The 2009 NFL over/unders have been released and there are some interesting lines. As expected the New England Patriots top the number with 11.5 wins and the Detroit Lions bring in the low number with a O/U of 5.
An over that I really like is Tennessee at 9. Seems like such a low number for a team that brings virtually everyone back, except for Albert Haynseworth. Remember the Titans won 13 games in a row last year. Another over that seems too good to be true is the Arizona Cardinals at 8.5. Does Boldin’s status mean that much to the defending NFC Champs. They play in the leagues worst division, shouldn’t that pretty much be five wins right there?
Some other overs that seem attractive are the Steelers, Bears, and Houston. Why doesn’t Vegas just not move the line up/down a .5 win instead of charging such high juice lines?
And as far as unders go my favorite one might be the Oakland Raiders. What do you guys think?

I definitely agree with you on Tennessee, Pittsburgh, Chicago, and Houston, and I think I’m going to have to jump on Dallas at over 9. There’s no reason why that team shouldn’t win at least 10 games.
Another over that could be attractive is San Francisco. They finished strong under Mike Singletary last season, and I like them to push for a winning record and the NFC West title.
