Last week we looked at three NFL coordinators who are new to their jobs and hold a lot of promise. We’re going to look at the other side of things this week – five guys who are on hot seats. All of them are in desperate need of a big year this year, and some of them probably shouldn’t have been given the chance they have been given this year.

The weekly NFL recap for this week saw 4 major stories, all of which could have an impact on handicapping this years NFL season. With week 1 NFL games a little over 2 months away it is important to keep up to date with this news and at it to your betting arsenal.
We talked about turnover differential in our last article in handicapping season win totals. The premise is that luck tends to inflate and deflate a teams win over a course of a season. Normally teams that had positive turnover differential one season tend to not be so lucky the next time around and vice versa. We are looking to buck that trend again this season. Once again here is that turnover table from last year.
