Last year gave us a rarity: 16 losses by an NFL franchise. What's interesting to note is that other than the Cleveland Browns epically terrible season, every squad finished with 13 losses or fewer.
The same was true in 2016 except for the Browns tallying one victory.
Loses | Odds |
---|---|
Over 13.5 | -160 |
Under 13.5 | +140 |

Wins | Odds |

Perfect 16-0 Regular Season

Awful 0-16 Regular Season

This wager has "no" written all over it, which is why you would have to plunk down $2,000 to make $100.
Considering only three teams since 1976 have gone winless during non-strike-shortened seasons (2017 Browns, 2008 Lions, 1976 Buccaneers), the probability here is extremely low.
Probability | Odds |
---|---|
Yes | +1200 |
No | -2000 |

Perfect 19-0 Season
The Miami Dolphins remain the only team in NFL history to finish the year with a perfect record when they went 17-0 back in 1972 (the regular season consisted of 14 games back then).
Probability | Odds |
---|---|
Yes | +2000 |
No | -4000 |

Will a Regular Season Game End in a Tie?
There have been only five ties since 2012, and none since the Redskins and Bengals played to a 27-27 stalemate inside Wembley Stadium in 2016.
However, remember that overtime is only ten minutes now, which increases the probability of a tie.
Probability | Odds |
---|---|
Yes | -220 |
No | +180 |
