While not a big fan of exotic wagers, I do at the beginning of the year look at over and under win totals on NFL teams for the season as a good way to make a long term investment. Forget ESPN and all the others, and listen to the Pro's guys, as this is not glossed over for TV, but the real deal. Too much public perception leads to Vegas cashing in year after year. After considering the free agent market, not so much the draft as few rookies make a huge impact other than the rare exception, here's my Top 5 team wagers on over and under prop bets for season win totals.

I enter my 17th as a pro capper this season, and when I started out it was the Big 8, and now the Big 12, which is my specialty conference. Off another 65% ATS in this conference, and a sweep of the bowl games with Big 12 teams last year, I once again look at this conference as a major player in the national title hunt in 2008. Numerous teams may surprise you this season, with some new blood at Nebraska with Bo Pellini back in house as the head man, and Missouri and Kansas coming off monster years that saw them both play excellent post season games, the Big 12 is a premier power football conference. As a Husker fan it was painful, yet refreshing to see KU and MU do well in the absence of my beloved Huskers. There are teams on the rise and others with high expectations. Be sure to look for my preseason reports forthcoming.
