That has made his future in Houston cloudy–in fact, it’s one of the favorites for a new team for the aforementioned Tony Romo.

The other odds on this list are more technical and nature and based on a statistical analysis of what happens in a typical NFL season. For example, there are odds on whether any 2017 NFL regular season game will end in a tie (‘Yes’ is a -150 favorite) and an over/under bet on the number of ties (Under 1.5 is a -500 favorite). There are also odds on team win/loss records, the Super Bowl and regular season MVP and how many coaches will be fired during the season (‘Over 1.5’ is a -150 favorite).
