NFL futures: Two bets on which teams will have the fewest wins this year

The ultimate fade you can make in the NFL futures market is looking at which teams might finish the season with the league's fewest wins. The favorites are some of last year's biggest losers, Carolina and New England, but we're seeing some value at longer odds for some teams who figure to be in for a rough 2024.

Two bets to finish the NFL season with the fewest wins

New York Giants (+1000 DraftKings)

The Giants are in such a horrible spot at the moment from a roster-building perspective, and yes, that all starts at the quarterback position.

Two seasons ago, Daniel Jones threw a ton of check-down passes and avoided making mistakes, and the Giants surprisingly made the playoffs out of the NFC, winning a playoff game.

New York then had a decision to make on Jones's future, and mistakenly decided the best course of action would be to extend him with a four-year, $160 million contract. Jones proceeded to get injured in 2023 and miss most of the season, and the Giants are now stuck with this contract for three more seasons.

Jones has never been better than mediocre, and New York is hitching their wagon to him in the hopes that he can figure something out this year. This has disaster written all over it, and after losing their best offensive player (Saquon Barkley), and letting their 24-year old budding star safety (Xavier McKinney) walk in free agency, this team has gotten worse on both sides. Meanwhile, the rest of the NFC East is better, meaning we've got a near-lock for fourth place in the division here for the Giants.

New York has to also face the tough AFC North, plus matchups with teams like the Colts, Bucs and Seahawks that they should be underdogs in.

This could be a rough one for the Giants, and it could be the end of Jones's marriage with the team as their starter, even while they keep paying him for two more seasons past this one.
