This weekend, the Las Vegas Hilton released the hotly anticipated preseason win totals for every NFL team. (If you’re unfamiliar, every team is assigned a number of wins. Bettors can wager on whether a team goes over or under that total. It serves a barometer for the oddsmakers’ expectations for each team.)

There were few surprises on either end of the spectrum, as a majority of teams had predictable totals. Denver and Seattle were tops with 11 wins, while Jacksonville and its 4.5 over/under brought up the rear.

Then there’s the Carolina Panthers, a team coming off a surprise 12-4 year and hoping to capitalize on the momentum with a second straight NFC South title. Their win total, as projected by the Las Vegas Hilton? Eight, the same as an Atlanta Falcons team that finished 4-12 last season.

That’s an ouch. With the exceptions of John Harbaugh, Ozzie Newsome, Joe Flacco and the entire city of Baltimore, it seems no one liked Carolina’s offseason or thought much of their 12-4 campaign.

The top 10 in win totals:

1. Broncos 11.0

1. Seahawks 11.0

3. Patriots 10.5

3. 49ers 10.5

5. Packers 10.0

6. Colts 9.5

6. Saints 9.5

8. Bengals 9.0

8. Eagles 9.0

10. Ravens 8.5

10. Steelers 8.5

(Note: The over/unders aren’t necessarily created equal. Fluctuations on the money line can vary the payouts and odds on each. For instance, a $100 bet on the Ravens over 8.5 won’t win the same amount of money as a $100 bet on the Ravens under 8.5.)

The rest of the list can be seen at pregame.com, courtesy RJ Bell. The best number: Dallas at eight, which would be the team’s fourth consecutive 8-8 finish. Who says Vegas doesn’t have a sense of humor?

What’s just as good as looking ahead at the 2014 totals? Looking back at the 2013 predictions. The biggest overreach saw the 2-14 Texans start with 10.5 wins and the Redskins (3-13) with an 8.5 over/under. On the other side, the 11-5 Chiefs started the season at seven wins, the same as the 12-4 Panthers. Given that, you can say Carolina’s reward for a 12-4 season was one additional win in the eyes of the oddsmakers.
