Much to the delight of fans across the world, the NFL regular season is just over two months from finally getting underway.

All of the NFL teams are busily making preparations for the upcoming season. The New England Patriots, who stunned the Atlanta Falcons to win the Super Bowl in February, are arguably even better than they were last year, as they added Brandin Cooks and will have a healthy Rob Gronkowski in their line-up.

Other teams, such as the Dallas Cowboys, are expected to take a step back after overachieving last season.

Here are the current over/under lines for each team in the NFL:

Arizona Cardinals, Over 8.0 Wins, -140, Under 8.0 Wins, +110
Atlanta Falcons, Over 9.5 Wins, -130, Under 9.5 Wins, Even
Baltimore Ravens, Over 9 Wins, EVEN, Under 9.5 Wins, -130
Buffalo Bills, Over 6 Wins, -150, Under 6 Wins, +120
Carolina Panthers, Over 8.5 Wins, -175, Under 8.5 Wins, +145
Chicago Bears, Over 5.5 Wins, +135, Under 5.5 Wins, -165
Cincinnati Bengals, Over 8.5 Wins, -105, Under 8.5 Wins, -125
Cleveland Browns, Over 4.5 Wins, EVEN, Under 4.5 Wins, -130
Dallas Cowboys, Over 9.5 Wins, -150, Under 9.5 Wins, +120
Denver Broncos, Over 8.5 Wins, EVEN, Under 8.5 Wins, -130
Detroit Lions, Over 8 Wins, -105, Under 8 Wins, -125
Green Bay Packers, Over 10 Wins, -165, Under 10 Wins, +135
Houston Texans, Over 8.5 Wins, -125, Under 8.5 Wins, -105
Indianapolis Colts, Over 9 Wins, -105, Under 9 Wins, -125
Jacksonville Jaguars, Over 6 Wins, -150, Under 6 Wins, +120
Kansas City Chiefs, Over 9 Wins, -125, Under 9 Wins, -105
L.A. Chargeres, Over 7.5 Wins, -125, Under 7.5 Wins, -105
L.A. Rams, Over 5.5 Wins, +110, Under 5.5 Wins, -140
Miami Dolphins, Over 7.5 Wins, -135, Under 7.5 Wins, +105
Minnesota Vikings, Over 8.5 Wins, -115, Under 8.5 Wins, -115
New England Patriots, Over 12.5 Wins, -130, Under 12.5 Wins, EVEN
New Orleans Saints, Over 8 Wins, -125, Under 8 Wins, -105
New York Giants, Over 9 Wins, -115, Under 9 Wins, -115
New York Jets, Over 4.5 Wins, +145, Under 4.5 Wins, -175
Oakland Raiders, Over 10 Wins, -105, Under 10 Wins, -125
Philadelphia Eagles, Over 8 Wins, -130, Under 8 Wins, EVEN
Pittsburgh Steelers, Over 10.5 Wins, -115, Under 10.5 Wins, -115
San Francisco 49ers, Over 4.5 Wins, -150, Under 4.5 Wins, +120
Seattle Seahawks, Over 10.5 Wins, -115, Under 10.5 Wins, -115
Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Over 8.5 Wins, -130, Under 8.5 Wins, EVEN
Tennessee Titans, Over 8.5 Wins, -150, Under 8.5 Wins, +120
Washington Redskins, Over 7.5 Wins, -130, Under 7.5 Wins, EVEN

-

There are a few decent values that I see in this list:

Dallas Cowboys, Under 9.5 Wins, +120

I expect that both Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott will regress somewhat in 2017. In addition, the Dallas Cowboys offensive line isn't going to be quite as good as it was last year.

Green Bay Packers, Over 10 Wins, -165

The NFC North is not going to be very good once again this season. Aaron Rodgers looked practically unstoppable in the second half of last season and the Packers have a multitude of offensive weapons to roll out. I think that the Packers will end up somewhere like 12-4 this season.

Seattle Seahawks, Under 10.5 Wins, -115

The Seahawks are a very good team, though issues with various key personnel pieces (Richard Sherman) may end up being a distraction to the team. I think that the Seahawks end up 9-7 this season, which means that the 10.5 wins line will give us a bit of a cushion.
