To aid your NFL wagers at apps like ESPN BET Virginia, BetVirginia.com utilized Champs or Chumps to look at how teams ended the rest of the season after starting 4-5 since 2013. There have been 58 teams to start 4-5 in the last 10 seasons.
Performance Of NFL Teams Starting 4-5
Just getting into the postseason is a tough task with only 16 (27.6%) of the 58 teams extending their seasons. Only nine (15.5%) have won a game in the Wild Card Round, with just three (5.2%) of those teams getting through a Divisional Round game.
Forget about the final two games as no teams have won a Conference Championship or Super Bowl title. It’s no surprise then the Commanders playoff chances are just +800 for and -1400 against.
Commanders Head to Seattle as Underdog
As of Wednesday morning at Virginia betting apps, the Commanders are a 6.5-point and +220 money line underdog at Seattle (-275) with the over/under game total at 45.5 points.
Checking their future markets, Washington is at +10000 to win the NFC and +25000 to win the Super Bowl. They are also the third choice (+15000) to win the NFC East Division behind Dallas (+450) and the prohibitive and defending divisional champion Philadelphia (-650).
Washington starting quarterback Sam Howell is at +15000 at BetMGM Virginia to win the Associated Press Offensive Player of the Year award with wide receiver Terry McLaurin listed at +25000.
