Two weeks into the NFL season, there is already a strong sense of which teams will finish with the best records in the league. Which team will record the most wins is the subject of sportsbooks’ latest NFL prop.
Which Team Will Have the Most 2019 Regular-Season Wins?
| Team | Odds |
|---|---|
| New England Patriots | +133 |
| Kansas City Chiefs | +192 |
| Los Angeles Rams | +214 |
| Dallas Cowboys | +382 |
Odds taken September 19.
The Pats come in as the +133 favorites on sportsbooks’ board, followed by the Chiefs at +192 and Rams at +214.
Before the year, it would have been no surprise to see the Patriots, Chiefs, and Rams on this list. But the Cowboys have also been put into the elite tier after a strong start.
All four teams have started the season with perfect 2-0 records.
Rams Looking to Repeat
The Los Angeles Rams were one of only two teams to record 13 victories last season (along with the Saints). They were 7-1 on home field and 6-0 against divisional opponents.
With another favorable schedule in 2019, the Rams can definitely match — or even surpass — their win total from a season ago.
Los Angeles has two games against the 49ers and another two against the Cardinals. Add in winnable matchups against the Bengals, Falcons, Browns, Steelers and Bucs, and 11 wins looks like the team’s baseline.
Tough Road Ahead For Chiefs
The Chiefs didn’t get as lucky with their schedule this season as the AFC West champs have upcoming games against the Ravens, Texans, Vikings, Chargers, and Patriots.

Even with reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes leading the way, that is an extremely difficult road. Also take into consideration Mahomes will be without one of his favorite targets in Tyreek Hill, who is sidelined with a clavicle injury until at least Week 6.
Cowboys Considered Long Shots
The Cowboys are the long shots in this group, coming in at a very enticing +382. Dallas are 2-0 with blowout wins over the Giants and Redskins. Getting to 3-0 is a virtual certainty with the Dolphins coming to town in Week 3.
A team could scarcely ask for an easier opening slate, but early returns in Big D are still very positive.
Dak Prescott ranks third in passing yards with 674, behind Mahomes (821) and Andy Dalton (729). Ezekiel Elliott is moving up the rushing- yard ranks with 164 through two weeks of play.

The Cowboys may run into trouble in the second half of the season when five of their last 10 games come in tough road environments, including New England in Week 9, Chicago in Week 11, and Philadelphia in Week 13.
The Cowboys finished at the top of the NFC East division a year ago with a 10-6 record. Starting the 2019 season with two straight victories puts Dallas in great position to finish anywhere from 10 to 12. But that isn’t going to be enough to win this prop.
While the Patriots will be a popular bet at +133, consider betting on the Rams at +214 to win the most games. They have already played two of the tougher games on their schedule (at Carolina, vs New Orleans) and have owned their division-mates lately.
Pick: Los Angeles Rams (+214)
