HOUSTON – The 2021-2022 NFL season officially begins on September 9 and sportsbooks have already predicted the teams that will have the worst seasons with odds attached for gamblers to bet on them.
What factors into these betting lines for the worst teams of the NFL without a single game being played yet in the new year? Past records, trades, injuries, and player performance - all of the great things that make a good NFL bet to begin with.
The Five Most Favored To Be Predictably Bad NFL Teams
Possessing the most favored spot as the team to have the worst season in the NFL for 2021 on sportsbooks like BetOnline is the Houston Texans. The Texans went 4-12 last season, making them the favorite to have another terrible year in 2021 with odds of (+175).
The Detroit Lions are in second place to win the number one spot as the worst in the NFL with odds of (+300).
The Lions went 5-11 in 2020, which was better than their 2019 record of 3-12. The coaching staff is peppered with formerly seasoned NFL players who believe they can bring the team out of their slump. Stranger things have happened though, like the Miami Dolphins not making the cut for the top five worst in this NFL betting category.
In third place, is “Gang Green” better known as the New York Jets with odds of (+700).
The Jets went 2-14 in 2020 but it wasn’t a loving heartfelt Valentine’s Day style season record instead being more like the Valentine’s Day Massacre. Perhaps rookie QB Zach Wilson can be the key that this team needs, but that’s a lot of pressure to put on a newbie to the league.

The Cincinnati Bengals take the fourth spot on the board for a season on the road to nowhere with odds of (+1000).
The Bengals went 4-11 in 2020 but quarterback Joe Burrow is back and said to be better than ever in his second year with the team. Burrow injured his knee in his debut season with the NFL last year but the Bengals are hoping that he can bring to the field what he brought to LSU in 2021.
And last - the Jacksonville Jaguars with odds of (+1200) for being the worst team of 2021. The Jaguars went 1-15 in 2020, almost having a perfectly defeated season.
The reason the Jags are not first for the title is that this season their roster is stacked with some prime players like rookie QB Trevor Lawrence and RB Travis Etienne Jr.
This wager is just one of many futures bets that can be found at online sportsbooks for in the NFL section. The season is less than two months away but that doesn’t mean sports bettors can’t get in early on some of the action.
