As the 2025 NFL preseason ramps up, the excitement among football enthusiasts and bettors intensifies, particularly with the expansive array of futures and specials now available at FanDuel Sportsbook. Unlike any other sport, the NFL offers an unparalleled breadth of longshot opportunities, allowing astute bettors to leverage early insights and capitalize on favorable odds before the regular season officially commences. These multi-team futures specials from FanDuel range significantly in payout, presenting diverse risk-reward profiles for every type of wager.
At the forefront of this analytical landscape is SportsLine expert handicapper Eric Cohen, renowned host of the weekly NFL Prop Show. Cohen meticulously dissects the latest trends and specific NFL futures specials offered by FanDuel, leveraging his deep understanding of team dynamics and player performance. His comprehensive approach is designed to equip bettors with crucial insights, guiding their decisions for optimal returns on their 2025 NFL wagers.
Cohen’s track record speaks volumes about his predictive prowess. In his previous season’s picks article, he accurately projected three out of four win total best bets and secured two out of four division winner best bets. Most notably, his bold call on the Eagles to clinch the NFC at lucrative +600 odds proved exceptionally rewarding, underscoring the significant financial gains enjoyed by those who followed his strategic NFL predictions.
Among his current top recommendations, Cohen confidently gives a “PLAY” verdict on a multi-team special that includes the New England Patriots, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Carolina Panthers. He projects the Patriots at 6-11, acknowledging a slight upside, and predicts eight wins for Jacksonville alongside seven for Carolina. This bet, priced at nearly 5-1 odds, represents compelling value according to his meticulous assessment of each team’s potential performance this season.
Another strategic “PLAY” from Cohen involves a parlay featuring the Buffalo Bills, Houston Texans, and Los Angeles Rams. He highlights the Buffalo Bills as a virtual lock to dominate the AFC East, and the Houston Texans as an incredibly solid wager to achieve back-to-back AFC South titles. While acknowledging the Rams’ competitive standing within the NFC West, Cohen believes the attractive +700 odds for this specific prop make it a highly justifiable risk for bettors looking for substantial payouts on this combination.
However, not all opportunities meet Cohen’s stringent criteria for value. He designates a “PASS” for a particular prop parlay that likely involves individual player yardage totals. His rationale is rooted in his projections for certain players, such as a potential 1,200+ rushing yards for Jeanty and over 1,000 receiving yards for Adams in Los Angeles. Yet, the possibility of a player like Pickens thriving in a high-scoring offense and also surpassing 1,000 receiving yards would negate the parlay, making it an unfavorable bet in his expert opinion.
Finally, Cohen advises a strategic “PLAY” on a compelling prop that includes the Washington Commanders and Cincinnati Bengals. He holds a strong conviction that Washington is poised to upset expectations within the NFC and potentially make a deep run to the Super Bowl. Similarly, he foresees the Bengals enjoying a robust season, advancing at least to the second round of the playoffs. This combination, offering significant value, is deemed a calculated shot by Cohen, who suggests a 0.25 unit wager to maximize the potential upside found at FanDuel.
