Mike McCarthy, Matt Rhule, Robert Saleh are on the NFL’s hottest seats | THE HERD

Colin Cowherd shares which head coaches have the most pressure this upcoming season, including Ron Rivera, Mike McCarthy, Pete Carroll, Matt Rhule, Kevin Stefanski, Dan Campbell, Robert Saleh and Brandon Staley.

Senior sports trader Dylan Brossman said FOX Bet has received Super Bowl futures wagers on all teams, but the Bears have received the least amount of money followed by the Seahawks, Falcons and Giants.

“At this point, we are not seeing any unusually large bets on any of these teams, but we have laid a handful of $50 wagers that would pay out $5K at 100-1,” Brossman said.

Just because a team has a bad straight-up (SU) record doesn’t mean you can’t make a profit. FOX Sports research revealed the best team to bet on against the spread (ATS) last season of those nine teams was the Lions, who went 11-6 ATS.

Meyer said a majority of the money bet on the Falcons and Bears over/under (O/U) on win totals is on the under.

“Not only have the Bears received the most under money among every NFL win total at Caesars Sportsbook, it’s by a rather large margin,” Meyer wrote. “Chicago’s under has nabbed 67% more money than the next-closest under, the Falcons (O/U 5). Besides the Falcons, the Bears have collected at least twice as much under money as any other team.”

OVER/UNDER WIN TOTALS

Chicago Bears 6.5 wins

Over +125: (bet $10 to win #22.50 total)
Under -149: (bet $10 to win $16.71 total)

Atlanta Falcons 5 wins

Over +100: (bet $10 to win $20 total)
Under -125: (bet $10 to win $18 total)
