6 days and counting!

As of Friday, August 30, we are officially less than a week away from the first regular-season NFL game of the 2024-25 season and the quest for Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans!

The Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens kick off the season with a Thursday night contest in a highly-anticipated rematch of last year's AFC Championship game which the Chiefs won 17-10. Dimers' prediction for this game is live now, and find out how to stream this game and every Week 1 matchup with a trial to NFL+ Premium as part of this new DraftKings bonus offer.

We recently launched our exclusive 2024-25 NFL Futures Betting Guide, an exclusive release for our Dimers Pro members. 


Packed with 12 different futures markets, all simulated by the cutting-edge analytics you've come to know and love on Dimers.com, this guide is something special, and we're excited to show it off.

Starting today, we'll look at different aspects of the guide as we count down the days to the NFL season. Each day, we'll highlight one piece of data from our NFL Futures Betting Guide relevant to that day's countdown, from 14 down to 1. You'll find the previous insights in each subsequent article each day, as well.

Day 6 - A Perfect Season?

A graph with NFL teams' probabilities to go 17-0The only teams without a 0% probability of a perfect season

Today is not about a look at how you can profit with our model's data, but how you can avoid falling into an odds trap on the books.

In the history of the NFL, only 4 teams have ever gone undefeated in the regular season. The Bears did so in 1934 and 1942 and since the merger, just the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots have achieved the feat.

Now, there's an extra game in the mix which compounds the already nearly impossible task.

You can see that our model gives 7 teams greater than a 0% probability of completing a 17-0 campaign in 2024-25, and even then, they're all under 1%, most of them under 0.1%.

Despite those incredibly slim chances, the books are offering silly prices for a team to do so. Our "favored" team to pull it off is the San Francisco 49ers at 0.14%, yet their odds imply a full 1% chance.

Sounds kinds close right? Well, that 0.14% chance means they should be no shorter than +71300, showing you that it's not close at all.

Even worse, the books have the Eagles even shorter at +8500, yet we give them just a 0.02% chance! That should be almost +500000!

This market might be fun to imagine the ride of tailing a team that might go 17-0 but realistically, it's a bad bet all around and it's important to understand the true value of markets like this as you look to become a better bettor.
