As the month of August continues, the football world is one step closer to the start of the 2021 NFL season. However, that hasn’t stopped fans from wagering on various future markets to help the time pass by a little quicker. One of the many available markets is one that takes a look at each of the 32 teams’ projected win totals for the upcoming campaign. After all, sometimes these odds can help shed some light on possible scenarios.
BetOnline is one of the sportsbooks that’s looking at 2021 NFL season win totals and they’re projecting the Kansas City Chiefs to be the best team in the league with 12.5 wins. This really shouldn’t be that surprising considering the Chiefs have been one of the NFL’s best teams in the last half-decade or so. No other organization has more than the 60 victories that Kansas City has had since 2016.
Considering how the Chiefs are a perennial MVP candidate in Patrick Mahomes and other tremendous pieces such as Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill and a pretty solid defense, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them finish the 2021 NFL season with the most wins once again. They’re Super Bowl 56 favorites for a reason, so expect them to finish atop the league to display their dominance once again.

Texans Projected to Be Worst Team
While the Chiefs may be projected to finish with the highest win total, the Houston Texans are on the other end of the spectrum as BetOnline figures they’ll finish with a league-worst four wins. That win total shouldn’t come as much of a surprise as the Texans were one of the worst teams in the 2020 season, finishing with a 4-12 record. Considering how the organization didn’t make any major improvements on either side of the ball this offseason, it wouldn’t be surprising to see them finishing at the bottom of the standings in the 2021 NFL season.
That’s not even to mention the uncertainty surrounding quarterback Deshaun Watson. His situation is still up in the air as he deals with sexual assault allegations and there’s also the possibility that Houston could move him before the 2021 NFL season even begins. If Watson ends up not starting for the Texans for any reason, the duties would fall on Tyrod Taylor’s shoulders — who’s started just four games since 2017. Either way, the future looks bleak for the Texans as they’ll likely be basement dwellers for at least one more season.
